Baptism Sunday
Sunday, August 17
Plan on attending this special service for those who have decided to publicly declare their faith in Jesus by participating in a water baptism. Food will be provided afterwards as we celebrate with friends and family.
And with him you were raised to new life because you trusted the mighty power of God, who raised Christ from the dead.

Outdoor Service/Potluck
Sunday, September 21
Please plan on joining us Sunday, September 21st at 10 AM for this FUN day! (Location: 625 Page Road, Aurora Oh 44202).
Pastor Terence will share a word as we soak in nature and all that God would have for us that day. After the message we will enjoy a Potluck style meal, and (weather permitting) plenty of play time. Bring your favorite family recipe dish that will serve 10-12, and dress for the weather.
Yard games are welcomed as well! More details will be announced in the coming weeks!
Sunday Family Services
Every 3rd Sunday in the Summer
On the 3rd Sunday of each month, our Rising Stars (Kids Ministries) will be joining the galaxy (Adults) in the main sanctuary for a Family Service.
We look forward to this opportunity to worship side by side as one church family—including our littlest ones. We pray this time will bless our congregation, deepen our sense of community, and help us grow together in faith as we lift our voices in worship.
young men and women, old men and children. Let them praise the name of the Lord...
Psalm 148:12–13
Prayer Requests
We would love the opportunity to pray for you and with you. If you have a prayer request, praise report, or a need - please let us know so we can personally and faithfully be praying for you.
Volunteer Opportunities
Church, we are GROWING! We are excited to welcome new faces and families, and we are excited to be utilizing our new Rising Stars area. We are so blessed!
We would love to see everyone plugged into serving in a way that they feel led and encouraged. We could not function without each and every one of our volunteers. If you're ready to jump in, but not sure what area suits you best, please fill out a Commitment Card located near the tithing box in the sanctuary, and someone will connect with you.
Immediate opportunities are:
• Morning Stars: Arriving early to get the coffee brewing, and greeting people as they arrive. Please see Jamie Strimple
• Security Team: Monitor the lobby area and kids area during service.
Summer is a challenging time with vacations and travel and we encourage anyone to help out as you can, serving one another, our church, and God's kingdom.
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
1 Peter 4:10-11
