CONVERSATION TIME AFTER WORSHIP – Join us in the Chapel if you’d like to talk more about anything from the worship service. This week you may want to consider:

• Think of times when you’ve extended an invitation—remember good results or bad ones. Can you remember invitations that have changed your life?
• Each time we mark the Lord’s Supper there’s an “Invitation to the Lord’s Table.” Has there been a time when that invitation changed you?
• On the Emmaus road, the disciples don't recognize Jesus until he breaks bread.  Then they see Jesus is there, but he vanishes.  Have you had such discoveries?  Have you known times when Jesus vanishes from you?  If so, what did you do?  Where did you go?

ONE GREAT HOUR OF SHARING – “Feed My Sheep.” Since 1949, Presbyterians have joined millions of other Christians contributing to One Great Hour of Sharing to share God’s love with people experiencing need. Gifts support ministries of disaster response, refugee assistance and resettlement, and community development. OGHS helps people find safe refuge; start new lives; and work together to strengthen families and communities. Recognizing that the hope we have in Christ is lived out in our hope for one another, we respond with gifts to help sisters and brothers around the world find brighter futures. Special envelopes are in the pew racks. Last week’s OGHS offering including children’s fish banks was $2,168.42.
