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

• How did you feel hearing or reading the lesson from Acts 20? How did you feel saying with others the affirmation of faith?
• Imagine the talk at the water cooler on Monday in your workplace in Troas, better known as Troy, the day after you gathered with other Christians to break bread, hear a long sermon and witness what happened with Eutychus. What do you hear others say? What do you add?
• Any time the church is gathered, worshipers may be lulled to sleep or wakened to new life, may be lost or brought back. How have you been a part of one or the other of these outcomes?
