A Prayer for Dedication
Almighty God, so draw our hearts to you

so guide our minds, so fill our imaginations,

so control our wills, that we may be wholly yours.

And then use us, we pray, as you will,

and always to the glory and welfare of your people, 

through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Our church is handicapped accessible. We have parking available in front of the church (enter using the ramp in the front of the sanctuary), the side parking lot (enter through the lobby of the McWhorter Activity Center or the front office entrance) and the rear parking lot (enter throught the door under the portico).

*Members, thank you for leaving the handicap parking spaces available for our members and visitors with special needs. *We also have several wheel chairs available. A motorized wheelchair is located in the Pathfinders/JOY classroom and three standard wheelchairs in the front stairway area. Also, if you are able to use the stairs, please do so instead of using the elevator--this saves wear and tear on the elevator and makes it available for those who truly need its service.
