We invite you to complete the Communication Card to the right and place it in one of the baskets located at each exit as you leave the Sanctuary. Members and regular attenders, you are also encouraged to use the Communication Card for information updates, prayer requests, and other responses you may have. Use QR Code to respond or to give online “Pray for one another…” (James 5.16) Do you desire prayer for yourself or others? Someone will be happy to pray for you or with you following worship. Come to the front of the Worship Center (near the organ) immediately after the service with your prayer requests. If you would prefer to have special prayer at another time or have a request placed on our Prayer List, please let us know through the Communication Card or by calling the church office. * Offering and Communication Card Return: Please place your offering and Communication Card in the basket at the exit.

Here are upcoming (and recent) messages: June 13 Beware of Despair June 20 Waiting on the Lord June 27 The Testing of Your Faith July 11 The Sacrifice of the Son Did you miss a message that interests you? Go to ancientcitybaptist.org and click on the “Sermons” menu tab to listen to the message or to watch the worship service. Our worship is also live streamed on our YouTube channel. Let Us Worship the Lord Together! Sunday, July 4, 2021 11:00 a.m. (Place Communication Card in basket at exit.) Independence Day Today, as a collective, we celebrate the birth of our nation and the cherished freedoms and memories for which we are most thankful. We will enjoy good food and fellowship as we gather together after service in honor of our beloved country. Yet, the Christian is reminded that his ultimate duty and citizenship lies with Christ and his kingdom. As the apostle Paul reminded the church at Galatia: “You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.” Our priceless freedom is a gift of God, used most beautifully in service to his perfect will.
