CALL TO
PRAYER TIMES OF REFRESHING (by Don Harris, Martin Nystrom)
Times
of refreshing, here in Your presence; no greater
blessing than being with You.
My
soul is restored, my mind is renewed; there’s no greater joy, Lord, than being
with you.
(1993 Integrity’s Hosanna!)

us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

A NOTE TO PARENTS
We love children and your little ones are welcome in
our worship service. On those days when
your child is fussy, the parlor located behind the sanctuary provides an
excellent place to care for your child and still participate in the worship service.
Child care is provided for infants and children up to
2 years old in the Education Building during Sunday school and worship
hours.
