3 GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT OUR WORSHIP TODAY Welcome to this service of worship. The pastor and other worship leaders have put a great deal of time, thought and effort into the planning and implementation of the service. It is their hope and prayer that the service will constitute a fit offering of praise unto Almighty God, and that it will serve God s purposes as he continues to work in the lives of his children. Ushers are available to assist you in any way during the service. They are wearing gold identification badges and are stationed near the exits during the service. For those with children, please note the following provisions for childcare during the service: care for infants to one year olds in the nursery; care for two and three year olds in room 21 (down the preschool hallway); children s church for children age four through second grade in room 26 (also located down the preschool hallway the children leave for this class with its leaders following the Children s Sermon in the worship service). An usher will be glad to help you locate these rooms either before or after the service. The worship service is recorded on DVDs and is available upon request through the church office. A manuscript copy of the sermon is posted each Monday on the church website ( Visitors Please fill in the information below, tear off at the perforation, and place in the offering plate when it is passed. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Name: Address: Phone: I would like a call.

A Note from the Stewardship Committee The committee wishes to inform you that the family of Herb Young made a memorial gift in his honor to enable the church to continue to benefit from his love and passion for children s ministry. $1000 has been designated for the support of VBS and $1000 for use by the Children s Committee in support of its many programs. We are grateful for this generous gift and feel it is a fitting memorial to Herb s life and his concern for bringing children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

6 OFFERTORY SENTENCES 1 Chronicles 29:10-13 (slightly modified) Blessed art thou, O Lord, the God of Israel our father, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for ever and ever. Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty; for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all. Both riches and honor come from thee, and thou rulest over all. In thy hand are power and might; and in thy hand it is to make great and to give strength to all. And now we thank thee, our God, and praise thy glorious name.
