ESPECIALLY FOR OUR GUESTS We are glad to have you worship with us today. You are worshiping with people who experience the same difficulties of life as you. We have nothing to boast about except the God we worship. Please relax and focus upon the Lord Jesus who loves you and desires for you to follow Him. While God has surely led you here, you likely still have a number of im-portant questions about us; how to get more in-

volved and connected in meaningful relationships, or about your own personal or spiritual needs. If so, please allow us to help you by com-pleting the guest registration inside the back cover or by coming for-ward during the invitation time. —Ronnie W. Rogers
