We are wired for connection through relationship. Relationship with God and with one another. By learning how to establish proper integration of God’s truth in every area of our life, as His daughters, we will walk in greater freedom and in return liberate others. As Ceitci shares some of her personal experiences intertwined with God’s word, we will learn how to walk courageously; we will discover the five primary needs we have and how to meet them; and we will experience Christ’s empowerment to live a fulfilled and purposeful life.
Mark your calendars now and join us for this great opportunity to go deeper and be a part of a time of ministry that could be life changing.

Baby Dedication
2019-01-27 10:30 - 12:00 | Maranatha Christian Center, 700 W. Front ST., De Kalb, Texas, 75559, United States
We believe God is a God of purpose.
The family was the first institution created by God between a man and a woman. Parent/Baby Dedication is when we give back to God what belongs to Him (1 Samuel 1:27-28).This ceremony is not a substitute for the child’s ultimate personal responsibility before God. In no way does this ceremony guarantee salvation or serve as a substitute for the personal need for children to accept Christ as Lord when they are aware enough to understand the gospel.
The Dedication Ceremony is a commitment by the parents or parent to train and teach their child principles, to trust in God, and be thankful for this blessing.

Rebuilding Your Temple | Keys to Experiencing a Breakthrough in Your Health with Cathy Morenzie

Have you struggled with your weight for years or even your entire life? You may have tried countless diets, bought the latest exercise equipment, yet, still have the bondage of being unhealthy. Why? For many of us the weight gain isn’t just a physical issue, it’s merely a physical manifestation of deeper spiritual and emotional issues that have been allowed to remain unchecked and often undetected. In this session Cathy Morenzie will teach you how to rebuild your temple and experience a BREAKTHROUGH in your health!
This event is free but we ask that you REGISTER HERE if you plan to attend.

2019 is almost here, and the path ahead is full of possibilities. Our churchwide fast is a great way to set our focus on the Lord as we begin the new year. We encourage you to ask the Lord what He may want you to fast for 21 days to fully dedicate time to praying, reading His Word, and listening to His direction for your life, your family, and our church. The 21 day fast will begin on January 6th and culminate on January 27th with a special Night of Worship and Freedom.
