ANNOUNCEMENTS
November 15, 2014
1. Welcome to the church on the mountain! Today we continue our focus on Growing
Our Identity with the second of a three part series on end-time events. May the Lord bless
and strengthen you as we examine the “Adventist” in Seventh-day Adventist.
2. TLC meets each Wednesday at 7:00 pm, downstairs in the church library. Come and
visit, pray and discuss God’s Word with your church family in a warm, informal setting.
3. TIME CHANGE! With the daylight saving hours now in effect, we are shifting the Bible
study class time and AY time to earlier in the afternoon. For those who participate in bible
study class and the AY program we will have a light lunch following divine service from
1pm to 2pm. Immediately after that we will go into our Bible study class from 2pm - 3pm
and close with AY from 3pm - 4pm. We are asking afternoon participants to bring a food
item for our light lunch, and of course our visitors are more than welcome to join!!
4. The Social Committee invites you to its annual movie night. Come out on November 22,
2014 after AY. Free Pop-corn!! Other refreshments will be on sale. Bring your friends and
family. You'll be glad you came.
5. Prayer & Fasting will take place starting Sabbath Nov 22, 2014 for all those who are
looking to clear their heads and hearts of the deadly distractions of this world. We will be
doing away with all "Media" (eg. Internet, social sites, video games, TV, CD player, ipod,
etc.) for the day, or even a week to focus on our connections to Christ. With all the "noise"
in our lives being removed we will have more "quiet" time to spend strengthening that
bond. "The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth." Ps 45:18
6. Important Announcement Regarding Senior’s Sabbath, November 29: Please note,
fellowship lunch following worship is being extended to the entire church family and
guests. Join our Conference president for lunch after he leads us in worship at the end of
this month.
7. November 29th 2014 is Seniors Day! Guest Speaker: Conference President, Pastor
Mansfield Edwards. After lunch there will be a work shop on fraud and safety
education presented by the Hamilton Police Constable Baughn Chisholm at 3 pm..
8. "The holiday season is fast approaching and two of the best things to do around such a
time is spend time with those you love and share good eats. Are you struggling with what
to bake this year as guests come to your home over the season? Well, have no fear
Christmas Delights baking demo is here, just in time to share how to bake delectable
bake goods for this time of year. Come check it out on tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. in the
fellowship hall at 284 Concession St.
You don't want to miss it, and spaces are limited. To register please call 905-581-9475 or
email hmsda.health@gmail.com. Also check us out at www.community-connect.org. The

Blessings!!"

9. SOCIAL COMMITTEE: The end of the year is fast approaching and the Social
Committee presents our 2nd annual end of year banquet "A Black Tie Affair". On
December 7, 2014 at Michelangelo Events & Conference Centre, 1555 Upper
Ottawa St, Hamilton, ON, there will be a Formal Banquet commencing at
7:00PM, with Hors d’oeuvres at 6:00PM. For further information on ticket prices,

or reid.pauline@gmail.com. Plan to be there: You won't regret it!
10. Our Community Services Department is participating with Mission Services in
their Special Items Drive. With winter fast approaching, we are looking to assist them
with new scarves, hats, gloves, and very gently used winter coats. If you are able to
hand make any items by knitting or crochet to add a personal touch would also be
greatly appreciated! May God bless us as we endeavour to reach out to the community
with this special project
11. ATTENTION Hamilton Mountain! Do you want to truly make a difference in your
church? Do you welcome an opportunity to enrich the lives of others? If so, Hamilton
Mtn SDA now has a new committee designed to help us serve one another in areas of
need called the “Our Church Cares Committee”. We need your help to make this
endeavor a great success! If you are interested in giving back to your church in any
capacity, or in need of any assistance, please speak to Olia or Aliana Griffith for details
or leave a message at the church.
12. Reminder: please remember that the local running of our church is funded only by
your donations to our local budget and/or building fund. Tithe does not cover the
costs of our utility bills, building maintenance, or related loan payments. When you
return your tithe please remember to add an offering for our local church funds.
Health Corner: If you crave chocolate, it doesn’t mean your body has a chocolate
deficiency! Chocolate is high in magnesium. Cravings for it often indicate that your
body could be deficient in magnesium, or you are experiencing hormonal changes or
could be due to low blood sugar levels. Before you satisfy cravings, drink a tall glass of
pure water. Quite often we misinterpret our body’s signal for thirst as a signal of
hunger. By drinking a tall glass of water first, you may be giving your body exactly
what it wants and alleviate the craving. Some experts estimate that 75% of the
population is chronically dehydrated, so starting with water is a good idea before you
try to decipher your cravings.
