Welcome to Church!
We are overjoyed to have you with us today. Whether this is your first visit or you’ve been with us for years, we are excited to share this special time with you.
This weekend, we continue our journey through the Book of Acts. In this passage, we witness the city of Ephesus in an uproar as Paul’s ministry begins to challenge the cultural norms and values. It's striking how much conflict can arise when the Gospel disrupts the status quo. But that’s the power of Gospel transformation - when lives are changed by Christ, it has the potential to reshape not only individuals but entire cities.
Our worship services are a cornerstone of our discipleship and our identity as members of the Global Methodist Church. We believe that God invites us into three essential practices:
Worship Passionately: Our worship transcends the songs we sing and becomes the way we live for His glory.
Love Extravagantly: We are called to emulate Jesus’ boundless, sacrificial love.
Witness Boldly: God empowers us to share the incredible things He is doing in and through us.
Living out these practices is central to our calling as His Church.
Thank you for being a part of our family today. My prayer is that our time together will draw us closer to Jesus and inspire us to reflect deeply on His presence in our lives. If you have any questions or wish to discuss your faith, please feel free to reach out. You can contact me directly at 410-639-2144 or email me at the address below.
All for Him!

Benediction
Life is much more than an accident. Wherever I go, I believe God needs me there. Wherever I am, I trust God has put me there. He has a purpose for me being there -
Christ, alive in me, wants to do something through me, no matter where I am.
I believe this and go in His grace and His love and His power.
If you would like someone to pray with you, please come and meet one of our ministry leaders at the end of the service.
