ANNOUNCEMENTS Jeff Davis CALL TO WORSHIP Shaun Hartsell

∆ OPENING HYMN I Will Sing of My Redeemer #309

AFFIRMATION OF FAITH Eric Phillips Leader: What comfort does “the resurrection of the body” give you?

All: That after this life my soul shall be immediately taken up to Christ, and that this flesh of mine, raised by the power of Christ, shall be reunited with my soul, and be conformed to the glorious body of Christ.

Leader: What comfort does “life everlasting” give you?

All: That, since I now feel in my heart the beginning of eternal joy, I shall possess, after this life, perfect blessedness, which no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of people conceived, and thereby praise God forever. (Heidelberg Catechism 4.057-4.058)

If you are in need of additional spiritual food &

thinking about trying a Sunday School class, we hope you

will consider The Present Word! This class, which meets in

the library, utilizes traditional quarterly curriculum available

from PCUSA. Pull up a chair, grab a pastry & a cup of

coffee, and join the Present Word Sunday School Class as

we begin our new study for the quarter, focusing on the

book of John. This Gospel presents a unique perspective on

the life and ministry of Jesus. Despite a new curriculum,

newcomers & visitors are always welcome.

Adult Sunday School
