Join us for Sunday worship 8/5at 386 Delaware Avenue inDelmar. The Delmar ReformedChurch will be hosting theFOCUS congregations at the9:30 am service.
Why do we worship together?
We celebrate, as the FOCUSChurches, our common calling tobe Gods servant people in abroken and hurting world.
We honor the uniqueness of our member congregations with theirdiversity of gifts, separate histories, and God-given resources.
We acknowledge that we need to learn from one another, to be enriched
by one anothers vision of Christian faithfulness, and to join in those
areas of Christian mission where we can work more effectively together
than by ourselves (from the 1968 covenant statement).
