Important Info:
Heritage Move - The day has arrived - we have, by God’s Goodness and Grace towards our church, outgrown Pathways Middle School. But, by God’s Providence, we have been able to secure space with Heritage Middle School, just down the road. Heritage is located on the Northeast corner at the intersection of McMillan Road and Meridian Road. Our plan, Lord willing, is to move into Heritage on November 6th, the first Sunday of November. We are working to order all of the necessary equipment and materials for the setup at Heritage. What we need are more servants to help execute everything going on at Heritage, from increased Kids Ministry leaders to a more robust setup & teardown team. If anyone in your Life Group is looking for a place to serve, this is an excellent time for them to begin serving, whether it be with Kids Min, Facilities, Tech, or any of our other Weekend Service Teams. We will be hosting a ministry fair soon (late September/early October - keep your eyes peeled). And be praying that God would let us use this facility well to grow His Kingdom and for His Glory, just as He so graciously has here at Pathways. Let’s Go!
Baptisms This Weekend - Don’t forget that this weekend we have our next set of Baptisms. Join us as we celebrate God’s work of salvation in the lives of our brothers & sisters as they make their public confession of faith!
