We welcome you to our worship service this morning and pray that you will be blessed in the presence of the Lord Jesus.

It is our desire to glorify God as a community of Christ followers who love God, love people, and make disciples because Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.

The Choir and Drama Team are hard at work with preparations for this year's Christmas Musical. There is still time to be a part of it all! Choir rehearsals are Sunday afternoons at 4:30 pm and anyone in grade eight and older is welcome to join us. The Drama Team needs all kinds of people, from actors to stage hands to set painters and more. We're also looking for someone to head up publicity for the event, and that job could be done from home. Please consider being a part of one of the biggest outreach events of the year. It is always an exhilarating and meaningful experience! Contact Sandie Wanamaker(egcc.music@verizon.net) if you're interested in the choir, and either Sandie or Marty Glynn(372-9619) in you're interested in drama. We would love to have you join us!

SCRIPTURE MEMORY

Romans 8 is the chapter of scripture we are encouraging our church body to learn. If you have never memorized scripture before, set a small goal and memorize 5 of the verses. If you have memorized scripture before, set your goal higher, and if you really want to be challenged memorize the entire chapter of Roman’s 8. Please find the beginning of Romans 8 printed out on the back table of the narthex.

If you wish to have help in holding yourself accountable, or just to encourage others, we will track the progress of the verses memorized on the bulletin board in the Narthex. You can recite the verses to Katie Fischer in the Library in the time between Sunday School and church. Each week you need to recite the verse you learned, plus the verses you learned the week before, otherwise you will forget them. If you forget one week, don’t worry, just do the best you can. You can memorize one verse a week, or as many as you want. Let’s join together to encourage each other to grow in Christ.

The children have received shorter verses to learn in Sunday School up until high

school level. But any children who wish to, plus students in high school are

encouraged to learn Romans 8. Katie Fischer, CE Board
