No 8:15 Service

Dear College Church Family, 

There are a couple of mistakes in the bulletin this week. There is no 8:15 service or early prayer afterglow this week, but it was erroneously left in the calendar listing. Secondly, as was pointed out in the email announcing that the bulletin was ready for download, the Sabbath dinner announcement was missing. It should read:

WELCOME, GUESTS! We invite you to our all-church fellowship dinner downstairs in our Fellowship Hall after the church service today. Members, please bring plenty of food for our church family and our guests. The left side Sanctuary Sabbath School class will host next week's dinner.
