Get the most out of the service 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.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
This morning we welcome Tony Barone to our pulpit. No stranger to our congregation, Mr. Barone has served for many years as chaplain for the Buffalo City Mission. Now retired, he continues to serve area churches in a variety of ways. Let’s give him our full attention a he brings a message from God’s word.

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. We will share a fellowship meal together following the service. Bring a dish to pass!
