ANNOUNCEMENTS
This week marks the beginning of Advent
2012! Our morning worship services will commemorate the season with Advent
candles, readings, banners, and special messages. This year’s theme is “Advent of the Messiah,
Our Prophet, Priest, and King”. Let’s
prepare our hearts together for this special season.
Be praying with the Nominating Committee as they work to prepare a slate of candidates to be
considered for office at the Annual Meeting in February 2013. To submit names for consideration or to make

during this important time in our church.
