Hey everyone - Very well done on Sunday! Thanks for being so flexible in light of those last-minute emergencies we all know can (and do!) happen. See below for all the regular info. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask! Be sure to read the post-scripts (P.S.) at the bottom. See you soon -E.T.

- "We Will Know The Lord" (G)
Offering Song - "Shout To The Lord" (A)
Closing Song - "Enough" (G)

P.S. - I wanted to publicly apologize for not making it to CMS last weekend. It is not beyond the realm of possibility that some of you are disappointed with me. Some of you may even be frustrated/upset over my absence. I'm not going to give reasons, try and make excuses, or any of that; I want to simply say i'm sorry. I hope that those of you who did go can share your experiences with me. I want to hear about the things you learned, the ways you were encouraged, challenged, etc.

P.P.S. - I appreciate everyone trying doubly hard to get to church on time for rehearsals Thursday night and Sunday before worship. Please remember that we want to begin rehearsing at 6:30 (and 10:30 on Sundays). Please arrive before-hand so that you are able to set-up, plug-in, tune, and do whatever else is necessary to be ready when the time comes. If the adult bible study is still in session when you arrive on Sunday, feel free to go ahead and enter the Sanctuary to set-up, but please be quiet and respectful of their fellowship, especially when they are in prayer.
