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.

Announcements

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.

At our November family meeting, the suggestion was made that we set aside time to pray specifically for church growth and renewal.  In response, the Wednesday evening Bible study group will devote its prayer time once a month to this important need.  Join us the last Wednesday of every month to pray for God’s continued work in our church.
