January 12, 2020
On Sunday, January 12, we celebrate Baptism
Sunday. During the service, there will be a chance
for all of us to renew our baptisms by dipping our
hands in the water and hearing God's promise to us
once more. Everyone is invited to come forward,
whether you have been baptized or not, because it
is also an opportunity for us as people of faith
to re-commit ourselves to Christ as we begin the
new year. Come and join us for this very special
Sunday, and remember the moment you were washed
clean and renewed as a person of faith.
January 26, 2020
On Sunday, January 26, we celebrate Laity
Sunday. This is a “great opportunity to help
everyone explore and recognize the many types of
ministry that members of the congregation have
been uniquely gifted to accomplish.”
During the service, some of our members will be
giving testimonies about their faith. They will
share with us their faith journeys and who God is
for them as people of faith. We are celebrating
Laity Sunday because “The Christian Church
(Disciples of Christ) are a people built upon
laity and clergy working together in service to
Christ. Laity Sunday is a special time to reflect
upon, promote, and celebrate the many roles served
by [our] congregation’s lay ministers, both inside
and outside [our] church walls.”
(www.disciples.org)
As we continue to live out our mission of
WELCOME, this Sunday gives us an opportunity for
all of the ministers of Midway Christian Church to
engage in their roles as leaders of this church
