Order of Worship - February 7, 2016 Welcome to the Mt. Airy Family!

Welcome to the Mt. Airy Family!
We are thrilled to have you as our guest today! If you are
looking for "a family of friends" you'll find them at Mt.
Airy. I would like to personally invite you to two important things that our church offers. First, we offer small
group Bible studies for all ages. Our BSF, or Bible Study
Fellowship classes, meet every Sunday at 8:30am and
9:45am. We would love to have you join us next Sunday.
Second, I would like to meet you at the end of the service.
Please stop by and say “hello.” Thank you for investing
your time with us today. I hope to see you again next
week! Your Friend and Pastor,

Opportunities of the Week
Sunday
On Sunday afternoon, February 21, Mt. Airy is hosting a church safety and
security training event for several churches in the Piedmont Baptist Association.
The training is from 2:00-5:00pm and will be held in either Building A or the LC
(depending on advance sign ups). The topics covered in this training include
children ministry issues, the need for safety teams and equipment, suspicious
activity, and emergency response training, among others.
This training is open to anyone interested, but is especially designed to help
educate safety teams, medical teams, ushers, greeters, child care workers, golf
cart drivers, parking lot workers and volunteers. If your ministry is in one of
these areas, your participation is highly encouraged. Please sign up on one of
the sign-up sheets located throughout the church buildings. The last day to
sign up is February 14.
