ESPECIALLY FOR OUR GUESTS
We are glad to have you worship with us today. You
are worshiping with people who experience the
same difficulties of life as you. We have nothing to
boast about except the God we worship. Please relax
and focus upon the Lord Jesus who loves you and
desires for you to follow Him. While God has surely
led you here, you likely still have a number of im-
portant questions about us; how to get more involved and connected in
meaningful relationships, or about your own personal or spiritual needs.
If so, please allow us to help you by completing the guest registration
inside the back cover or by coming forward during the invitation time.
—Ronnie W. Rogers

LAST CALL!!!! Tuesday a.m.
Bible study begins this week!
With a jam-packed life, what's
missing is space for God to speak
and room for you to hear. It's
time to set aside the activities and
busyness that swallow up rest and
peace, breathe and build margin
into our lives for God. Join us for
this Priscilla Shirer study and
discover Sabbath margin - the
boundary God enables us to put
around things we enjoy so that
we never become slaves again.
Although it's too late to sign up
for childcare, it's not too late to
join us for the study. To be as-
sured of a workbook, contact
Nancy Peavler asap. This DVD
study meets from 9:30-11:30 a.m.
beginning Tuesday, October 20.
Cost is $15 for the workbook.
Hope you can join us for this time
of fellowship and study! A busy
season approaches!

Book Recommendation
What's Best Next, by Matt Perman
Productivity isn't just about getting more things done. It's about getting the
right things done. In our current era of massive overload, this is harder than
ever before. How do you get more of the right things done without confus-
ing mere activity for actual productivity? When we take God's purposes
into account, a revolutionary insight emerges, and we see that the way to be
productive is to make the welfare of other people our motive and criteria in
determining what to do (what's best next). As the Scriptures and the best
business thinkers show, generosity is the key to unlocking our productivity,
and to finding meaning and fulfillment in our work. What’s Best Next of-
fers a practical approach for improving your productivity in all areas of life.
It will help you better understand: why good works are not just rare and
special things, but anything you do in faith; how to create a mission state-
ment for your life that actually works; how to delegate to people in a way
that empowers them; how to overcome time killers by turning them around
and making them work for you; how to process workflow efficiently and
get your email inbox to zero every day; how your work and life can trans-
form the world socially, economically, and spiritually, and connect to God's
global purposes. What's Best Next will give you a practical approach for
increasing your effectiveness in everything you do.
