JUNE 10, 2016
 
On  Sunday, June 19, the entire Salem family and scores of friends from the community will gather for one incredible outdoor worship service. We're calling it Church in the Park (see below) and one of the highlights of the service will be a great baptism celebration. This Sunday, Pastor John will talk about what the Bible says about baptism and why it really matters to you. We will also celebrate Holy Communion. See you Sunday. Bring a friend.
At 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, June 19, the entire church will gather for one incredible outdoor worship service,  which will feature joyful worship, a message from Pastor John and a baptism celebration. 
The Church in the Park service will be held in the park adjacent to the church. After the service, beginning at approximately noon, we will be having an all-church cookout in the parking lot.
 
Here are some important things you need to know:
 
BRING A LAWN CHAIR or a BLANKET!  We are in the park!
 
The church will provide some folding chairs for seating, especially for seniors or those with physical limitations. We will also have ample seating for the guests of those persons who will be baptized.
 
PLEASE COME EARLY FOR A GOOD SEAT. We will begin promptly at 10:30 a.m.
 
PARKING:
  • There will be no parking in our church lot, but there will be a drop-off zone for handicapped and seniors.

PRAY & REJOICE & BRING A NEIGHBOR:
  • This will be great time of WORSHIP and celebration and a great opportunity for hundreds in our community to see and hear and experience the love of a community of Christ followers.

Bring your child to the gym 15 minutes before the start of the service. All kids from infants to Grade 6 must be checked in. 

Homefront Weekly  is a resource designed to allow your family to have time in God's Word before your children attend church. Because God's plan is for parents to be the primary spiritual nurturers of their children's faith, we want you to be the one to introduce this part of The Big God Story to them.
JUMP is our monthly fellowship for Grades 5 & 6.
We meet September to June on the first Sunday of the month, 4:00-5:30pm, in the gym for fun, worship, and a devotional time. Our vision for Jump is to lay the groundwork for discipleship as kids advance into our student ministry programs.
