We are glad you chose to worship with us today. Please fill out a visitor’s card from the pew and place it in the offering plate so we will have a record of your visit. Assisted hearing devices are also available. Parents are welcome to take advantage of our nursery facilities and graded worship through middle school. (See a greeter for directions.) PLEASE KEEP MIKE AND JONI WOOD in your prayers as they prepare to start their new ministry here with us at Bethany. Mike will be here next Sunday, January 4, for his first Sunday with us. TONIGHT we will have an “Un-decorating Event” at 5 p.m. We’ll meet to take down all the Christmas decorations from the buildings. We’ll need lots of helpers, so plan to come out and lend a hand! “THANK YOU” to everyone who helped make our services so special this Christmas season! We appreciate each and every person who helped out in any way, whether it was providing a poinsettia, or helping put the decorations up (or take them down). We appreciate the efforts of Neil Weathington and the Adult Choir last Sunday as they brought their wonderful cantata, “Shine on Us.” Thank you to every musician, singer, reader or server involved in our Christmas Eve Candlelight Service. And thank you to everyone involved behind the scenes in so many ways too numerous to mention. We appreciate the spirit of our volunteers here at Bethany! TCTC WILL BE HERE SOON! All our youth are reminded that the Tennessee Christian Teen Convention is just around the corner, January 9-11. If you’ve not confirmed that you’re attending this year, see Jenn Nasser as soon as possible!
