The God Who Is Near
There’s a lot we don’t know about the sovereignty of God. But we know this: God works through
prayer.
And when he does, he reveals his will – and his heart.
And when he does, he reveals his will – and his heart.

the most out of the service by asking about our special listening devises.
Pick
up one in the back or see an usher for help.
If yours isn’t working property, don’t be bashful about raising your
hand to ask for assistance.
Announcements
The Church
Board has approved the installation of a commemorative window to mark our
church’s bicentennial in June 2017. The
projected cost is $5,000. If you are
interested in being part of this project, make your contribution out to The First Congregational Church and
designate them “Bicentennial Window”.
Next Sunday,
we will celebrate the Lord’s Supper. If
you would like to participate but are unable to be here, see Derek or one of
the Elders to arrange another time.
Don’t be shy about taking full advantage of this important gesture of
unity with Christ and his body. A
fellowship meal following the service IS planned – bring a favorite dish to
share!
