Sunday
School 9:30 am ▪ Family Worship
Service 10:45 am
Wait in Prayer Worship in Reverence Depart to Serve
Be mindful that the few minutes before the service
are set aside to help prepare for worship.
Some use this time to pray or meditate on the call to worship or just be
quiet before the Lord. Let’s keep our
visiting before the service to a minimum
– or
better, let’s wait until after the service.

Announcements
Next week 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 scheduled.
At our
November family meeting, the suggestion was made that we set aside time to pray
specifically for church growth and renewal.
In response, the Wednesday evening Bible study group will devote its
prayer time once a month to this important need. Join us the last Wednesday of every month to
pray for God’s continued work in our church.
