the information table in the sanctuary. All gifts are tax-deductible and if you would like to
receive a receipt at the end of the year please place your offerings in an envelope with your
name written on it. The second way to give is through a wire transfer. You can transfer your

Children’s Sunday School is available (9:30am-10:30am). Children will be with their par-ents during the music and be dismissed to their class before the sermon.

GOD WITH US—1 IN THE VALLEY
“Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means 'God is with us.'” Matthew 1:23 NLT
WE MAY ENJOY GOD ON THE MOUNTAINTOPS, BUT WE GET TO KNOW HIM INTIMATELY IN THE VALLEYS.
Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrim-age. 6 As they pass through the Valley of Baka, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools. 7 They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion. Psalm 84:5-7 Blessed are those whose strength is in you ... Psalm 84:5
What joy for those whose strength comes from the Lord, who have set their minds on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Psalm 84:5 NLT
As they pass through the Valley of Baka, they make it a place of springs; the au-tumn rains also cover it with pools. Psalm 84:6 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? 8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. 9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, 10 even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. Psalm 139:7-10
