Welcome to Worship
We’re so glad you’ve joined us today! Whether you’re part of Rock Hall Church, Wesley Chapel, or visiting with us for the first time, it is a joy and a gift to gather as one family in the presence of God.
Today’s combined service is a reminder that though we meet in different buildings week to week, we are one church—united in Christ, joined together by His Spirit, and sent out for His mission in our community. As the Apostle Paul wrote, “There is one body and one Spirit... one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all” (Ephesians 4:4–6).
As a Global Methodist congregation, we believe God calls His people to live out three key discipleship practices:
Worship Passionately – because God is worthy of our praise and delights in the hearts of His people gathered together.
Love Extravagantly – because Christ’s love unites us beyond walls, names, and traditions.
Witness Boldly – because our shared mission is to make disciples of Jesus who transform the world through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Thank you for being part of this special time of worship. May this morning renew your faith, refresh your spirit, and remind you that together, we are the Rock Hall Charge of the Global Methodist Church—one body, one mission, and one Lord.
If you’d like to learn more about our ministries or ways to get connected, please reach out at 410-639-2144 or send me an email at the address below.
In Christ,
Pastor Gary

Life is much more than an accident. Wherever I go, I believe God needs me there. Wherever I am, I trust God has put me there. He has a purpose for me being there - Christ, alive in me, wants to do something through me, no matter where I am. I believe this and go in His grace and His love and His power. | |

Daily Devotional Reading:
Wake-Up Call provides a daily encouragement to shake off the slumber of our busy lives and turn our eyes toward Jesus. Each morning our community gathers around a Scripture, a reflection, a prayer, and a few short questions, inviting us to reorient our lives around the love of Jesus who transforms our hearts, homes, churches, and cities.
