National Back to Church Sunday Tomorrow
Celebrate National Back To Church Sunday September 17th in Oceanside

North Coast United Methodist Church Joins Thousands of Churches to Participate in National Back to Church Sunday on Sept. 17
OCEANSIDE, Ca. – “Back to Church Sunday,” part of a national movement of churches across America, will be held at North Coast United Methodist Church at 8:30 and 10:30AM September 17. Everyone is welcome to attend. Since it started as a call to action and invitation for churches in 2009, the National Back to Church Sunday movement continues gain momentum. More than 4 million Christ followers have participated through 30,000 churches! At a challenging time in the United States of America, it is important that unity and peace are restored in our communities. This restoration begins with a place of welcome and love, where people are valued regardless of social, political, racial and gender biases. North Coast United Methodist Church is a place to belong in Oceanside. God loves each individual, and we welcome all people to join with us for support and encouragement in life.
National Back To Church Sunday has a new theme this year, “A Place to Belong,” that is relevant to the felt need in today’s culture of people wanting to be a part of authentic community. The message is that peoples’ stories matter, and they can find a place to fit in and make a difference right in their own local church. Participating churches believe that there has never been a better time than now for people to come back and get plugged in to a church that offers a place to belong, opportunities to serve the community, and the chance to grow spiritually through a journey of personal faith.
The Back to Church Sunday website includes a roster of participating churches (www.BackToChurch.com/find_a_church), and an interactive Facebook page provides insights and resources for participating churches.
