Never loose hope because as the night falls, a brand new day and a brand new way will begin and you never know what amazing things they can bring our way.

Thanks to everyone who came out last night from near and far to our first United Meeting, it was a beautiful night of music, praise and a wonderful service by Pastor Rupert Solomon.

We hope to welcome you back again soon.

During our Resurrection Sunday Program, we take this moment and really reflect on what the blessing of His resurrection means for us.

“Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die.”
St. John 11:25-26

“Now there was set a vessell full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished”: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost”
St. John 19:29-30

Jesus therefore died on Friday, April 3, AD 33 at about 3 p.m.

“Crucified”. Holy Friday message by Pastor Barry Gough. The true meaning of today.

Holy Communion was shared with prayers and blessings.

“While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”
Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you.”
Matthew 26:26-27

You are cordially invited to join us this Easter week ⛪️✝️☀️

“And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called ‘the place of skull’, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
Where they crucified him, and two others with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
And Pilate wrote a tittle, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS”.
St. John 19:17-19

Our Sunday School class learning the true meaning of Easter with crafts using their creativity.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
John 3:16

A beautiful Palm Sunday Service yesterday by our residing Pastor Barry Gough.

“Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord”
John 12:13

May you all have a blessed and joyful Palm Sunday! ⛪️🌿

When God is with us, no one can be against us!

If you’ve ever visited our little church or plan to visit in the future, there is a miniature church donation box. Your donations here help us make necessary improvements.

We recently completed much needed improvements and a new paint job to our Sunday School class rooms, posted is a before photo (green and red paint) and a few after photos of the new classroms painted in blues.

So, if you have donated to the little miniature church box, then you have helped in these works and wish you many of God’s blessings. The church makes up the difference that is needed to cover the full cost.

A big thank you to all the people who helped with other necessary works such as cleaning and organizing once the job was completed.

“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
Philippians 4:11–13

Our hearts were overwhelmed with joy this past Sunday when our faithfull visitor Davian Johnson accepted Jesus as his personal savior!

What a wonderful blessing for him and his proud Sunday School teacher and our sister in Christ Mrs. Rosina Thompson-Jones. We congratulate them both!

“That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame."
Romans 10:9-11

This past Sunday we had the pleasure of welcoming Mr. Herbert Roth Abbott from the USA. He is a descendant of one of our founding members and distant cousin to many members.

It is always a special day when family visits!

“I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought.”
1 Corinthians 1:10

Though road maintenance is taking place in Oak Ridge Point, we are happy to inform that the road to the church continues to be accesible by car.
