Are you new here? Thanks for joining us for our church gathering! Here are a few hints to help you through the morning...
We take our coffee seriously. That’s why we’ve got ethically sourced and fairly traded coffee available. Help yourself to it at any time. Our treat.
Family Ties. Coffee & Connection Time is what we call the 10-minute break during our gathering. This gives adults a chance to refill their coffee while kids get to their classrooms. Parents can take their baby (24 months and younger) to the nursery at any time.
Kids at the Ridge is the name of our program for children who are age 2 to grade 5. Find out more by visiting the check-in table at the Welcome Centre.
Guatemala 2014 Application Deadline We’re planning our seventh trip to Guatemala during the week of March 15-22. The purpose of our trip is to share our love of Jesus through action – specifically to orphans, widows, the physically challenged, and the poor. If you’re interested in joining the team, please complete a Guatemala missions application (available online and also at the Welcome Centre) by Oct 15.
Communion Sunday Want someone to pray with you? We’ll have people who can pray with you available at the end of our gathering. You can tell them as much or as little as you’d like. They won’t be nosy and they’ll keep it to themselves.
“We aspire to be a loving and listening people, extending God’s hope and reconciliation to our community in all of life, all of the time” We’d love for you to fill out a Welcome Card at the Welcome Centre. This will help us respond to any questions you might have. We won’t bother you with unwanted phone calls or spam mail. We promise. You might also want to visit our website, jerichoridge.com, become a fan of our Facebook page, or follow us on Twitter, @jerichoridge. Thanks for joining us! We hope to see you again soon.
