This Sunday, Rev. Jim Warren will preach at both the 9:00 traditional and the 10:15 progressive One and All service. Come learn about, "Listening to Others and the Holy Spirit," and Psalm 46. The Psalmist says, "Be still, and know that I am God." How can we be still before God and listen for God's voice?
Our gift of music will be presented by the Chancel Choir at the 9:00 a.m. service. At 10:15, the One and all band will be playing upbeat, meaningful music as we worship in Fellowship Hall. Invite a friend to join you for this relaxing, welcoming service complete with excellent teaching, prayer stations, a light breakfast, and friendly folks.
It is Promotion Sunday, so at the 9:00 service third graders will receive Bibles from First Christian Church to encourage their learning about their faith, and our preschoolers, children, and youth will all begin Sunday School. They should meet their teachers
after the 9:00 service
in the sanctuary. You may pick up your child at 11:15 in his or her
classroom (see your bulletin for room numbers).
Gifts for Another Table:
Non-perishable food items brought to church this month will be given to Center for Hope Food Pantry. Needed items include: rice & rice dinners, pasta of any kind, pasta sauce, Hamburger Helper, dinner meals, cereal, mashed/boxed potatoes, and canned fruits and vegetables.
