See you in church. Bring a friend.

Looking ahead . . .

Used as a play on words — the year and “perfect” eyesight — worship will focus on three areas of vision.

B ecause God is with you all the time,
no place is any closer to God
than the place where you are right now.

The peace of Christ be with you—
—and also with you.
Passing the peace is a deeply theological practice of reconciliation not replicated in secular culture. We greet each other in Christ, laying aside our differences — at least for the hour.

‘Time with the children’
Our 10 a.m. services normally include
this segment focused on young worshipers.

Never underestimate the power of prayer

No problem you might have
is too big for God to handle.

Swift Church offers children’s church (grades K–4) during the 10:00 service after “Time with the children.” It normally is offered each Sunday except for communion Sundays.
