LWML DATE CHANGE The Women’s Missionary group will have their first meeting of the new year on Wednesday, Jan. 11, instead of Jan. 4. The new Quarterly magazine is available on the table in the narthex for anyone to read.
WOMEN’S RETREAT Jan. 27-29 are the dates of the Women’s Retreat to be held at the beautiful Wyndham Branson at the Meadows Resort, Branson, MO. If you would like to attend, and have not signed up yet, please contact Lora S. There will be a $10.00 registration fee for each one attending. Please make your check payable to the LWML and give to Mary at the church office. The theme for this year’s retreat is, Say yes to the dress—your Bridegroom is coming!
THE PORTALS OF PRAYER are on the table in the narthex. Help yourself.
OFFERING ENVELOPES The 2012 offering envelopes are on the table in the narthex. Please remember to discard your 2011 envelopes and use only the 2012 envelopes beginning today. If you do not see your name and want envelopes, please contact the church office. Likewise, if you prefer not to use them and see your name, simply write NO on the label.
FLOWER CHART If you would like to place flowers at the altar for a special occasion or in memory of someone, please sign the flower chart hanging on the wall next to the water fountain in the hallway. Simply write your name, phone number, and occasion with the pen provided.
CD’S AND TAPES OF THE SERVICE Audio tapes and CD’s of the service are available after the 8:15 am service each Sunday. They are located in the glassed-door cabinet in the narthex.
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.
BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKS are available in the narthex after each service. You will be given a small form that can be carried in your wallet which will include medical information and a log of your blood pressure readings.
PRAYER BEARS are in the sanctuary pews and available to be signed out (notebook in narthex) and given to anyone that needs God’s love, comfort, and peace. We have had reports and words of thanks from folks being blessed by this outreach ministry.
