Announcements
3DYouth Group meets tonight here tonight at 6:00 p.m. Life lessons from Timothy followed by “Bible Jeopardy!” and refreshments.

Thank you to all who helped make last Sunday’s Singspiration! so successful. The many ways you showed the warmth and love of true Christian hospitality was evident to all. I was proud of your good, hard work. -- Derek

In place of our regular fellowship meal following the Communion service, 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.
