9 AM SUNDAY | OCTOBER 30. An ordinance is a Christian experience with physical elements (water; bread and cup), that is celebrated when the church of Jesus comes together. This word is closely associated with the term sacrament, which is an outward and visible sign of an inward and invisible grace. Join us at 9 a.m. this Sunday as we meditate on Jesus and the significance of His table, followed by an invitation to participate in the ordinance of communion together. Lead Pastor Dean Wertz will continue our Series In Christ, in Culture with a sermon entitled Breaking Bread Together. If you are unable to worship in person, we invite you to attend via livestream or watch the Service recording online.
HOPE GROUPS. This Sunday’s Service will be hosted by the Youth Hope Group – thank you! If you’ve been thinking about joining a group, we’d love to connect with you! Click here for more information.
CHILDREN’S MINISTRY. This 5th Sunday will be our monthly Family Service. Children of all ages are invited to worship together with their families and our intergenerational congregation.
