Baptism Service – Sanctuary


Special Day! We are having a Baptism today following our worship service.  We’re happy for those that are taking a step of obedience to be baptized. Please continue to pray for them on their Christian journey. If you would like to stay for the baptism just walk over to the sanctuary after our service.

“GLOW”

We have exciting things happening this summer for our children & youth. The first Wednesday of the month we will be having “GLOW” (God Lights Our World)
GLOW will be on Wednesday August 6.
There will be inflatables, pizza & we will end the night with the SHINE Puppet Team!
We will still meet each Wednesday during the summer but on these nights – there will be many fun things planned.

Can You Help?  There is great opportunity for our church family to serve in our community.  As we look forward to the 2025-2026 school year, Loudon Elementary School is in need of volunteer teams (2-4 people) to open car doors of students in the mornings (7:00am – 8:00am). A team or different teams from the church can serve once a week, once a month, or fill in a few spots in the year. Whatever fits your schedule best. This will be a great way to connect friendly faces from the local church to the students as well as encourage them. You never know the impact a smile and cheerful “Good morning” might have on a child.

If this is something you would like to do, please sign up on the designated sheet in the foyer of the MAC. If you have any questions please see Leslie Bivens. Once you sign up, you will be given more information.

We Need Volunteers!

We’re grateful for our amazing team of volunteers in children’s church and we’re hoping to add a couple more members to the team so we can rotate and give some of our dedicated volunteers a well-deserved month off. If you are interested or want more information, please see Leslie Bivens. There is a sign-up sheet posted in the foyer of the MAC.
