News & Updates: Week of 2021-05-17
I am thrilled to announce that on Sunday, June 6, we’ll be having a baptismal and communion service. If you’ve made a proclamation of faith and would like to take that next step in your journey of faith by publicly declaring your allegiance to Jesus, please come see either Pastor Nathan or myself. We’d love to be able to include you in this special service.
I am very excited for that Sunday, as Pastor Nathan and I will be coordinating an entire service around these two ordinances, baptism and communion. These, we believe, are the institutions which Jesus Christ established during his ministry in the New Testament that are indicative of a faithful New Testament church. It is only fitting, then, that we would do our best to be faithful to what Jesus himself established.
I pray you will make plans to attend this special service!
Blessings 🙏
Pastor Brad
