As a church family we are on a mission to

reach people for Christ. Our west property

at the intersection of St Rt 125 and Crane

Schoolhouse Rd/Macedonia Rd is just a tool

we can use to minister to people on behalf

of Christ. Our goal is simple. We want to reduce our debt so that

we can wrap up the first phase of relocation. After the land is paid

off, we can move on to the next step: developing our land. This

includes drainage, parking and sports fields.

Give through your offering envelope [check “other” and

write DIG - no need to write two separate checks] or Givelify.

WELCOME TO WORSHIP We ask that both members and guests fill out a “Connection Card” located in the bulletin and place it in the offering tray.

FIRST TIME GUEST? If you are joining us for the first time today, please stop by our Connection Counter, turn in your Connection Card and receive a gift.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO PARENTS If you need assistance locating any of our children’s areas [nursery through 5th grade] please don’t hesitate to ask one of our greeters.

COMMUNION & OFFERING Our communion service is intended for followers of Jesus Christ. If you wish to participate, take the bread and juice as they are passed. Guests with us today should not feel obligated to give during our offering time. We simply hope you are blessed by worshiping God with us today!

BAPTISM OR CHURCH MEMBERSHIP If you are interested in being baptized or becoming a part of our church family, talk with one of our staff members after worship, contact the office or note it on your Connection Card.

PARKING In an effort to alleviate our crowded parking situation we ask our members, who are able, to use our secondary parking across E. Plane St. [behind the veterinarian’s office], or back by our garage [S East St]. What great challenges to have!

SEATING If you are able, please move to the center of the row in order to make room for those who arrive late.

Notice: On occasion pictures will be taken to use on our website. If you do not wish to have your photo used in this way please contact the office.
