Welcome Kep & Debbie James
We are excited to have Kep & Debbies James join us this morning. They have been missionaries in partnership with Parkside Church in Bolivia since 1988. Their ministry is largely geared toward discipleship; Debbie works with women in their church and Kep runs a discipleship program that seeks to raise up new pastors and church leaders. Together they have 3 children and 5 grandchildren!
Baptism Service: November 8th
Join us for Baptisms next Sunday, November 8th! We will celebrate baptisms at both the 9:00 am and 10:30 am services.
Video Venue for Parents
In an effort to provide some additional flexibility for parents with young children, on a trial basis we will begin streaming services in the lower level. Families may RSVP for the 9:00AM or 10:30AM service as normal and utilize the space as needed. Please note that this option is specifically designed to serve our families with infants and young children and is not intended as an alternate format for all attenders.
Family News
We rejoice with the Krewson family and the birth of their daughter, Josephine, last week.
Baptism Preparation Workshop
If you're interested in taking the next step toward baptism, please join us for a two-part preparation workshop on December 6 & 13 at 10:30AM. Our hope is to include these baptisms as a part of our Christmas Eve services. Sign-up here or email if you have any questions.
COVID Reminders
Just a friendly reminder that masks must remain on outside while congregating per the Governor's order as well as for the duration of the service.
Join the Greeter or Usher Team
Our ushers and greeters are the first to welcome you on a Sunday morning. During these days of COVID-19 they are there to help you find a seat and answer your questions. If you would like to help out in this way, please fill out the Volunteer Form and select "Ushers" or "Greeters" as your serving area of choice, and we'll follow up with you. Bonus: ushers and greeters are guaranteed a spot for the Sunday service!
Children's Ministry during COVID-19
We are not offering children’s ministry at this time, due to potential risks to children and volunteers, and because of the difficulty in ensuring proper sanitization. We are, however, glad to make our children's curriculum available for home use. Curriculum will be distributed via a shared drive; if you are not a member of the "Children's" group in CCB and would like access to the curriculum, please email and we will add you.
Building Campaign
If you would still like to participate in our Pledge Campaign, we would welcome you to do so. If you have already pledged, you are now able to set up your online gift through the "Give" tab in CCB or designate your checks as "Building Campaign" in the memo line. For more information, please visit our Building Campaign webpage.
