for the week

O Lord, make us have perpetual love and reverence for your holy Name, for you never fail to help and govern those whom you have set upon the sure foundation of your loving-kindness; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Thanks for your great response in giving to the Children's Ministry floor covering project! We have raised $9,764 of the $15,000 goal. If you want to help with this special offering, please designate it on the offering envelope.

Every prospective Christ-follower should be baptized. Baptism is the public declaration of each believers identification with Jesus and with his church. If youve not been baptized yet, Sunday, July 14 will be a great opportunity to go for it! We will be baptizing in both services. Its easy to register for baptism-visit the foyer table, fill out a Connect Card and drop it in the offering, sign up online at WOLC.COM, or call the church office.
