Notes
You’re invited to join us this weekend for our School of Performing Arts recitals! We will have five recitals to showcase the work of our students: Friday at 5:00p & 7:00p, and then Saturday at 10:00a, 1:00p, and 3:00p.
As we announced a few weeks ago, please mark your calendar for a special worship ministry end-of-the-year banquet in the Fellowship Hall on Monday evening, December 18. I think this will be something different that we’ll all enjoy, getting to eat and fellowship together (and have a little fun, of course).
Reminder: our Christmas worship service is Sunday evening, December 10. In addition to that evening, the only other extra time commitments for you will be two extended Wednesday rehearsals on November 29 and December 6. Please plan to stay until 8:00 on those two evenings.

An Extra
Singing the song "Holy Holy Holy” on Sunday is a great reminder for us to think about God’s otherness, that is, the fact that God is qualitatively different than everything else in all of creation. Sometimes, we talk about this as God’s transcendence.
Here’s a short, helpful explainer video about this quality of God through the lens of “Divine Infinity.” Check it out for a brief Thursday theology lesson!
