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.
Coffee & Connection Time is what we call the ten-minute break during our gathering. This gives adults a chance to refill their coffee while kids get to their classrooms.
Kids @ the Ridge is our nursery to Grade 4 program where kids learn about God, hear from God and respond to God. Classes start when children are dismissed from the main gathering at Coffee & Connection Time. To find out more or to register your child, please visit the check-in table at the Welcome Centre. 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'd love for you to take 30 seconds and fill out a Connection Card online at jerichoridge.com/connect. This will help us respond to any questions you might have. We won't bother you with unwanted phone calls or e-mails. We promise. You might also want to visit our website, jerichoridge.com, like our Facebook page facebook.com/jerichoridge, follow us on Twitter @jerichoridge or download our app from the iTunes or Google Play stores. Thanks for joining us! We hope to see you again soon.
