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.  We are NOT planning a fellowship meal at this time.

In a couple of weeks, Derek is going to begin a sermon in the book of Ecclesiastes.  In preparation for that, you may want to read this intriguing book ahead of time, have its themes fresh in your mind, and be praying with Derek as we look forward to this enriching time of learning together.

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.
