We hope you can join us for the fellowship meal downstairs following this morning’s service. As we’re finishing up our dessert, we’ll have a “family meeting” in the adult Sunday School classroom. Family meetings are casual times during which questions from the congregation can be asked about any subject, comments expressed, and special concerns raised. We will discuss the proposed statement by the Elders regarding the Lord’s Supper. In preparation for that meeting, pick up a copy of the proposed statement on the back table. Copies of our current Constitution & Bylaws are also available.
