We are just two weeks away from Pastor Curtis preaching his first message as the Lead Pastor of Severns Valley. To say we’re excited would be an understatement. We can’t wait for him to get here and to see what God has in store for Severns Valley. You won’t want to miss Nov. 1st. Be sure and make plans to be here in person if you’re able. If not, we will continue to broadcast online and via Cable TV so you won’t miss his first Sunday.

We want to welcome Pastor Curtis, Tracy and the boys well. One way we can do that is by writing them a note of encouragement and to bless them with a gift card. This is a tradition and one that really blesses our new ministers as they transition into ministry here at Severns Valley. Many of you brought notes and cards last week. It’s not too late to bring yours to church or grab a card and envelope by the return basket in the Worship Center lobby. We will be collecting the notes and gift cards and present them to Pastor Curtis and Tracy on Nov. 1st. You can bring them to church on Sunday or to the church office throughout the week. Thank you for helping us to welcome them well.

When you are registering for a seat for worship don't forget to register your children for SVKids to ensure they have a spot during the service as well. In the event that a room becomes full kids are always welcome to attend the service with you in the Worship Center and you can also take advantage of our overflow area where you can watch the service from screens around the room.

Hometouch is a ministry to connect people who are unable to attend church in person. If you or someone you know would benefit from this ministry please email emory@sv.church or call 270.765.7822. There are two ways that you can volunteer. 1) Adopt one of our members who are at home or in a Long Term care facility. You would reach out to them at least once a month by visiting, phoning or sending cards. 2) Doing small home projects for our elderly members.

The best way to stay connected with our church family is by being involved in a Small Group. While our groups are still meeting Virtually, it is a great way to meet new people and when we are able, you can join your small group in person when they meet.

Please continue to pray for our national, state and local leaders, our Staff and Church Council, Pastor Curtis and his family, our church members, and those attending and watching our services who are new to SV. We are praying for you! Let us know if you need anything or if we can pray with you in any way. 🙏🏻
