April 6th- Baptism Sunday
Come and celebrate! Teens will be baptized during 2nd service (9:30), kids during 3rd service (11:00), and the adults in whatever service they attend.

Baptism Sunday is April 6th!

If you have been considering getting baptized, we have a great opportunity for you. Sunday, April 6th, during the worship services we will be baptizing those who are interested. Our plan is to have the teens be baptized during the 2nd service (9:30) and the kids be baptized (11:00) and the adults be baptized in the service they attend.
Baptism is an important step in the life of a believer. It is an "outward sign of an inward grace"- you are letting everyone know that you have "died to sin" and are now "alive in Christ." It is a great celebration of the Church- as we rejoice that your new life has begun! The only requirement to being baptized is that you are a believer in Jesus Christ as your Savior.
If you are interested in more information or if you would like to sign up, please contact any of the pastors. Some suggestions for those being baptized: bring a towel and a change of clothes. Wear clothes that would not be see through when wet. Invite your family and friends.

What's Going on in the Kids Ministry

by Pastor Brian
Thanks to everyone who helped us have a great Easter Egg Hunt! The individual pictures from the hunt will be available this Sunday. If you would like to order extra pictures, contact Diane Hanna. The hunt pictures will available online as soon as I can get them all gathered. If you took some pictures, email them to me so I can include them.

This week in Big City is Camp Week. Dress up like you are going to camp! We're going to have some fun celebrating camp. Reminder: your early bird deadline for camp registration is April 1st! You can save lots of money by registering early (requires a $50 deposit). If you don't think you can afford to send your child or teen to camp, please let us know. There are some options! But we need to know before April 1st!
This Sunday is also the deadline to sign up for the Club57 Foundations in Faith class. This 12 week class is for 5th to 7th graders and will be offered from 9:30 to 10:30 on Sunday mornings. Gary Seaney and I will be teaching the class. Help your kids through this important transition in their life by involving them in Club57. Sign up by contacting Wendy or myself.
One last reminder- it is not too late to sign up for the baptism service next Sunday!
