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
SAVE THE DATE! Plans are underway for our 8th Leadership Forum.
T. David Gordon will join us over the weekend of May 20-22, 2011 for seminar sessions, stimulating conversations, and enriching teaching times. Plan now to take advantage of this special offering.

Dewey Missionary Society will once again put up a Christmas tree for the Seneca Gospel Mission. We will be collecting toys and food items through December 5th. For those contributing Christmas toys – the children (a lot of teenagers this year) like games, hand-held games, and sports balls (basketballs, footballs, and so forth). For those contributing food for the Christmas baskets – remember: no fresh foods, only boxed and canned items, such as fruit and vegetables, soups, cereals, and desserts (cake mixes with frosting).
