We are excited that you have chosen to worship with us today. We hope that you find our fellowship warm and friendly, the message meaningful and practical, and that you encounter God in a life-transforming way.
4. Pray according to the Spirit’s ___________________ not human reason
Please take a moment and fill out the Guest Card located in the seat in front of you and place it in the offering bag as it is passed. At the conclusion of the service take the card to the Welcome Counter in the foyer for a special “Thank you” gift. As our guest, we do not want you to feel obligated to participate in the offering unless you have a desire to; this is how those who call El Camino Baptist their church home support its ministries. If you have children with you, we encourage you to take advantage of our great preschool and children’s worship. This will free you and others to give full attention to worship and God’s Word — and your kid (s) will have a great time. See someone from Guest Services for assistance.

February 25, 2015 6:30 pm Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the 40 day season of Lent. A time of repentance and preparation for the great celebration of Easter. This is a service for imposition of ashes. It provides a time and place for people to reflect honestly about our relationship with God and others, confess our sins, receive forgiveness and cleansing and commit ourselves to walk in a newness of life. We will observe a Baptist Ash Wednesday together at 6:30 PM on February 25th.
