Postlude
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.


Announcements
November is a time to donate toward the purchase of Bibles for the persecuted church.  Offerings designated “Persecuted Church Bibles” will be used to purchase Bibles for the Voice of the Martyrs ministry. (VOM distributes Bibles around the world and is a trustworthy ministry.)  Let’s pray for our fellow Christians’ perseverance and give joyfully for their edification by making the scriptures available.

Interest has been expressed in joining the church.  If others would like to be part of a class for progressive members, see Derek or one of the Elders.  The class is designed for those considering church membership.  But if you’re already a member and still don’t have the foggiest idea what Congregationalism is about, come and sit in on this three- or four-session class.  Details to follow.

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

Calendar 
Monday, November 20th: AA meets downstairs from 8:00 – 9:15 pm.

Wednesday, November 22nd: Bible study & prayer meeting at 7:00 pm.  We’re studying the two angelic announcements about “miracle babies” in Luke 1.  It’s a great time to join us!
