Indianapolis Ave, Tulsa, OK 74112 Phone 918-744-1377 Fax 744-1379 web: www.escc.org email: [email protected] Today’s Reading from Scripture Psalm 8 Announcements for Sunday, November 16, 2014 We give a warm East Side welcome to our guests today, the Will Rogers College High School Cheer Team! G@A, brilliant Lord, yours is a household name. Nursing infants gurgle choruses about you; toddlers shout the songs That drown out enemy talk, and silence atheist babble. 2 I look up at your macro-skies, dark and enormous, your handmade sky-jewelry, Moon and stars mounted in their settings. Then I look at my micro-self and wonder, Why do you bother with us? Why take a second look our way? 3-4 Yet we’ve so narrowly missed being gods, bright with Eden’s dawn light. You put us in charge of your handcrafted world, repeated to us your Genesis-charge, Made us lords of sheep and cattle, even animals out in the wild, Birds flying and fish swimming, whales singing in the ocean deeps. CWF Circle 6 meets tomorrow at 6 PM in the Parlor. All ladies are welcome! This Thursday, November 20, will be the next Service Day to assemble and tie quilts for Emergency Infant Services. Plan to meet in the Quilters room from 10-2. The Service Day team will take December off and resume in January. Kids Night Out Classic Klub aka K.N.O.C.K. night, is Friday, Nov. 21. If you would like to make a reservation for your youngster(s), please let the office know by Wednesday. This year’s turkey drive is a goal of 20 turkeys for needy families of WRHS students. Can you help? See Evan or check the newsletter for more info. 5-8 9 G@A, brilliant Lord, your name echoes around the world. The Message version Church Staff Rev.
