We return to a part of our heritage as Methodists, the Campmeeting. It will be a time to sing the old hymns, enjoy the upbeat worship and hear the Gospel preached that will help those who are lost and wandering in our community.
Sermon on August 18: LOST Son – Luke 15:11-24
This parable is second only to the Good Samaritan in familiarity. It is because at one time or another we have all been there. People get lost as well. Most of the time it is our own choice. What happens when we are lost? How do we get home? Let’s see this Sunday.
“For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to celebrate.” Luke 15:24
August 25th at all 3 Services (8:15, 9:30 & 11:00 am)
September 1st at 9:30 am Service
Please join us for worship on this special Sunday. Children are encouraged to bring their school backpacks to be blessed during the services.
A special token will be given to each child to take with them to school every day to remind them that they are blessed.
We will have breakfast snacks provided during the 8:15 and 9:30 worship services, with a full blown, “old fashioned” Methodist pot luck after the 11:00 service.
Our ministry areas and cluster leads will be on hand to answer questions and greet our guests.
It is our hope you will join us, with a friend, to make a difference on Back To Church Sunday on September 8th!
Come and invite a friend for a spectacular day of food, fellowship, new faces and ministry opportunities!
