Announcements
Today is the International Day of Prayer for the persecuted Church. Christians around the world are facing persecution in unprecedented numbers. We will be taking an offering to send to The Voice of the Martyrs ministry to the persecuted church on this Sunday. Please feel free to designate your special donation for the persecuted church and remember to pray for the church around the world.

3DYouth Group meets here TONIGHT at 6:00 pm for life lessons from Mark followed by games and refreshments.

Next week 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 scheduled.  Also, plan to linger over coffee and dessert for a brief family meeting.  If you have any questions or concerns about out life in the church, feel free to raise them during our informal time together.

Be praying with the Nominating Committee as it works to prepare a slate of candidates to be considered for office at the Annual Meeting in February 2017.  To submit names, see Olive, Fred or Derek.
