This Sunday we install our new council office-bearers during the worship service. We welcome the new
members of elder and deacons and express our gratitude to out-going council members for their term of
service.

Malachi. This week the text is Malachi 3: 6 -12 concentrating on the proper spirit in which to give our
tithes and offerings. The song of response is “God, Whose Giving Knows No Ending.” We close our
service with “We Give Thee But Thine Own.”
