Welcome!
We extend a special welcome to our guests, visitors and all who join us in worship today. Please let us know of your
presence or any prayer requests you have by filling out one of the cards in the pew rack and placing them in the offering
plate. We hope that our church home becomes your church home and the spiritual place where you grow through the
Word of God.
Nursery care for children up to three years old is located on the main floor of the Welcome Center across from the library.
Older children attending the church service are encouraged to borrow a Toddler Tote filled with activities as you enter the
Sanctuary.
Concerning the Sacrament of the Altar
We believe that Jesus offers Himself to us in the Sacrament His true body and blood, for the forgiveness of sins. We also
share the scriptural concern for those who participate in the Lords supper that they recognize what they are receiving (1
Corinthians 11:27). Therefore, we ask that all who desire to receive the Lords Supper please carefully examine themselves
using the communion information card found in the pew rack.
Communion is celebrated on the 1st and 3rd Sundays at both services.
For those who desire, we offer gluten-free wafers
(please indicate your desire to the Pastor or Elder) and
non-alcoholic wine (located in the rose colored cups in the center of the individual cup tray).

Gods Word for Today: Nahum, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah this continuing series tells of the call for God's people to
repent of their sins, to exercise justice among the oppressed, and to look to the Messiah. Although written against Nineveh,
Nahum brings "good news" to believers. In this evil world of ours, Habakkuk declares that "the righteous will live by...faith."
Zephaniah points to the "day of the LORD," when His people will be saved and the wicked punished. This study led by Tim
Gandre and Tony Rylander.
(Welcome Center 2nd floor)
"The Grace and Truth Paradox" by Randy Alcorn - Our world today needs grace. Only by seeing the grace of God's
forgiveness can people realize a hope for salvation. But our world also needs truth. Only by seeing the truth of God's
judgment can people realize their need for salvation. Please join us in the Welcome Center classroom on the 2nd floor. This
class is led by Pat Croll, Alan Bishop and Nelson Scroggins.
