On Communion Sundays there is no Junior Church. The older children are encouraged to remain in worship and share
Holy Communion with their church family. Be sure to pick up the worship resources on the back table for your child to work through.

MESSAGE Living for the Line, Not the Dot!
OUR RESPONSE TO ALL THAT GOD HAS BEEN, AND IS, DOING!
Talk with God, our Father, about your attitude toward Heaven and Earth –
Ask, “Where is my home and what am I living for? The dot, or the line? What might need to change?

*Affirmation of our Faith – The Apostles’ Creed (Projected)
I believe in God, the Father almighty
Maker of Heaven and Earth
And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
Born of the Virgin Mary
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, dead, and buried
He descended into hades
The third day he rose again from the dead
He ascended into Heaven
And sitteth on the right hand of God
the Father Almighty
From thence he shall come
to judge the quick and the dead
I believe in the Holy Spirit
The holy Christian Church
The communion of saints,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body,
And the life everlasting. Amen.
