Announcements

Join us TONIGHT for our second Sunday Night Out of the summer.  Gather at 4:00 pm for a relaxing time of fellowship and a meal at the Doles’ pond. Hot dogs (or something) will be provided.  Bring a friend or neighbor and a dish to pass.

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 NOT planned at this time.

There’s a card in the back from all of us expressing our thanks to Bob Turnbull and his team from the nursery who did such a great job landscaping the church properties.  Take a moment and sign it on your way out.
