To better serve our little ones a few new policies
are now in place. Please take note of and adhere
to new policies. These are effective immediate-

to do our best to guide, serve, and protect the
children in our care.
Please label your child's belongings (jackets,
bags, sippy cups, etc.).
Please SIGN OUT when you return your pager.
Please allow 2s & 3s volunteers to dismiss
children one at a time. A volunteer will col-
lect your child's belongings and hand them

This is the same policy and routine that we fol-
low for preschool/K, Kids' Worship and Route 56.
We love our little ones and want to see them
each Sunday, but please meet & greet the little
ones you love OUTSIDE the Nursery and 2 & 3s

"A Can of Worms"
1 Timothy 2:1-15
Tom Cater, Preaching
Main Question: Why did Paul open that “can”?
The Prayer Initiative
God is calling us to pray--for our church, for our community, and for His
Kingdom plans to be accomplished. Will you answer the call? Join us on
Wednesday nights at 6:30 pm for 30 minutes of praise and prayer.
"Convicted and Changed":
A Series of Messages from 1 & 2 Thessalonians; 1 & 2 Timothy; and Titus
While most of Paul’s letters were written to specific churches and people, they were often shared from
church to church, from leader to leader. The letters that we’ll be studying over the next few months deal
with the theme of holy living, but in order for that to happen we must be convicted of our need for Jesus and
be willing to change to be more like Him. I pray that this series will help us all discover and apply the truth
about what it means to follow Jesus
