Children, Youth & Adults Sanctuary

WE ARE GLAD YOU’RE HERE! Please let us know how we may serve you. (See church and leadership contact information on the back page.)

ENTER HIS GATES WITH PRAISE: As you come into the sanctuary, you are encouraged to enter in an attitude of worship. Please help us all to focus on the Lord by joining in songs of praise and worship and waiting to connect with people in fellowship following worship.

CHILDREN ARE WELCOME in worship with their family. We believe that God has called us to strengthen families which are often separated and torn apart in society. One way for families to experience unity is by worshiping together. We want to help parents fulfill the responsibility God has given them for helping their children know and love Jesus (Ephesians 6:4). In addition, we offer opportunities that are specifically aimed at helping children and youth cherish Christ as Lord and trust and follow Jesus in daily life.

IF YOU NEED to take your child out of the Sanctuary, we offer a video monitor in the Fellowship Hall and in the Nursery for your convenience. We also have a team of loving volunteers who are willing to help care for little ones (age 3 and under) if needed.

MISSION FOCUS: The Columbus Dream Center (formerly Better Way Ministries) was founded by Steve and Wanda Campbell and seeks to provide hope to low-income, homeless and under-served individuals and families in Columbus. The Dream Center offers medical help, meals, a pantry and discipleship through its staff and volunteers.

MEET OUR MISSIONARIES: The Lord willing, Stephen and Rachel Katterhenrich will be with us next Sunday, November 13. You are invited to the Chapel at 9:30 AM to hear from them what God is doing in the area of Bible translation for the peoples of Tanzania.

OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD: You can bless a needy child somewhere in the world by filling a shoebox with gifts in partnership with Samaritan’s Purse. Collection Sunday is November 20, 2016.

ANGEL TREE: Prison Fellowship ministers to those who are incarcerated and their families. Through the Angel Tree project, Christmas gifts are provided to children of incarcerated parents on behalf of their loved one. If you would like to take part in this outreach, please note the Response Form.

PRAYING TOGETHER: You are encouraged to join with others on Saturday mornings (8:00 – 9:00 AM) in the sanctuary to seek the Lord in prayer and to intercede for the church and the world.

TRAINING HEARTS, TEACHING MINDS: Question #80: What does the tenth commandment require? Answer: The tenth commandment requires us to be completely satisfied with our own status in life and to have a proper, loving attitude toward others and their possessions. (The Westminster Shorter Catechism in Modern English)
