ANNOUNCEMENTS

Tuesday, October 7th
Ladies’ Bible Study is back on track at Evie Mann’s home in Eden. They are in a new study entitled “Meeting God.” If you’re looking for more study, encouragement and prayer in your life, consider joining this group. The study begins at 8:00 pm. If you’re interested, see Alice.

Wednesday, October 8th
Choir practice at the church at 6:00 pm.

Bible Study and Prayer meets 7:00 pm at church. We are in the prophetic portions of Daniel, Chapters 7-12. It’s a great time to join us!

Sunday, October 12th
Next Sunday the Maranos will present their daughter Angie Mae for Christian baptism. Plan now to stand with Tony and Tami and be part of this special service.

We hope you can join us for the fellowship meal downstairs following this morning’s service. As we’re finishing up our dessert, we’ll have a “family meeting” in the adult Sunday School classroom. Family meetings are casual times during which questions from the congregation can be asked about any subject, comments expressed, and special concerns raised. We will discuss the proposed statement by the Elders regarding the Lord’s Supper. In preparation for that meeting, pick up a copy of the proposed statement on the back table. Copies of our current Constitution & Bylaws are also available.


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