Announcements March 11, 2018
1. Please join us for a time of refreshments and fellowship in the lower level of the sanctuary following the service.
2. To enrich our Worship, please note these changes to the beginning and end of the Order of Service. The beginning of the Service will begin as the Minister, Music Director and choir enter the sanctuary together just before the Prelude begins at 10:00 a.m. This provides a time for quiet reflection and preparation for worship together. Likewise, the Postlude is a time for contemplation and prayer and only after the postlude concludes, has the service ended.
3. Please welcome Rev. Dr. Art Hiley, recently retired from Belmont Harrietsville-Mossley Pastoral Charge. We are fortunate to benefit from his expertise to provide us with Pastoral Care over the next months. He tells us that he likes to be called Pastor Art, for short.
4. FOOD BANK DONATIONS ARE WELCOME ON ANY SUNDAY. Items of particular need at this time are family sized canned fruit and fruit cups for school snacks. Please note that the local food bank uses the "Best Before" date on cans and dried goods in order to provide the freshest food for clients. We thank you for your contributions and ask that you take a moment to check the Best Before date on your food donations in order to ensure a reasonable shelf life
