We thank you so very much for your extremely generous gift to Danielle following the fire at her house.

We thank you for this wonderful gift, yet another expression of your love.

Can you hear me now? Don’t forget, we have new listening devices to help make our services as meaningful as possible. Several have tried them and have been impressed with the results. Pick up one in the back or see an usher for help.
The public reading of Scripture is an important part of corporate worship (1 Timothy 4:13). To help make this time even more meaningful, it has been suggested that each person take a month’s worth of consecutive readings. If you would like to join in the experiment and serve the church by being part of this rotation, let Derek know.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Join us during the Sunday School hour as we consider the rich biblical theme of Sabbath. This several-week long series called “What a Difference a Day Makes” will examine what Sabbath meant in Old Testament Judaism and how it can and should find expression in our lives as Christians.
Tuesday, April 1st
Ladies’ Bible Study meets at 8:00 pm at Evie Mann’s home with a study called “Discovering Who Jesus Is”. If you’re looking for more study, encouragement, and prayer in your life, consider joining us as we tackle Jesus’ “I AM” statements.
Wednesday, April 2nd
Choir practice at the church at 6:00 pm.
Bible Study begins at 7:00 pm. We’ve begun an in-depth look at the Old Testament book of Daniel. It’s a great time to join us!
Sunday, April 6th
Next Sunday 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.
Saturday, April 12th
Men’s Breakfast at the Parsonage at 8:00 am.
Friday, April 25th
Our 2008 Leadership Seminar, open to everyone, begins at 7:00 pm for an evening of worship, song and inspiration as CCCC Conference Minister Steve Gammon speaks about our connection in Christ, our connection with one another, and what that means in the 21st century. On Saturday, Dr. Gammon will facilitate the continuance of our 2008 Leadership Seminar. Don’t miss these exciting opportunities. Stay tuned for details.
Can you hear me now? Don’t forget, we have new listening devices to help make our services as meaningful as possible. Several have tried them and have been impressed with the results. Pick up one in the back or see an usher for help.
The public reading of Scripture is an important part of corporate worship (1 Timothy 4:13). To help make this time even more meaningful, it has been suggested that each person take a month’s worth of consecutive readings. If you would like to join in the experiment and serve the church by being part of this rotation, let Derek know.

Wednesday Night Bible Study meets here at church at 7:00 pm. We’re beginning an in-depth look at the Old Testament book of Daniel. Join us in this casual and interactive time learning what God has done in the past and continues working through us today.
Next Sunday 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. As is our custom, following our Communion Meal, we’ll be enjoying a fellowship meal together.
