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 Dr. Drake Williams to our pulpit!  Drake has been our guest lecturer for this weekend’s 2012 Leadership Forum.  He and his wife, Andrea, and their three children, live near Amsterdam, where Drake serves at Tyndale Seminary training church leaders from around the globe in preparation for their return to local churches, many in the Third World. HE is a credentialed CCCC minister, and the Williamses are recent additions to our missionary roster.  Let’s give Drake our full attention as 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.  Our “fellowship meal” will take place later in the day at our second Sunday Night Out at the Doles’ pond.
