Caleb Suko interviewed Velodia in our Makarovo, Ukraine sister church about the current ministry of the church in the area.

Baptism is the first thing every believer is commanded to do after coming to saving faith in Christ (Mat. 28:19-20; Acts 2:38). Baptism symbolizes the death, burial and resurrection of Christ (Rom. 6), the cleansing of sin and the believer's faith in what Christ did to save them. Sunday Nov. 25th was a day to witness ten people taking that step of obedience at Discovery. Each gave a short testimony of how they came to trust Christ as their savior before being immersed. Following the service they were greeted by the flock in a special reception.

GIVING THANKS

Giving thanks is said to be the highest form of worship. The Christian has every reason to be thankful in all things because of the incredible riches he has in Christ. When we have an attitude of thanksgiving it not only glorifies God, but, it also dispels depression, subdues anger, overcomes feelings of being offended and helps you deal with all kinds of problems. Anyone who has lived in a third world country knows we have more to be thankful for in America than we realize. Our Pilgrim fathers started with nothing when they arrived in 1620, then lost a good portion of their people yet gave thanks to God. Join us at Discovery for a time of thanksgiving in various ways this year (See calendar). Join our choir in being thankful by clicking on the play button of the short musical video below.
