COMMUNION PROCEDURE: Sunday we will use both the Common Cup and the Individual Cups as we celebrate Communion. The procedure will be as follows: 1) The bread will be distributed; please hold out your hand for the bread. 2) The individual cups will be distributed. Take an individual cup if you wish. 3) The common cup will then be distributed to those who did not take one of the individual cups. 4) Please leave the individual cups in the rack on the communion rail. If you are unable to come to the Altar for communion please speak to one of the Ushers. Pastor will bring communion to you in the pew.

EVANGELISM THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: Today we heard the Apostle John write, “Dear children, let us love not only with word or with our tongue, but also in action and truth.” (1 John 3:18 EHV) We know that actions always speak louder than words. When it comes to reaching others for the sake of Christ, do they see actions filled with love that reflect Christ? Those loving actions are a great way to open doors that might make it easy to tell them about Jesus, the one who changes lives for time and eternity.

We pray for our straying members and those who don’t know Jesus.
