HAPPY & BLESSED NEW YEAR!!
Sunday
School 9:30 am ▪ Family Worship
Service 10:45 am
Wait in Prayer Worship in Reverence Depart to Serve
Be mindful that the few minutes before the service
are set aside to help prepare for worship.
Some use this time to pray or meditate on the call to worship or just be
quiet before the Lord. Let’s keep our
visiting before the service to a minimum
– or
better, let’s wait until after the service.
