March On towards Easter!

Lent4I pray God is working in you in powerful and personal ways during this season of Lent.  Let’s look forward to what God is doing in our midst during the month of March in Laurel Hill’s newsletter and  Calendar.

We have a special season of Sunday Evening Bible Study times together beginning March 11th at 3PM, starting at the parsonage.  I invite you to come join us as we watch the film, “Is Genesis History?”  We’ll take a fascinating new look at the biblical, historical, and scientific evidence for Creation and the Flood.  Come join us as we study together.

Let Norman know if you would like to order a student book.Is Genesis History

Baptismal Service Following Sunday Service

baptism 5This coming Sunday, July 30th, you’re invited to share in the baptismal service for Lily Walton, Henry Horne, and Tripp Walton following our 11:00 AM service.  We will process from Laurel Hill to Varina on the James where each confirmand will confess their faith in Jesus Christ and enter into this new relationship with Christ in baptism.

Dying to themselves, they will rise in newness of life to serve the Lord. You are asked to come and renew your commitment of faith and pledge your faith and help to those newly baptized.

We’ll see you Sunday at Laurel Hill then drive down Varina Road to Varina on the James for our service.
