Our minister wants to meet you; he’ll be at the Welcome Table just for you immediately after the benediction. Also, there’s a gift for you at the table!
Religious Freedom Pamphlets
CHILDREN Our Nursery and Children’s programs offer a warm and caring atmosphere and are well supervised. Nursery and Pre-school classrooms are located along the entry hallway. A Junior Church service for grades 1st - 5th is located upstairs.
COMMUNION Jesus gave us this memorial to call our attention each week to the price He paid for our sins - death on a cross. All Christians are invited to participate in communion and meditate on God’s love and grace.
OFFERING Those of us who have committed our lives to Jesus give out of love to support His work here on earth. If you are a guest with us today, you are welcome to express your gratitude by giving but do not feel pressured.
DECISIONS Near the end of the service an invitation is extended. It is an opportunity for you to walk forward to make your intention known to accept Jesus as your Savior, rededicate your life, transfer your membership to this congregation, or ask for prayer and spiritual counsel.
BAPTISM You may witness a baptism today. Immersion in water pictures the death and burial of our old life without Jesus and the beginning of our new life as His follower. It is the moment when God’s grace unites with our faith providing forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit.
INFORMATION To request more information about the Christian life, this Church, or how we may minister more effectively to your needs, please come to the table at the front at the conclusion of the service.
