Automatic Deduction - easy, one-time setup for sched-uled giving and no fees make this method a favorite.

Prepare your hearts for worship, is a phrase we hear at the end of the welcome video each week. Think about it. Whenever you get ready to do something significant, you prepare, whether it is going to see the tax man or going to a wedding. Preparation is involved. When we go to meet with God, you would think wed take extra time to prepare! Following the announcement video, we have given some time to clear our heads as Josiah plays something on the organ that can help us stay focused. In those brief moments, let all the things that come flooding into your mind go right on out the back door! Give them over to the Lords care for the next hour. (You can always take them back and worry after worship is over!) Now is the time to listen for the voice of the Lord. Close your eyes and be still. After all, the Lord is present. He often speaks in a still, small voice. Remember, His name, is Emmanuel: God with us and He is. As the old sign along the highway used to say, Prepare to meet thy God. Good advice. - Dr. Dan Sharp

RECYCLE YOUR BULLETIN8:30am & 9:45am worshipers can help the church be better stewards of our resources and environment by placing this worship bulletin in one of our recycling stations as you leave today.

There are two right outside the Sanctuary: one in the Grand Hallway leading to the Edington Ministry Center, and one across from the entrance to the Prayer Room. If youre in Lee Fellowship Hall, look for one to the right of the exit as you leave.

The bulletins are reused for the 11:00am worship service, and recycled on Monday morning.

ABOUT OUR MINISTRY TO THE HOMELESS COMMUNITY

COMPASSION CORNER

COMPASSION CORNER MINISTRIES WAS FOUNDED IN 2001 BY A GROUP OF COMPASSIONATE MEMBERS OF FIRST PRES. Located at 425 N. Magnolia Avenue, behind the Orange County Courthouse building, Compassion Corner opens its doors to our homeless neighbors four days a week, for a total of 24 hours each week. Each day we welcome 75-80 men and women for Bible study, coffee, fellowship, prayer, and a needed respite from the streets. Our goal is to provide a safe place where trusting relationships can be built, and through those relationships, restoration and transformation can take place. The corner is dry when it is wet, cool when it is hot, and warm when it is cold.

We have five coaches providing over 10,000 hours of case management per year. These coaches help each person take their next best step, referring them to the services they need.

Toiletries and other necessities are distributed as needed, adding up to over 600 personal hygiene products a week, alone. Compassion Corner also provides socks, reading glasses, and work boots; helps pay for prescriptions; and $20,000 worth of bus passes for job interviews, medical appointments, VA visits, and other needed services annually.

COMPASSION CORNER HOURS

Monday - Thursday 8:30am - 11:00am and 1:00pm - 3:00pm

HOW YOU CAN SERVE

Donate toiletries, bring baked goods, offer a listening ear during morning coffee time, or be trained as a coach, to help our friends take that next best step. Call Spencer Pfleiderer at 407.488.1955 to get started.
