WORSHIP SIGN-UP
Click HERE to sign up for Sunday Services, November 22, 2020 at 9:00am (Contemporary) or 11:00am (Traditional).

Seats are given on a first come, first served basis rather than by reservation. Your RSVP online helps expedite the in-person sign-in process (due to required COVID procedures) and helps us prepare for an approximate number of worshipers each Sunday. Thank you for understanding.

Please feel free to bring a bottled water or coffee to Worship as we are unable to serve it at this time.
Current Sermon Series:
One of the most powerful blessings of Christ is given to you: the ability to let go! During this four-week sermon series in November, we will explore the promise and power from practicing a basic act of Christian living: Forgiveness. Join us as we discover God’s Fidelity, Forgiveness, Freedom, and Future, as we learn again to find peace through letting go.

If you missed this week's message, catch up at www.perdidobay.church/podcast or by visiting our Facebook/Youtube page.
