HEALING PRAYER TIME: As a part of our July prayer and fasting, this Wednesday is our time of prayer for healing. It is led by our elders and will have the option of being anointed with oil according to James 5:14. You will have the opportunity to share your request with elders and a small group of people who will pray for you. It is a quiet, reflective, and encouraging time for you to ask for prayer for yourself or anyone else. It starts at 6:30pm with a time of worship, and will finish by 7:45pm, in time for the Town Hall meeting.
BAPTISM: Sunday, Aug. 7 will be a great opportunity to take the next step of faith – baptism. First, we’ll worship together at Hillside at 10:00am, either live inside the worship center, or live-stream on the lawn (don’t forget to bring a lawn chair or blanket). After the service everyone is invited to Bush Lake. We will begin at 11:45am, shelter #3 where we’ll hear faith stories from those being baptized – then we’ll walk down to the beach. Finally, we’ll go back to shelter #3 and the shaded grounds surrounding it to enjoy picnic lunches (bring your own). There is a playground and volleyball area, and plenty of shaded grassy places. It will be a wonderful way to spend a summer Sunday afternoon! If you’re interested in being baptized indicate your interest on a Connect Card (QR code on inside page of this bulletin).
