9:30 AM The Experienced Sufficiency of Christ 1. In Life -

The observance of the Lords Supper, in our congregation and denomination, is a close communion. Therefore, those who are not members are asked to appear before the consistory prior to being permitted to partake of the Lords Supper. Those visitors desiring to attend are encouraged to contact the pastor or one of the elders before the next elders meeting. There will be no Sunday School or Catechism classes on that morning. Next Sunday, Pastor Henk Bergsma of our Fenwick FRC will conduct our services, Lord willing. The Sunday School & Catechism classes (beginners 7 grade) will meet upstairs today. The songs of the month are the Christmas program songs. Please review with your child(ren). The deadline to get your special music requests in for the Christmas program is today!!
