4 PARTICIPANTS Presiding Minister Pastor James N. McEachran Director of Music Ministries/Organist Dr. Will Simpson Assisting Minister Tom Getzinger Communion Assistant Judy Gowdy Healing Ministers Jan Benson, Mikel Oswalt Acolyte Sara Marti Altar Guild Ann Berglind, Deanna Oeffner Greeters Maureen and JJ Dorwart Lector Marli Edde Ushers Ann Thorpe, Joan Tweten Coffee Host Sherry Grindeland Musicians Shelly Abner, violin; Leslie Johnson, viola; Annie Tang, violin; William Johnson, cello WELCOME to WORSHIP HEALING PRAYERS are offered during the distribution of Holy Communion. Kneelers are provided on the east and west sides of the sanctuary. Trained healing ministers are waiting to receive your requests before or after receiving the Eucharist. It can be especially meaningful to have a laying on of hands and an anointing of oil, if desired. It is appropriate to bring ANY request or concern that you may have for yourself or someone else. These may be prayers for emotional, spiritual, or physical healing. It can be a peace that brings wholeness, according to God s will, in a number of ways. If you are unable to walk to the kneelers, please ask an usher to assist or move to the bottom of the stairs on the East side of the sanctuary (near the pulpit) and the Healing Minister will come to you. MUSICIANS: We thank Annie Tang and William Johnson for sharing their musical gifts today.

Let s heap the measure of our giving to be a large movement in support of one of the core Outreach and Servant Values of our congregation.
