Baptism Service
Church Sanctuary
Welcome to our Ordination and Baptism Service. Today we gather with grateful hearts to celebrate God’s calling and God’s transforming grace.
As we ordain His servant for ministry and witness the joy of new life through baptism, may our worship honor Christ and remind us of His faithfulness to His church.
*Students here at our church will “move up/promote” in Sunday school & Team Kid in a few weeks. Depending how old your child is or what grade they are in – they may stay in the same class or they may move up. Their teacher will let them know.
Second Harvest will be here at our church distributing food on Friday, August 21st at 10:00am.
Remember in Prayer…our students, teachers, & staff as they go back to school/college.
We pray that 2026-2027 is a wonderful, safe, and joy‑filled year for everyone. May students and adults alike let their light shine brightly for Christ in every place He leads them. May God bless you and keep you, and may His love guide your steps throughout the year.
We declare the words of Jeremiah for each one…
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
