ANNOUNCEMENTS
– NOVEMBER 16
We welcome all visitors with us this
morning; we hope you will feel the warmth of God’s love through our
fellowship, and that you will return again soon. Please join us for
refreshments following worship and remember to sign our guest book located near
the front entrance. Everyone is invited to sign the “Friendship
Folders” in the pews; pass them to your neighbor; and, upon their return,
greet all by name who have signed.
There
is a box for prayer requests located at the front Parish Hall door.
Cassette audiotapes of Sunday services
are available for use. They can
be checked out from the carousel on the table in the anteroom. Please sign out
each tape when borrowed, and sign it back in when returned.
Childcare is provided for infants and toddlers in the nursery. Parents are encouraged to take advantage of this service.

Community
Thanksgiving Celebration
The
Hamptons Interfaith Council will hold an Ecumenical Thanksgiving Service next
Sunday, November 23rd at 7 PM, here at the Westhampton Presbyterian
Sanctuary. Ann Heil McAnelly will preach.
Seeker’s Class
Planned…
The
Seeker’s Class is an opportunity for you to learn more about Westhampton
Presbyterian Church and what it means to be a Christian in the Presbyterian and
Reformed Tradition. Offered
periodically, it is a good way to explore the faith and ministry we share and to
become involved. It meets three
times as we explore what being Presbyterian means, how the church runs, and the
ministry and mission we do.
The
next Seeker’s Class will be held Sunday, November 16, for three-Sunday
mornings at 11:15 am. The Class is a
time to explore how we live our faith today and does not mean a commitment to
becoming a WPC member at the end. WPC maintains both a list of members and a
list of friends of the church. If
you would like to attend the Seeker’s Class or would like more information,
contact Pastor Peter after worship or call: 288-2576.

is a video/discussion study. Six

God has for us when we face these tough issues and situations.

Do I Know What to Do?

You’re So Good Why Are Things So Awful?
