announcements – august 8

—Octavius Winslow 

Announcements

—Prayer meeting this Sunday Evening, August 10
This Sunday, August 10 we will have an evening prayer meeting at the school from 6-7pm. For this particular prayer meeting we’ll use a new format — we will alternate our praying with singing a hymn or psalm. These hymns and psalms can help guide our prayers and also create an atmosphere that might be more conducive to children participating. As always, I would encourage you to show up 15 minutes early to create more fellowship opportunities with your church family.
