PREPARATION FOR WORSHIP - We're glad you've joined us to worship God. Sing, pray and enjoy the Word of God when it is read and preached. Then go forth under the Holy Spirit's leadership.
WELCOME - This is the Sunday before Thanksgiving. Let us be greatly thankful for all of God's blessings. This is the house of the Lord, and we are joining in worship as His children.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT - For, after all, put it as we may to ourselves, we are all of us from birth to death guests at a table which we did not spread. The sun, the earth, love, friends, our very breath are parts of the banquet. Shall we think of the day as a chance to come nearer to our Host, and to find out something of Him who has fed us so long? - Rebecca Harding Davis
PRAYERS FOR HEALING - Prayers for healing are offered by request every Sunday during the Sunday School hour. If you would like prayer for spiritual or physical healing, please see any group member. If you miss us in church, you can find us in the Sunday School room next to pastor Charlie's office.
