Baptism sunday - august 23
Have you ever been to an event where the Holy Spirit was making His presence known?
Have you wanted to volunteer for something at Vineyard Westside, but were unsure of a regular commitment?
We have a perfect opportunity for you! We will need help with: set-up/tear-down, food (grilling/drinks/chips), security (keeping everyone safe and organized), tech/music (carry/move stuff CAREFULLY), baptism flow (direct people to changing area). We are hoping for at least 23 people to help out.
Matthew 23 says "The greatest among you shall be your servant." And Psalm 23 says "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever." Save the date to be baptized, celebrate and welcome in new brothers and sisters in Christ, share in food and fellowship. Sign up at the Connections desk to be baptized or volunteer. Contact Craig at 513-972-9136
