Mission Sunday

1867-2017 One Hundred and fifty years, we are continuing to build upon the foundation of the Vision for love and devotion to one Lord,

one faith and one baptism.

Many Hearts, One Purpose

Ephesians 3:20-21 “ Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think,

according to the power that works in us,

To Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever.”

Make an effort to present your tithes faithfully and participate in our on-going Building Fund Pledges. The loan on our church depends on this. Signup and information on the Building Fund pledges may be obtained in the Finance Office. We welcome our new members and encourage your participation in one or more of our ministries. Meeting schedules may be found in the Meeting/Events Section of your bulletin. New Member classes will be held on the 2nd floor during the Sunday School hour. If this is not a convenient time for you, please schedule to have classes thru the week with Minister Hazel Harrod.

Seed Sunday Program

The “SEED SUNDAY” program is to reduce our mortgage debt. We want to take the limit

off $10.00 and allow you to give your best seed. Sow with the right mindset and sow

whatever you can afford to give.

Capital Campaign

“The "Seed Program Family Edition" was implemented to reduce the church mortgage. The

program consists of different families contributing a total of $1,500 for one year.

Also, please remember your 150th Church Anniversary Pledge.

Nursery The Nursery is open for infants to 4 years old during the Morning Worship Services. We are located in the Atrium. For assistance, please ask our Ushers.
