Child Dedication

Child Dedication Services give parents of young children a formal, public opportunity to dedicate their child to the Lord. They recognize their child as a gift from God. The parents publicly commit to providing a nurturing environment that encourages their child to receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and to develop an ongoing relationship with Him. The church family commits to support the parents as they disciple their child. We are excited to pray for: Rejoice Sanner (Timothy & Lydia), Lydia Borke (Brian & Melissa), Shepherd Christenberry (Collin & Katie), Jonathan Foat (Adam & April), Jayden Mukachung (Eric & Tracy Nkulu), Adelyn & Caleb Nickols (Stephen & Katie), Sophia Anderson (Chase & Amanda), Hazel Dibble (Daniel & Lacey). Elizabeth Lenz (David & Mary), Bennett Marthaler (James & Sarah), and Thaddeus Plitt (Ben & Mercedes).

Baptism

We believe, in accordance with the Lord’s command, Christians should be baptized as a public declaration of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Through baptism, Christians are proclaiming the spiritual reality of our death to sin and resurrection to new life in Christ. Believers being baptized: Tanner Anevicius, Alexander Dahlke, Joseph Lang, Samuel Lang, Emilio Robles, Chara Thompson, Ava Burow, Chase Collins, Alexander Fude, Kaley Heiman, Sam Pausig, and Simeon Perkins.

New Equipping Classes including Two new Electives!

New classes are starting this Sunday, April 30. If you are in a specific lifestage, Young Married, Legacy (60+), Community of Parents, or any of the other stages, we have a class for you to GROW in your faith with us. Along with those opportunities, we also will have 2 new electives for all ages:

John Meinke is leading a class "What in the World is Going On: A Biblical Response" which invites us to examine our Biblical response to today's myriad of cultural and social issues affecting our families, our churches, the educational system, and society. This class will meet at 9:45am in the Community Room (134).
Pastor Keith & Kerry Doyle are teaching "Getting the Message Right". In this class we will explore Bible genres, how to observe & interpret texts of scripture, and recognize scripture's redemptive thrust. This class will give you a contextual overview of the nature, uniqueness, and power of teaching the Bible. Join us in Fellowship West (200) at 9:45am.
