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
In place of our regular fellowship meal following next month’s Communion service on November 6th, plan to join us downstairs for a Harvest Dinner. Turkey will be provided, but be thinking about a “seasonal favorite” to pass – a special dish that symbolizes God’s provision of love and blessing. Details to follow.
