DEKALB
MARCH 21 & 22 BAPTISM SERVICE
Baptism is a celebration. It is an opportunity to follow Jesus’ example and teaching by publicly proclaiming our identification with him. By being baptized, we announce that Jesus has washed away our sin and has given us new life.
Prior to baptism, participants must attend a one-hour class designed to share the biblical and practical purposes of baptism, to help you discover if baptism is the right step for you.
Classes:
● Saturday, February 28, at 6:30pm
● Sunday, March 1, at 11:10am
● Wednesday, March 4, at 6:30pm

MOVE FROM SMALL TALK TO SACRED CONVERSATIONS
For most of us, sharing our faith at work is challenging. How do you get to a point at which you’re able to talk about your faith with a coworker? During this workshop, we’re going to give you practical tools for thinking about how the gospel speaks in a compelling way to the people you work with.

FEB 22 MONTHLY PRAYER GATHERING
Where have you been hoping for a breakthrough? Health issue, wayward child, stubborn addiction, struggling marriage?
BreakTHRU prayer gatherings are all-campus events at the St. Charles/South Elgin Campus on the last Sunday evening (6-8pm) of each month. These BreakTHRU prayer gatherings are unlike anything we’ve ever planned here at Christ Community. The time is divided into four 30-minute segments. The first and last half-hour are optional. The Auditorium will be open for personal prayer and worship. Sit, kneel, or pace the rows on your own as you pray. The pastors and elders of our six campuses will also be available to pray FOR you. But the middle hour–6:30-7:30–is the core of the evening. There will be a 30-minute training on a specific breakthrough topic, followed by 30 minutes of focused, small-group prayer on that topic. No registration required!
Some of the topics we'll be covering over coming months include: How to pray for our children, how to pray for healing, why prayers go unanswered, what to pray for our country/government, and how to combat evil forces as we pray.
