Are you ready?
Pray to receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord or to recommit your life to Christ:
Dear Jesus, I admit to you that I am a sinner - and that I need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died for my sins and rose again defeating death and evil. Please forgive me. I want to turn from my sins and live in a way that is pleasing to You. I now invite You to come into my heart and my life. I want to trust and follow You as Savior and I want You to be the Lord of my life. Help me, Jesus, to live for You and to be prepared for the day You return. In Jesus’ name, Amen
“I Choose Jesus” cards are available in the back of the seats or in the pads in the bleachers
