Welcome to Bookcliff Baptist Church! Regardless of your religious background, we invite you to worship with us, to celebrate, and to participate fully. This morning as this is the first Sunday of the month we will come together at the end of the service to celebrate communion (The Lord’s Supper). This is done to remember Christ’s life, death, and resurrection. This is the message of the Gospel, the restoration of the relationship that was broken through sin in Genesis 3:15. If you are a born again believer, we invite you to join us during this part of worship. If you are not a believer, we are thrilled you have chosen to come today. Please, do not feel pressured, just allow the plates to pass by you. If you have questions, I or any of our pastors would be more than willing to talk to you at the back if you desire.
Likewise, we will be taking two offerings this morning, if you are a guest please do not feel pressured to give to those. One is our regular offering to the Lord and the second is our special offering that goes along with our time of communion to support those in our family and community who are in need.
It is my joy to have everyone with us this morning,
- Pastor Chad Moore
