Happy Mothers Day

     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.

Announcements

The church’s financial statement for April 2017 is posted for review in the office over the copy machine.

Thanks to all who worked so hard to coordinate Eagle Energy Day and make it a success!  The high school students in the building and on the grounds got some good work done, but for us it was also an opportunity to be a Christian witness in our community.  Thank you!

“Thank you ever so much for the recent donation of several bags of food items and $216 … It is because of wonderful individuals, churches, businesses and organizations giving so generously that make such a huge difference in us providing foor for the hungry.  This is truly God’s love in action!” – Judy Heiler, Eden-North Collins Food Pantry

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.
