Announcements from November 23 Bulletin

Please Exit The Sanctuary After Early Service
In order to get a timely start to our Sunday school classes, we ask that you leave the sanctuary promptly after the early service ends. You may either head directly to your Sunday school class or the fellowship hall for a cup of coffee or conversation. Thanks!

LWY Parent Meeting
Dear LWY parents, the LWY leaders strongly encourage you to join us for a brief parent meeting on Sunday, December 7, between Sunday school class and the 2nd Service. We have important information and updates concerning future events that you need to be aware of. We will gather in the 1st Sunday school room on the left in the New School wing. We look forward to seeing you there.

WOW Christmas Fellowship: “Unwrapping God’s Blessings”
Our Christmas fellowship time for all the women at CTW will take place on Tuesday
December 2 at 7:00 p.m. We will be meeting at the Ward Pavilion. Our speaker, Renee Drees, will be encouraging us as we look at God’s gifts and blessings. For the food at this event we are asking everyone whose last name begins with the letters A-F to bring a finger type dessert and those with a last name that begins with the letters G-Z to bring an appetizer that can be picked up and put on a plate. No utensils will be provided!

Interviews For Participation In The Lord’s Supper
It is a joy to see our children grow in the Lord and love Jesus Christ. If you, as a parent, have seen your children grow in faith and believe they should be considered for participation in the Lord’s Supper, please contact Andrew Dionne so that he can set-up an interview of your child with the Elders.
