ATTENDANCE LAST WEEK
A new sermon series begins in January 7
From Genesis to the Gospels to Revelation, no other book has had a greater
influence on the world than the Bible. Dr. Charley Reeb will be doing a series of
messages that will take us on an exciting and transforming journey through the
Bible. We’ll learn how to read the Bible - and understand it.
Dr. Reeb will share some of the Bible’s most inspiring passages and beautiful
poetry, along with his favorite Biblical stories. As we journey through the story of
scripture, the people and themes will come alive. Most importantly, we’ll come to
understand how the Bible has real meaning for our lives today.

TRADITIONAL WORSHIP
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!
