² Get the most out of the service by asking about our special listening devises.²

Pick up one in the back or see an usher for help.  If yours isn’t working property, don’t be bashful about raising your hand to ask for assistance.

We are happy to welcome John Brown back to North Collins!  John has been involved with Promise Valley, the ministry formerly known as Seneca Gospel Mission, in various ways for over 15 years and currently serves as executive director.  John was recently ordained to the gospel ministry – and married!  Let’s give him our full attention as he brings a message from God’s word.

Announcements

The Church Board has approved the installation of a commemorative window to mark our church’s bicentennial in June 2017.  The projected cost is $5,000.  If you are interested in being part of this project, make your contribution out to The First Congregational Church and designate them “Bicentennial Window”.

The Yoders are in Michigan for two weeks of vacation with Derek’s parents.  Guest speakers are scheduled for Aug. 7^th (Tom Dalbo), and Aug. 14^th (Rasheed Akhtar).  Be praying for the Yoders during this time of travel, relaxation, and family time.  Derek is scheduled to preach in his home church on Aug. 14^th and will be back in the church study on the 15^th.
