This morning we welcome Tom Dalbo to North Collins!

He is the lately retired pastor of Winchester Community Church

in West Seneca, where he served for 47 years.

Active in the arts, active in their community, active in ministry, he and his wife Janice bring a wealth of experience to us this morning.

Let’s give Pastor Dalbo our full attention as he

brings a message from God’s word.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

The North Collins Junior-Senior High School will be participating in the 1^st Annual “Eagle Energy Day”, a community-service project in which faculty, staff, and students work together to make a difference in our community.  The school supplies free labor, but interested community residents provide the “jobs” and materials (e.g. paint, shovel, lawn mower, hammer and nails, etc.).  See applications in foyer for details.

The Yoders are away in Michigan for their annual family vacation and plan on traveling back to North Collins today or tomorrow.

CALENDAR

Wednesday, August 28^th

Choir practice at the church at 6:00 pm.

Friday, August 30^th

Check out “Ask the Pastor” at 2:00 pm (TCT Network and Dish Network Channel 26, DirecTV does not carry the program), as Derek tries to make good use of this special opportunity.  “Ask the Pastor” is a live call-in program with a panel of five area pastors answering viewer questions about life and the Bible from the Bible.

Get the most out of the service by asking about our special listening devices.  Pick up one in the back or see an usher for help.  If yours isn’t working properly, don’t be bashful about raising your hand to ask for assistance.
