Give one of the ladies a call if you have questions or need directions. Text Box: Jr. Worship: Offering and Prayer DID YOU KNOW??? There is a definite purpose behind the children’s offering and prayer during the 9:30 a.m. worship service. Members of Christian Education acknowledge several benefits to this practice: (1) the young children will have a chance to become acclimated to attending the adult service. (2) This presents the opportunity to teach them the importance of tithing. (3) it allows families without young children to see the children’s presence in church before being dismissed into Jr. Worship. (4) it allows some of the older youth to have the opportunity to stand in front of the congregation and offer a prayer to God on behalf of a group. Thank you to members who have given words of encouragement and support to our younger generation. They appreciate the recognition. Keep it up. Submitted By: Melissa Folk Text Box: Our sympathy is extended to Del and Sylvia Ott on the drowning death of their grandson Brandon Glass. Judy Ponting officiated at his memorial service.
