Weekly Bulletin: 2022-12-28
“Two others, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death with him. And when they came to the place that is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. And Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do’” (Luke 23:32–34).
We’re starting off the New Year by looking at the event which remains at the center of our Christian faith — namely, the cross of Christ. Join us this Sunday, Jan. 1, at 10am for a morning of worship that will, Lord willing, direct your attention and affection to the only Author and Finisher of your faith.
Note: There will be Sunday school but no evening service. To learn more, visit https://www.stoningtonbaptist.org/.
