2 Worship and Praise Service January 4, 2015 Welcome to worship at First Christian Church! Each week we offer two different worship services: 8:15 am service features traditional worship and 11:00 am service features modern worship. Russ Utterback will share communion and offering devotions this morning. When communion is served, we invite all Christ Followers to participate, partaking of the bread as it is passed and retaining the cup until we can all partake together. Greg Taylor will be sharing a message from chapter 12 of The Story as we resume our journey through God s Word. We will be looking at 2 Samuel with a message entitled Temptation, Sin and Consequences.
