Sign up your child by contacting Tina at [email protected] Prayer Labyrinth This is a path the doubles back on itself and leads to a center in a way that is not obvious. It is not a maze; you cannot get lost in it; there is only one way in and out by retracing your steps. In preparation for the holidays, come walk the path while praying on Thursdays, November 13 & 20, from 10:00am-noon in the Jones Fellowship Hall. Additional dates and times: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday after Thanksgiving. Pathways to Healing A grief recovery workshop will be held monthly with sessions from 3:00-4:30pm. The next meeting will be on November 23 in the Wesley Room. Nursery Notes Nurseries are available from 9:00am till the end of the 11:00am service. Explosion worship and Sunday School are also available for older children during these hours. Crying, fidgeting and excited children are always welcome in our worship services if you prefer to have your child stay with you.
