PREPARING FOR WORSHIP We would ask that you find a seat and quietly prepare for worship once you hear the pianist begin playing the pre-service hymn selections. Please also ensure that your children are seated and quiet. THE LORD’S SUPPER This morning we celebrate the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper in our worship service. If you are a baptized member of a Biblebelieving church, under the authority of elders, and in good standing (permitted to attend the Lord’s Supper), we invite you to participate at the Supper with us; if not we ask you not to partake of either of the elements of bread or wine. CONGREGATIONAL MEETING You are invited to attend our annual congregational meeting on February 4, 2015 at 7:00pm at the church. At this meeting we hope to consider two items of business. First, we plan take some time to count God’s blessings toward us in 2014; the session and diaconate will also present plans for 2015. Second, the session continues to pray for and work toward the identifying and training of men for the offices of elder and deacon. As part of this work, the session has considered the suitability of Mr. Jeff Petric for service in the office of deacon at Covenant Community OPC. The result of this prayerful consideration has been (as announced in previous weeks) to present Mr. Petric to the congregation as a certified nominee for the office of deacon. The election for office of deacon, with Mr. Petric under consideration for that office, will be held at the same congregational meeting.
