On Sunday, November 15th we will celebrate the 194th Anniversary of our church!  And what better way to celebrate than to welcome New Members to our FSA family?  We invite you to join with Rev. Dr. Joshua Lawrence, our Minister of Worship & Congregational Life, for this special service of celebration.  Our Scripture Reader this morning will be Emma Dickson who will read Judges 4: 1-7.  Pastor Joshua will preach a sermon entitled “Changing Worlds, Changing Lives,” which is based on 1 Thessalonians 5: 1-11.

Our Reverberations youth choir has been hard at work, under the direction of Minister of Music, Chris Fischer.  This week they are delighted to present two selections.  The Gathering/Candle Lighting music will be a Traditional Nigerian piece entitled "Aleluya yin Oluwa."  It will be sung in Yoruba and English.  Our Musical Reflection will be Simon Pearson's arrangement of “Chosen Family” by Rina Sawayama.  Reverberations thanks Kevin Tran for accompanying them on the piano.  Our adult choir will sing our Musical Offering “Crowded Table,” arranged by Andrea Ramsey.  Margaret Trethewey will join this anthem on flute.  Sunday's congregational hymns will be TLUS #138 “Let’s Go Together,” TLUS #57 “We Wait for God” and VU #288 “Great Is Thy Faithfulness.”  We are grateful to guitarists Roland Beach & Barrie Evans for sharing their music with us this week.
