ANNOUNCEMENTS

GOD’S TITHES AND OUR OFFERINGS Exercising faith means that we take a leap of trust, doing what God asks, even when we don’t know for sure how it will turn out. If we refuse to do that with temporal things, like our finances, then we probably won’t be willing to do that with the eternal things of life…and death. Faith is not abstract. God gives us a hundred opportunities a day to practice faith. One is our approach to giving.

WORSHIP GUIDE

God is so glad you’ve set aside this time to worship Him. He inhabits the praise of His people. As we gather, please take a moment to ask God to prepare us for worship—to open our ears and minds to His voice and to freely apply His word to our hearts and lives. Please also take a moment now to silence all electronic devices so that the Lord might have opportunity to freely speak to all.
