ANNOUNCEMENTS

Tuesday, April 21st
Ladies’ Bible Study at Evie Mann’s home in Eden. They are beginning a new study on the fruits of the Spirit. Ladies, if you’re looking for more study, encouragement, and prayer in your life, consider joining this group. The study begins at 8:00 p.m.

Wednesday, April 22nd
Choir practice at the church at 6:00 pm

Wednesday Evening Bible Study and Prayer Meeting meets at 7:00 pm. Join us as we make our way through the book of James in a study called “Brother to Brother”. We’re moving into Chapter 2. It’s a great time to join us.

Saturday, May 2nd
We are pleased to welcome back T. David Gordon for our 7th Annual Leadership Forum. Dr. Gordon will address the theme of developing and preserving a biblical worldview. He believes that the dangers of conformity with the world are just as great in our day as they were in Paul’s. How can we develop a consistently Christian understanding of reality, in the midst of so many things around us that appear normal but are not? This question will be the focus of our weekend together.

Interest has been expressed in joining the church. If others would like to be part of a class for prospective members, see Derek or one of the Elders. The class is designed for those considering church membership. If you’re already a member, but still don’t have the foggiest idea what American Congregationalism is all about, come and sit in on this three- or four-session class. Details to follow.

The Browns are flying to Texas this Thursday to share in the celebration this Saturday of the marriage of their daughter Rebekah to Mark Hierholzer.

Get the most out of the services 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.
