Text Box: Personal Dedication Sunday!
Text Box:                            “Blessed be the
                            Lord God" is the theme for our Personal Dedication program.  During the Worship Celebration on Sunday, May 3rd, we will prayerfully complete our Personal Dedication booklets and then bring them to the Altar to be dedicated.
     Our approach is on the need for us to grow in our faith relationship with God and not on the need of the church to receive.  This will bring us in closer unity with God and with one another through our sharing of our time, skills, and energy.
     We have witnessed the Christian Text Box: Education and Music Ministry presentations during Worship the last two Sundays.  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, care for Altar Cloths, attend Adult or Family Fellowship events, teach Sunday School, sing in the Chancel Choir, participate in Worship Drama and so much more!  We look forward to seeing you on May 3rd for Personal Dedication Sunday!
