Indoors Water Baptism
Baptism is an important part of the Christian walk and an important moment in the life of the church. We still plan to have our annual Water Baptism at Lake Michigan in August. But this is an opportunity to be baptized indoors. If you’d prefer to be baptized indoors during our church service please contact Pastor Phil.
What is Baptism?
Here are Pastor Tommy’s latest sermons on Baptism!
The following blogs will give more insight into Mercy Hill Church's position on water baptism.

Tenebrae, Good Friday - Bay View (Copy)
Experience the profound solemnity of the Tenebrae service as we journey through the narrative of Christ's Passion. Witness the gradual extinguishing of seven candles, each marking a significant moment in the scriptures foretelling His sacrifice. With each passage, a candle fades, accompanied by a song, and a sacred pause for reflection. The service will culminate in a moment of profound silence, evoking a deep longing for the promise of resurrection.
Childcare will be provided for Age 0 - K5.

10 Days to Tarry
In the book of Acts we learn that the disciples were to tarry (wait in anticipation) for the Holy Spirit. For 10 days they spent time in the upper room engaged in prayer, meditation and worship. While they were waiting the Holy Spirit did come and He changed their lives, and the church, forever!
In an attempt to commemorate the time spent by the disciples, we'd like to invite you to join us as we tarry in God's presence as a community. For 10 Days, beginning Thursday, May 9, the church will be open from 6:30-7:45PM for directed times of intercession, worship, teaching and meditation as we tarry (wait) on the Holy Spirit to work in our lives individually and corporately.
All church activities will be redirected to this event. Wednesday, May 15 we will have Church Family Night Dinner at 6PM. At 6:30PM we will have classes for MH Kids and Uprise while the adults gather in the auditorium for a time of prayer and worship.
Please make it a priority every one of these 10 days to spend at least some time seeking the Word of God being revealed to us, the Body of Christ through the Holy Spirit. As we do, we are expecting a special move of God in our midst.

The most obvious example of baptism that we see in the Bible is that of Jesus Himself (Matt. 3). In that case, baptism served as confirmation from God the Father that Jesus was, in fact, who He claimed to be. But Jesus didn’t stop at merely setting an example of baptism. He went on to command in Matthew 28 that Christians should go into the world, preach the Gospel and baptize believers. Therefore, baptism is not just a recommendation for the believer, but a command for all those who have been saved by the grace of God, put their faith in Him and desire to obediently follow the Lord.
