After you drop off your kiddo(s), come hang out in the Family Room from 6:30-7:45PM – it is a convenient way to connect with other parents without adding to your busy schedule. No registration is necessary – just show up when you can!

Child Dedication Class
A child is a God-given trust (Psalm 127:3) and Child Dedication is a ceremony that signifies a parent’s commitment and pledge to uphold that trust by raising their child in a Christian home and church where he or she can come to know, love and serve Jesus.
It also signifies a commitment by the people of Pathways Church to provide a loving, biblical community that supports and prays for your family.
To help prepare families for this commitment, parents are required to attend a child dedication class.
In this class, you will learn:
what the Bible says about child dedication
the difference between child dedication and infant baptism
and how the church will come alongside to support your parenting journey.
Please complete the registration form below and indicate the class date you prefer:
Sunday, March 9 during the 10AM service

We look forward to our next child dedication, scheduled for May 11!

Lent Service
Join us for a special Lent Service!
Lent is a 40 day period that leads up to Easter.
It gives us a great opportunity to carve out some time to cultivate our souls so that Easter takes on a different depth of meaning for us through the work that God has been doing in us.
Check out this book - “40 Days of Decrease by Dr. Alicia Britt Chole."
Each day has a short devotional and a passage of scripture for you and invites you to give up something for the day.
It's not just giving up things like designer coffee or your time on social media. It's mostly areas that are heart fast — like apathy, unforgiveness, resentment or comparing ourselves to others.
If we decrease in these areas, we can increase our connection with Christ!
During these next six weeks leading up to Easter, we're going to be walking through some issues of our heart that need to decrease and downshift so that Christ can increase in our lives!
So to prepare for the next week,
1) pop this book in your shopping cart
2) come to our special Lent Service on March 5 at 6:30PM
3) and get ready to begin our new series “Downshift” which will begin on Sunday, March 9 at our regular 8:30 and 10AM services!
Watch this special invitation from Gary by clicking the image below!

Christmas Eve at Pathways Church
Signs. There are signs all around us, we live in a world of noise from signs along the highway promoting a business or service, to a street sign telling you which direction to go. During the Christmas season, we have to filter out even more noise from the signs around us telling us to buy this or that, find a tree lot here, or where to take a picture with Santa. Let's stop for a moment and ponder the question, "What are you looking for?" Do you know what signs God is sending you and what they mean?
Join us at Pathways Church at either 12PM, 2PM or 4PM as we worship the birth of our Savior and see what signs we should be looking out for moving forward.

About Samaritan’s Purse
The story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-37) gives a clear picture of God’s desire for us to help those in desperate need wherever we find them. After describing how the Samaritan rescued a hurting man whom others had passed by, Jesus told His hearers, “Go and do likewise.” For over 40 years, Samaritan’s Purse has done our utmost to follow Christ’s command by going to the aid of the world’s poor, sick, and suffering. We are an effective means of reaching hurting people in countries around the world with food, medicine, and other assistance in the Name of Jesus Christ. This, in turn, earns us a hearing for the Gospel, the Good News of eternal life through Jesus Christ.

Candy; toothpaste; gum; used or damaged items; scary or war-related items such as toy guns, knives, or military figures; chocolate or food; seeds; fruit rolls or other fruit snacks; drink mixes (powdered or liquid); liquids or lotions; medications or vitamins; breakable items such as snow globes or glass containers; aerosol cans.
