Worship Notes
The prelude for second service is played by Spencerville member, Cory Shim. Cory is a student at
University of Maryland where he studies piano performance.
It is a special blessing to have Melville Moses Andrade return to sing in our services. Melville is a
Seventh-day Adventist minister, serving several churches in Pennsylvania.
During the second worship service this morning, Clint and Sangeeta Oommen will be dedicating
their daughter, Amelia Shakeela Oommen. “We want to thank God for this great joy that He has given
us. As Amelia grows and makes her journey through life, there will be many paths that she can choose to
travel, but only one that she ought too. So today we dedicate ourselves to teaching her the word of God
and raising her in Christ until such a day that she can dedicate herself to Him.”
