DEKALB
NEXT BAPTISM CELEBRATION AUGUST 29 & 30
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.
CLASS DATES:
Saturday, August 8
Sunday, August 9

WORKPLACE PRAYER GUIDES
On any given day at work, we might experience a number of challenging situations — whether that's dealing with a difficult boss, getting overlooked for a promotion, or experiencing a sense of purposelessness in our work. That's why we've developed audio prayer guides that address a variety of situations, so that they can help you pray through the specific situation you're facing.
MIDDLE SCHOOL SUNDAY SERVICE
Middle School Students are invited to REMIX during the first Sunday service (9:10am) each week. We will gather for worship, Bible teaching, discussion, and fun games!
