Announcements from February 10 Bulletin

Congregational Meeting
Following our evening service on March 16, we will have a short congregational meeting to hold an election for the office of elder. Matthew French is currently the only candidate. Other officer candidates will be put to a congregational vote later this year.

W.O.W. Event—Before the Throne: Cultivating a Vibrant Prayer Life
If you did not receive a booklet on the topic of prayer last Sunday to prepare for the February 23rd WOW Prayer Event please pick up a copy on the table in the narthex or see Michelle Vrlenich or Diane Walls. This booklet has been prepared for you to look at the scriptures and consider the topic of prayer individually before you come to the event on that Saturday. If you so choose, you can write out your answers to the questions in the booklet. The committee thought this preparation beforehand would be a good way to prepare your heart and mind to hear from the Lord concerning your prayer life.

After-School Bible Club Prayer and Collection
Please remember to pray for our after-school Bible clubs each Thursday morning. The Lord has blessed these groups, and we look forward to more blessing. Also, please support the clubs by bringing juice boxes. Please place them in the box in the Narthex.

Please Submit Updated Contact Info
In an effort to maintain good communication you are encouraged to take a few moments to update any information that might be out of date. Please use the connections card to do this and either place it in the offering plate as it goes by or drop it in the box at the welcome center in the narthex. Thank you for your time in this.
