     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

This morning, we welcome Rasheed Akhtar back to North Collins.  Mr. Akhtar is currently serving as ISI’s South Asia Campus Minister.  His testimony and ministry among international students bears powerful witness to God’s work in his life.  Let’s give him our full attention as he brings a message from God’s word.

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 serivce is NOT planned at this time.

Note the enclosed invitations for the Bicentennial Weekend.  Keep one on the fridge to remember the service times and activities.  Or send it to a friend you think ma enjoy being a part of this special time together.  There are extra invitations on the back table.
