The following schedule explains the monthly sign-up deadline, baptism class, and baptism service.
01 SUN
Deadline for Signup
Second Sunday
Deadline for Signup (in a current month) - Second Sunday. This means after the second Sunday of the current month, any sign-ups, starting the second Monday following the second Sunday will be pushed to the following month's roster. This will give Pastors Steven and Taylor ample time to reach out to anyone who has signed up in the last two weeks of the previous month and the first two weeks of the current month to schedule them to attend the baptismal class and answer any questions they may have.
02 6 PM
Baptism Class Schedule
Third Sunday Evening
Baptism Class Schedule (in a current month) - Third Sunday Evening. Pastors Taylor and Steven are getting ready to work together with other leaders to help facilitate our Go & Grow Kingdom Life Groups (life/discipleship groups) on Sunday evenings at 6PM. In tandem with this they will be meeting on the third Sunday evening of each month with baptism candidates to let go over the basics of The Faith and what Baptism Sunday will consist of.
In addition, this will be used as an opportunity to get baptism candidates plugged in at His Place.
03 SUN
Baptism Sunday
Last Sunday Morning
Baptism Sunday (in a current month) - Last Sunday of the month morning service. Assuming there are only four Sundays in a given month, and no conflicts with major holidays, the general template or format will be to always designate that those who attended the previous baptismal class will be the candidates for the subsequent Sunday baptism service. If there are major holidays that conflict, we may consider postponing (e.g. Christmas, New Years Eve, etc).
If there are five Sundays in a month, we will keep the format the same and the 5th Sunday fall as a normal Sunday service.
