Order of Worship September 30, 2018 Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost

Liturgical Color: Green

Welcome

As we gather to worship our Lord, feel free to greet your neighbors in Christian love. However, when the announcements

begin, please take your seats and prepare your hearts & minds for worship. Out of courtesy for your brothers and

sisters in faith, silence your cell phones so we can be in a spirit of worship throughout the service. In the main building a

nursery is available for children, newborn to age 4 and Children ’s Church is available for children, ages

4 to first grade .

Have you signed the attendance pad? Check for a pad on your table or on the information table. Before you leave, please help clean up by returning hymnals to bottom of sound cabinet and picking up any papers around your

table. Thank you for keeping the Fellowship Hall clean and organized.
