A Time To Remember...On All-Saints Sunday evening, October

Through songs, prayers and scripture readings, we will honor those who were part of the WFMC family, as well as the deceased parents, siblings and children of those who attend WFMC.

Service for Healing and Wholeness September 29, 6:00 p.m.

“Come to Me, you weary, and I’ll give us rest.” “Pray for and anoint for healing those who are sick.”

“Ask, seek and knock, and you will find.”

If you’ve never been part of a healing service before, here’s how it works: all those seeking healing fill out a card, stating the need specifically or generally, then come to the altar for prayer as there is room. Confidential needs are kept confidential.

The needs of those who don’t mind the congregation knowing their need will be shared (generally) then prayed for and anointed.

We continue like that until all who want prayer have been prayed for, then we’ll receive Holy Communion together as a response to God’s perfect and healing grace. The entire service lasts, generally, no more than one hour.

CALLING COUPLES AND FAMILIES OF ALL AGES! October 5, 10:00 a.m.

Join us for a fun morning in the woods of Raven Run - Fresh air, fun hiking, free date, family time! What could be better?

For more information, please email Ron & Tamara Redmon at rnrdmn@aol.com.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

GOD’S TITHES AND OUR OFFERINGS How can we ever out-give the Lord, who created us from nothing and has given us life? He’s given us principles to live by that promise us His best. He forgives us when we fail. He meets all our needs day to day, and protects us from tragedies we’re not even aware of. He asks for our love in return, and our obedience. Why would we not choose His ways – the ways of Him who loves us so much?

WORSHIP GUIDE

God is so glad you’ve set aside this time to worship Him. He inhabits the praise of His people. As we gather, please take a moment to ask God to prepare us for worship—to open our ears and minds to His voice and to freely apply His word to our hearts and lives. Please also take a moment now to silence all electronic devices so that the Lord might have opportunity to freely speak to all.

Communication Card, then place it in the offering plate.

CALL TO WORSHIP Apostles’ Creed All: "I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth: And in Jesus Christ

His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into Hades; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from where He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.”
