If you are looking for a church home, we hope you will consider becoming a part of our church. If you would like to join our church, please call the church office at 336-924-8063. Before the service speak to the Lord; during the service let the Lord speak to you; and after the service speak to one another. We hope you experience God’s blessing in your time with us today and throughout this week. We also hope you will return and worship with us again. Chancel Flowers The arrangement in the sanctuary is given to the glory of God with the red bows representing the love of Jesus in our hearts and the love for our family and friends; and the lights are for the memories of those watching over us from above, by Doris Snyder and Josh Snyder.

Safe Sanctuary Screenings – Sunday, March 5th Due to Provincial directives, each congregation in the Southern Province has been charged with implementing a Safe Sanctuary Policy. This policy ensures the safety of children, youth and vulnerable adults in our congregation. As part of the Safe Sanctuary Policy, anyone who works with children/youth (other than Provincial employees and those who already had a screening in order to work at Laurel Ridge) will need to have a screening. This includes all Nursery volunteers, Children’s Church volunteers, Sunday School Teachers, Youth Workers, Youth Choir/Handbell Directors…anyone who works with kids. Unfortunately, the results of screenings that school teachers have already done are not available to us, so we must do another one. Gary Stilley will be at Olivet on Sunday, March 5th after the worship service to conduct the Safe Sanctuary Screenings. Gary coming to Olivet will save everyone from going downtown to have their screening. Any questions, please contact Evie Blum PRAYER CONCERNS: Lori Barnett, Eddie Beroth, JD Beroth, Charles Binkley, Sheila Binkley, Sherry Caudle, Betsy Harper, Leslie Myers, Emily Norman, Pamela Padgett, Marie Presson, Bill Smith, Janet Smith, Jerry Smith, Wilma Tally, Amanda Zaski Homebound / Shut-In / Nursing Care / Limited Activity: Shirley Athan, Ruth Beeding, Vernice Beroth, Jr., Eugene Bigham, Thelma Boose, Gladys Doub, Ileana Drake, Ila Frye, Eleanor McGee, Marie Presson, Jack Queen, Betty Shropshire, Melbadene Smith, Wilma Sprinkle, Ruth Trogdon, Bill & Vivian Voss How We Came and Gave Last Sunday Worship Attendance: 147 Sunday School Attendance: 57 2017 Church Budget: $346,194.00 Year to Date Contributions: $35,218.46 Needed Weekly to Meet Budget: $6,657.57 Offering Last Sunday: $10,626.00
