Family of God Celebration

Thank you to all the helpers this past Sunday making it a wonderful celebration. We are delighted to say we had 4 children dedicated by their parents to the Lord, 8 adults baptized and 19 new members added to our church body. What a wonderful day of commitments unto the Lord. We believe these sacrifices are most honoring to the Lord. Sunday, July 27th four families submitted their children to God, sacrificing their desires for God’s will in their children’s lives. Eight people put their lives in the grave of the waters of baptism showing their full commitment to Jesus Christ and nineteen people sacrificed their individualism to become members of the body of Christ and to serve the King and Kingdom before themselves. A tremendous day of commitment to our Lord Jesus Christ. May God bless all those who participated.
