Midweek Fellowship — our study this week is titled “The Tree of Life.” Trees play a prominent part in the biblical narrative. What might be the significance of what is referred to as The Tree of Life? Might it be a literal tree? Might it be symbolic of something significant? And how might our understanding enrich our daily life? Join us Tuesday at 6 p.m. (come at 5:45 for some good pre-study talk) in the church Board room.

Fellowship Dinner Today — everyone is invited to our monthly luncheon immediately following the Worship Hour. The luncheon is served in the Fellowship Hall. Bon Appétit!

COMMUNITY SERVICES — meets each Tuesday morning from 9:00 AM to 12 Noon. If you are interested in sewing baby layettes please join us. We supply Sharp Mary Birch Hospital with these baby layettes, which are given to needy mothers. We need help and yours would be much appreciated!

FOOD COLLECTION — We have placed a container in the foyer to receive donations for the local food banks. Please bring canned goods, bags of rice, beans, etc. to donate to this very worthy cause. NO glass containers!

CHURCH ORGAN CAMPAIGN — We have created a “Matching Fund Campaign” for a new church organ. The church will match, dollar-for-dollar, all donations to the Church Organ Fund. The present church organ has served us well for many years, but we would like to upgrade to a modern organ with all of the capabilities that such an organ can provide. Mark your offering envelopes “Organ Fund”.

PARENTS ROOM IS A QUIET ROOM — Just a reminder that our “Parent’s Room” at the rear of the Sanctuary is for parents with very small children. The Parents Room is intended to be quiet so that babies can sleep. Please do not leave your children in this room. It is not a child-care room. Thank you for your help in this matter!

CHURCH WEBSITE — Did you know that your friends can watch our Worship Hour LIVE each Sabbath at www.tsdachurch.org? Or that Pastor Gary has a weekly message on the homepage? Or that there is a book review on the site? Well, now you know!
