DISCOVERY BAND AND MUSIC

This Sunday, the Discovery Band will sing two songs that express surrender and worship in different ways. Build My Life opens by declaring that no one is like our God and by building our lives on a firm foundation. "Jesus, you are worthy, and I want your love and truth to be the foundation of everything I do."

The second song this week will be I Lift My Hands. A fun song to let go and lift your hands to, thus choosing to worship God in every circumstance. "No matter what I face, I will continue to trust, praise, and surrender to God because He is faithful."

Chancel Choir Music for Sunday

This Sunday, the choir will be singing the spiritual, Keep Your Lamps Trimmed and Burning. The lyrics call us to live with watchful faith and enduring hope. Echoing Jesus’ parable of the bridesmaids in Matthew 25, its message reminds us to keep our hearts ready for Christ’s coming and attentive to his presence each day.

Keeping our lamps burning means tending our faith through prayer, worship, kindness, and service. The encouragement, “Children, don’t get weary”, acknowledges that this work can be tiring. Yet we are called to persevere—to care for one another, work for justice, and offer love even when we cannot see the results.

The promise that our journey will one day be complete gives us courage for today. As we await God’s promised day, may the light of Christ shine through our lives, bringing warmth and hope to those around us.

Preschool News



Last week, we finished the month of October with our Community Helper Parade and fall parties. Our Preschool friends got to dress up as their favorite community helper and parade around the courtyard - it was so fun seeing how creative everyone was with their costumes! We are looking forward to a new month and we have so much to be thankful for!

Senior Youth, Junior Youth, and Tiny Tots

Join us for our annual Friendsgiving lunch on November 15, immediately following the worship service! Invite your friends to enjoy a great meal and fellowship, and to see what we do at Heritage. Parents of youth are also welcome to attend.

Thanks,
