Marbury Church of God
Wednesday, March 30th, 2005| Welcome Home | |
Always one more place at the table!
God has been calling people to come home to Him for thousands of years. He sent His Son Jesus, Savior and Lord, to be the “firstborn among many” brothers and sisters in this family. We emphasize family and friends in this local congregation, always understanding that whenever God adopts someone through the redemption offered in Christ, we have an obligation to welcome them as our own.

Extending Truth and Love from Generation to Generation
The Marbury Church of God will celebrate our 95th birthday as a local congregation in 2006. The church has served as spiritual home to generations, and we celebrate the gifts and talents of all ages. From the seniors class to the nursery, and everywhere between, young and old alike participate in the ongoing gospel ministry of the church. We offer Sunday school, nursery services, children’s church, children and adult choirs, youth activities and special events for all ages. Welcome!

The Ministry of Table Fellowship
One of the best traditions of this congregation is that of hosting “carry-in” dinners from time to time. These happen around holidays, in support of grieving families at the time of a funeral, and once in a while for no good reason at all. Watch for announcements of these special events.
Jesus spent a lot of time eating with different people, and it seems to us that this example is not so hard to follow! Pull up a chair among us when you can, and be a part of the family.
| The Word Is Central | |
Preach the Gospel. Use words when necessary.
Through worship, song, reading and preaching, through classes and activities, in small groups, women’s groups, prayer emphasis, youth, and participation in interchurch activities, we hold up the Scripture as a light for our path.
We recognize that each of us has much to learn, and are thankful that God has provided a way to make us “wise unto salvation.” Jesus is the Living Word, but under His authority the written Word is also life-giving. So we constantly strive to learn and teach one another from the Scriptures, and to open this Word to our children and to everyone we can, not only by learning but by living, as well as we can, in obedience to what God teaches us.
