Prayer Meetings
Rejoice in the Lord always
Please join to pray for the advance of the gospel among us and through us, to the glory of God.
Each term we have a church-wide prayer meetings to bring our praise and requests to God.
Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Baptism & Membership
From time-to-time we have seminars explaining what is involved in baptism and becoming a member of the church.
