ANNOUNCEMENTS

During the spring exam season, the North Collins High School has asked to use our building for extra testing space.  Nearly a hundred students were here another three mornings this last week, and others will be back later in the spring.

  Thank you for your understanding as we try to be good neighbors

 (and good lights) to our friends across the street.

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.  A fellowship meal following the service IS planned for next week. 

CALENDAR

Wednesday, May 1^st

Choir practice at the church at 6:00 pm.

Join us at the church for prayer and Bible study at 7:00 pm.   We've begun a survey of the Old Testament prophets – their ministries, their message, and their madness!  We’re looking at Malachi’s 2^nd and 3^rd oracles.  It’s a great time to join us!

Saturday, May 4^th

Deacons’ meeting in the adult Sunday school room at 10:00 am.

Sunday, May 5^th

3DYouth Group meets here at 6:00 pm for life lesson from Ruth followed by activities and refreshments.

  

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.
