Colgate Baptist Church

05/24/2026

Thankful for another week of gathering together with the saints of Colgate. The Church is not a building, and we are still adhering to our usual order of worship! Our ecclesiology doesn’t change just because our location changes. After service, we had a cookout and enjoyed time together in fellowship. We are so grateful for how the Lord has blessed our congregation!

Today’s Order of Worship:

Confessional Prayer

Call to Worship: Responsive Reading of Psalm 111:1-3

Great is Thy Faithfulness

Scripture Reading: Joel 2:21-23

The Old Rugged Cross

Offertory/Civil Magistrate Prayer

Psalm Reading: Psalm 2

Psalm 2 in Song

Sermon Acts 1:15-26

Be Thou My Vision

Benediction: 2 Corinthians 13:14

Please reach out to us if you’d like to join us for worship, we’d love to have you! We are currently meeting at the McDavid home, but next month we will begin meeting in other members’ homes as well, so be sure to contact us for the address if you’d like to attend! Next week, we will also be recognizing and honoring our 2 high school graduates, Zachary and Zoe Ard.

As a congregation, Colgate Baptist Church has made the decision to leave our building. For many years, our congregation has not been large enough to use and sustain the entirety of our building. As wise stewards of what the Lord has blessed us with, we have made the decision to relocate.

Of course, we know that the church is not made up of a building, but it is made up of God's people. We are grateful for our small, tight-knit congregation, and we have no plans to discontinue ministry! We are still around and we will still be loving and serving our community.

For now, we will be putting a temporary pause on our food pantry ministry, as we work through the process of selling our building. Our plan is to open this ministry back up by the end of the year, serving our community as a mobile food pantry. Stay tuned for announcements in the coming months.

For now, we are meeting as a house church, and we would love for you to join us! Please send us a message if you'd like the address for our meeting location.

God has blessed our time here on the corner of East Montgomery and South Clark, but we are moving in to a new season of our life as a church, and we are grateful that the Lord is still working in and through us.

As we sang last week,

"This is my Father's world,
why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King; let the heavens ring.
God reigns, let earth be glad!"

The Lord has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.
Psalm 103:19

“As a Christian, this world will wrong you. As a brother and sister in Christ, your brothers and sisters, your pastors, and those around you who are supposed to protect you will wrong you. I’m not saying it’s right for you to have to take a slap and then offer the other cheek. But Jesus did it. I’m not saying it’s easy, I’m not saying you get ahead in life, because trust me, you don’t. But God is sufficient. He’s been there. The God Man himself would have been right to judge wicked sinners on the cross, but instead he chose to be wronged. We follow a Man who willingly chose to be wronged for the benefit of those wronging him.”

1 Corinthians 6:1-8

As a reminder, our food pantry will be open this Monday, April 27, from 10-12. We also have a limited selection of clothing and hygiene items available for you to take as needed. Please come out and see us if we can help you meet these needs. We love our community, and it is truly our joy to serve you!
