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

marks the beginning of Advent 2014!
Our morning

Pray that this will be an encouraging, challenging time in our
congregation.
