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
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.  After the service, we are planning to gather for a fellowship meal downstairs.  See the sign-up in the foyer.

This is the last Sunday to order a book for our next
 “Coffee with Calvin” reading group.   See Derek for your copy
of Tim Keller’s The Reason for God.

 Calendar
Wednesday, September 5th
Choir practice at the church at 6:00 pm.

Join us at the church for Bible study and prayer at 7:00 pm.  This week we’ll be evaluating the next hymn in our series on church music (“And Can It Be?”).  Extra copies are on the back table along with T. David Gordon’s “Hymns: Criteria for Making Good Ones”.

Sunday, September 9th
Welcome Back Sunday!  Meet in the sanctuary at 9:30 am for our Sunday School kickoff followed by our fall Concert of Prayer (adults and teens).  Family worship begins at 10:45 am.

Thursday, September 13th
Our next Sit’nSew day!  This is a time for Dewey outreach to our home missions through making donation lap quilts and bed quilts.  We hope to make the second Thursday of every month our sewing day.  If there is enough interest, we could expand to twice a month to complete projects more quickly.  Clean, laundered fabric scraps are always welcome.

Thursday, September 20th
Dewey Missionary meeting.  We generally meet on the third Thursday of every month to hear our missionaries’ letters from around the world and to pray for their needs.  Come join us to support and be made aware of the work of our fellow Christians in India, Brazil, Haiti, North Africa, the Philippines, the Netherlands, Europe and China!

Sunday, September 23rd 
Franklin Graham’s “Rock the Lake” crusade is coming to Buffalo!  Bus leaves First Church of Evans between 2:30 – 3:00 pm.  If you’re interested in attending, get your name and $5 for a seat on the bus to Derek before the 23rd.  All are welcome.
