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.

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
confusing mere activity for actual productivity? When we take God's pur-
poses 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 offers 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 statement 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 transform 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 every-
thing you do.
