Summer Baptism Celebration
We’re celebrating baptism outside this summer! If you haven’t been baptized since giving your life to Jesus, we encourage you to prayerfully consider doing so. Sign ups are open at efree.org/baptism.
We will be holding this celebration outside on our north patio, and invite members of our church family to attend to celebrate along with those being baptized. We’ll be having a First Free-style tailgate party – bring your food and your lawn chairs, get set up in the parking lot, and enjoy a time of fellowship before we worship together and then celebrate our brothers and sisters in Christ who are taking the plunge.

Our 2019 trip to Israel was amazing! We visited the Sea of Galilee, explored the ruins of Herod’s mountain palace in Masada, walked on the Mount of Olives, floated in the Dead Sea, and walked in the old city of Jerusalem where Jesus gave His life for us. Due to the incredibly high response from this trip and the number of people who wanted to go but could not this year, we’re considering another trip in the spring of 2020.If you are interested in joining us, please let us know at efree.org/israel.
