WELCOME TO UNITY CHURCH!
The Lord is good and his love endures forever. He is faithful from generation to generation. Today we are reminded of God’s gracious promises to us. As part of our worship, we celebrate the baptism of Trey Fisher, as he receives the sign and seal of the blessing grace of God in entering into the covenant community.
Baptism: This morning we celebrate God’s grace and love being extended to Trey Jeffery Fisher and the entire Fisher family through the sign and seal of baptism. May this be a time of good news of great joy!

Fragrant Offerings at Church
Please be considerate when coming to worship on Sundays by not using any fragrances. We need you to do this so that we can minister to all people without forcing away those who have allergies. We do not want to alienate people from the gospel over smelling good. Instead, let your “fragrant offerings” be the life you live and the gifts you use. Thank you for following our policy.
Wycliffe Bible Translation Banquet
You are invited to attend the Wycliffe Banquet which will be Friday, April 27. For free tickets please contact Lois Cook. More details coming.

Most of all, your continued prayers and support are coveted as we prepare to return to the Gulf. If you have any questions or can help in any way, please contact: Duane Bonnema.
