WELCOME TO WORSHIP: We are delighted you are here and have been praying for you. If this is your first visit, we are honored you chose to worship with us. If you are returning, welcome back! We invite you to leave contact information on the guest cards inside the friendship pads, or at the welcome center. All are welcome at Holy Communion, and instructions regarding our meal are in our worship folder. Children are welcome in worship, and we seek to find ways to include them, such as our Children’s time and our “pray-ground,” where those under 4 have a place where they can see and hear, yet be quietly active with quiet toys and books. We have a nursery downstairs, where Ms. Carla provides loving care for those up to age 5 who need a different environment; as well as quiet bags, books, and children’s bulletins near the entry way for older children. Restrooms are located in the sanctuary through the door directly opposite the entryway. We pray this worship will renew and prepare you to go out into God’s world to love and serve.
