Welcome to Farringdon Church Thank you for being with us today. Everything you need for the service can be found in this booklet and in the red Worship & Rejoice hymn book. Our service is typically just over an hour. If you are looking for a spiritual home, we have a variety of services and programs to meet your needs. Please introduce yourself to the morning greeters or the hosts at coffee time in Narthex (front lobby) or Rev. Mike Rattee after the service to learn more about what this church has to offer. Washrooms are located on the lower level, either a barrier-free washroom below the Narthex, accessible via the elevator or stairs, or in the Christian Education wing - just ask one of the greeters for directions. Children`s programming during the Summer occurs each week, with the children meeting together in the Narthex with Katelyn then heading down to Sunday School. There is no Children s Time during Sunday services in the summer months. Nursery age children are cared for downstairs for the entire service, however, if your child would like to remain with you for the service that`s great too. Midweek programming is on Hiatus for the summer but please feel free to inquire about our VBS or Wacky Wednesday programs which run in the summer. The Offering plate at Farringdon is a responsibility of members and adherents. You are welcome to make a financial contribution to support our ministries, however, if you are visiting us for the first time, we don't expect you to make a financial gift - we'd rather ask you to pay attention to God's blessings in your life, return next week, and make your gift then. Today, you are welcome to share in Chancel Communion, immediately following the greeting at the door and social time in the Narthex. All Christians are welcome. The service is brief and held at the altar. Please join us for refreshments after the service in the Narthex. Just follow the crowd and join in as a welcome child of God. If you are visiting for the first time, please let us know as we have a welcome gift for you. Page - 1 -
