Text Box: “Blessed be the Lord God" is the theme for our Personal Dedication program. During the Worship Celebration on Sunday, May 3rd, we prayerfully completed our Personal Dedication booklets and then brought them to the Altar to be dedicated. Our approach is based on the need for us to grow in our faith relationship with God and not on the need of the church to receive. This brings us in closer unity with God and one another through our sharing of our time, skills, and energy.

Text Box: We have witnessed the Christian Education and Music Ministry presentations during Worship April. Other areas of opportunity include: ushering, greeting, serving refreshments, serving on a board, working in the kitchen for meals, participating in Women’s or Men’s Fellowship, caring for Altar Cloths, attending Adult or Family Fellowship events, teaching Sunday School, singing in the Chancel Choir, participating in Worship Drama and so much more! If you have not completed a booklet, please do so soon.
