Worship and Communion November 12, 2017 Chimes of the Trinity Preparing for Worship The days of our life are seventy years, or perhaps eighty, if we are strong; even then their span is only toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away.

We invite you to enter this sanctuary with joy and reverence. We invite members and visitors to be seated near the front of the sanctuary to enhance our sense of community in worship. When you have taken your seat, spend a few moments in quiet reflection as you prepare your heart for worship. If the service has already begun, please enter quietly by one of the side aisles. Please remember to silence your cell phone. RESOURCES FOR HEARING IMPAIRMENT Hearing assistance devices are available for those who have such need. Please see an usher for more information. BECOME A MEMBER OF HBBC Those who desire to join our church may come forward to where the pastor is standing during the Hymn of Commitment. If you would like to meet with a minister before making this decision, any of our ministers would be happy to answer your questions.

ABOUT TODAY S WORSHIP The sanctuary flowers are given by Reese and Carolyn Edwards in celebration of God s blessing of their marriage and blending of their families on Friday, November 10 at Hayes Barton Baptist Church. The rose on the pulpit is placed to celebrate the birth of Matt and Allyson Donohue s son on November 3. Today as we observe the Lord s Supper we would like all believers to be able to participate; therefore, we offer gluten free wafers in individually wrapped packets for those with dietary restrictions. Following worship, ushers will be at the doors with baskets to receive a World Hunger offering. MEMBERSHIP MATTERS: IT S NOT TOO LATE TO JOIN US! Have you recently joined HBBC or are you prayerfully considering becoming a member? Are you seeking more information about deepening your relationship with Christ? Do you desire more information about how to join the church or how to find a place of service? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you would be a perfect candidate for Membership Matters: a 5-week discussion group that deals with all of these issues. Susan Hailey, Betty Boyce and Nancy Graybeal serve as facilitators for the class. The class is currently meeting on Sunday mornings at 9:45 AM in Room 106. Please come!
