NEW BIBLE STUDY There is a new Bible study starting this Tuesday, called The Truth Project. It is a dynamic look at what the Bible tells us (which is the truth) compared to the world’s view (which is often a lie). It is a twelve week program which will include a DVD lesson and discussion. There is no cost. The program was developed by Focus on the Family and you can find information, DVD clips and more on the website: thetruthproject.org. This study is open to everyone. Invite friends and co-workers to join us. We will meet each Tuesday, starting this week, at 6:30 in the Fellowship Hall. You may contact Lora S., for more information. Sign up sheet in the narthex.
FLOWER CHART, 2010 If you would like to place flowers at the altar for a special occasion or in memory of someone, please sign the flower chart found on the wall in the hall between the restrooms. Simply write your name, phone number, and occasion with the pen provided.
BLOOD PRESSURE The opportunity to have your blood pressure taken and recorded after each service is available in the nurse’s office located off the narthex. You will be given a card to carry with you to record your readings.
TAPES OF THE SERVICE Audio tapes of the service are available after the 8:15 am service each Sunday. They are located in the glassed-door cabinet in the narthex. Tapes of the previous Sunday are also available.
ASSISTIVE LISTENING If you are having a hard time hearing the service, assistive listening devices are available from the ushers. They work like a transistor radio and you can control the volume.
