CELEBRATING FELLOWSHIP TOGETHER Because of special events and activities this summer, our schedule for worship has been adjusted from our regular plan of serving Communion on the fourth Sunday of the month. We will remember the Lord through participating in Communion in our worship services on July 4, August 1, and August 29.

BAPTISM... When Jesus commissioned His disciples to carry on the work He began, He called them to make more disciples who would follow Him. They were to be identified in a particular way - through baptism. The practice of baptism has been a rite by which followers publicly declare their decision to follow Jesus, and unite with others in the community of believers, since the first preaching of the gospel. If you would like to learn more about baptism, or are interested in being baptized, please contact Pastor Steve (Steve Hardy ~ at ~ damascuscc ~ dot ~ org).
