Jesus instructed us to be baptized. Baptism is an act of obedience and it demonstrates submission to God. We immerse because we believe Scripture shows that Jesus modeled that for us as the way to publicly acknowledge our faith in Him.

Wednesday, July 28 // 5:30 – 8pm

The details:

What: Cooperative project between members of the Lents community, parents, students, alumni, local houses of worship, and Love Serves, the local missions team for Willamette Christian Church

Cumpston House Cleanup! from Willamette Christian Church on Vimeo.

We want to invite you all out to the Cumpston house cleanup on June 5 & 6, starting at 8:30am each day.

The Cumpston family has lived in Africa for the past 2 years, working with an international school and helping people get clean water.

In August of 2009, Jeff was tragically killed while riding his bicycle. The family is coming home in June without their beloved Jeff. Their house has needed repairs for a while, and the family planned to work on it when they returned home. Without Jeff this is a daunting task for the family.

$5200 has been raised to fix the house, but now we need helpers!

There are no special skills needed! Just a willingness to work. If you can help, just email Kim Williams and she will get you all the details. Thanks for your willingness to serve!
