ELDER INVITATION

February 15, 2015
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

CHURCH INFORMATION
DEACON OF THE WEEK The New Testament
describes the role of
a deacon as a serv-
ant. Deacons
serve by meeting
needs so elders can
equip, and the
church body can be prepared to
minister. Needs can be someone’s
car won’t start after church, some-
one asks for help, or any of a
variety of issues. For February 15-
21, David Peetoom will be the
Deacon of the Week. You can
locate him in the building.
