SONG • John Huntoon
WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN (American Gospel)
THE FIRST READING • Steve Horn, Elder
EXODUS 13:20-22
They set out from Succoth and camped at Etham on the edge of the wilderness. The LORD went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to lead them on their way during the day and in a pillar of fire to give them light at night, so that they could travel day or night. The pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night never left its place in front of the people.
READING & LESSON • John Huntoon
WITNESS • LUKE 2:36-38
There was also a prophetess, Anna, a daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was well along in years, having lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, and was a widow for 84 years. She did not leave the temple complex, serving God night and day with fasting and prayers. At that very moment, she came up and began to thank God and to speak about Him to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.
CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER
The TIME OF PRAYER will end with the reciting of THE LORD’S PRAYER together.
Our Father, which art in heaven; Hallowed be Thy name,
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil,
For Thine is the Kingdom, the power & the glory forever. Amen.

Pastor Rick will teach each Sunday on the individual pieces of the ARMOR OF GOD mentioned by Paul in Ephesians 6:10-18. This series will be reflected in both the live worship services at 10am at Central, and on the Worship Podcasts each Sunday on YouTube.

November 14-17, 2024 | DEATHTRAP by Ira Levin
In this classic comedic thriller, a washed-up playwright finds a chance to rise to the top once more, a shot he’d be willing to kill for. Sidney Bruhl hasn’t written a hit play for 18 years when he receives a script from a former student that’s a guaranteed success. Sidney jokes to his wife that it’d be just as easy to murder the young man and steal the script for his own. Directed by Anderson theatre veteran, Andy Persinger, this sharply funny play is full of twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat, while laughing hysterically.
THE CAST
Sydney Bruhl – RICK VALE • Myra Bruhl – LISA FOSTER • Helga Ten Dorp – RHONDA TINCH-MIZE
Clifford Anderson – JUSTIN PANICO • Porter Milgrim – KEVIN WESTON
Tickets: $12 / Festival Seating • Performances at 7:00pm & 2:00pm
