SERMON NOTES
Our church has a wonderful nursery equipped with a trained staff.
Child care is provided for both worship services. We welcome children in all
worship services. However, if they become especially restless or disruptive we
encourage you to be considerate of others and take them to the Narthex or nursery.
The worship service can be viewed live on a TV screen in the Narthex. Any usher
will be happy to direct you.
ALSO - please be courteous to others by turning off your cell phone
during worship services. Thank you!
* Those who are able, please stand.
** This arrangement is being sung for the first time at Pasadena. Special thanks
to Kevan Hobbs for guest accompanying.
Assisted Listening Headsets are available on a limited basis and are located in
the reception area. If you are a member or regular attendee we ask that you bring
your own small AM/FM radio with headset and tune into FM radio station 99.1 so our
visitors may use the headsets.
