News and Notes for Sunday, November 14, 2010

Sacred Acts – Baptism: This morning Darnell Love Watson and Alexis Elaine Watson, children of Dean Watson and Carrie Flanagan Watson, will confess their faith in the one God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in the Sacrament of Holy Baptism. At the same time, God declares Darnell as His son whom He loves and Elaine as His daughter whom He loves. Their Godparents are Dale and Tiersa Watson. We praise God for His love and grace He bestows through Baptism and pray that Darnell and Elaine will continue to grow in the Christian faith and life.

Altar Guild help is needed. Altar Guild is a ministry of God’s people whereby we take care of the Communion ware, Paraments, and Sanctuary on a weekly basis. It is a service to help maintain the beauty of our church in order to awaken the response of God’s people in all forms of beauty, care, and reverence. 1 Cor. 14:40 reminds us by saying, “Let all things be done decently and in order.” Please consider be part of this service. It usually means serving 4 Sundays’ a year and 2 meetings per year. If you are interested, please talk with Betty Wood or June Helmer.

Church Ornaments are for sale from any Ladies Aid member or the church office. Price is $10 each. Thanks for your support!
