Announcements 

         We have the pleasure as a congregation to witness the sacrament of Baptism today. Everly Jean Bockelman (daughter of Benjamin and Brittany Bockelman) will receive this sign and seal of God’s saving grace. May God bless Everly with grace and faith to respond to this relationship that God has established with her by virtue of being born into a Christian family.

        Ladies Aid will meet on Thursday night at 7pm for a time of Bible study and fellowship.

Our Annual Church Picnic is TODAY. Please join us at the Newton Firefighters Park after worship (meal starts at 12 noon). The Young People are providing the meat and drinks for a suggested donation for their projects. If you are a visitor, please come as our guest. We ask everyone to bring a dish or dessert to share—if possible, individually packaged foods are preferred, but bring whatever you can. Thanks!
