We hope that your week is been a blast so far! School is beginning,
college students are back on campus, the weather is cool, and the
Patriots are less than two weeks from their first game. Conclusion:
Summer is pretty much over. But that doesn't mean there aren't reasons
to be excited!

With September comes a number of changes on Sunday mornings for us this
year:

- Time - We are pushing everything a half an hour earlier. So we'll
study together at 9:30 AM for Sunday School and worship together at
10:30 AM.
- Children's Sunday School - The children are splitting into two groups
for Sunday School, one for older and one for younger. For now (until
the new partition arrives), the older children will meet in the Newell
Gathering Room and the younger children will meet in the kitchen.
- Adult Sunday School - The adults will move up to the sanctuary for
Sunday School. (Remember, at 9:30 now!)Partition Update
We're almost able to purchase the new partition! We need a total of
$1965 and we're at $1800. Almost there...

This week's American Idol
We'll be looking this week at "legislative morality." Those are two big
words, I know! "Legislative" is basically a word that
means "law-making." And morality is of course discussion about what is
right concerning living life. It's certain that the Church, by the Holy
Spirit, acts as prophet to the world in all things, including living
morally. And while having expectations that the society in which we
live could begin to live up to these morals, the church in the United
States often takes it to an unhealthy level. Basically: We seem to
imply that legislating morality is what's most important, when really,
what we believe is that it's God, in Christ, who makes true change in
human beings. This is what we'll explore this week.
