Wednesday Night Book Study begins October 7 at 6:45 PM: Plan now to attend a six-week study on Dan Boone’s book, “Charitable Discourse.” Pastor Vicki (later joined by Pastor Phil) will lead the study on this book that teaches us how to talk about the divisive issues of our day. More information and a sign-up list are at a table in the foyer.
Work Day, Saturday, October 10, 8:30 AM: Please plan to come and help us keep our church property properly maintained and looking good. Contact John Harms for more information.
During October we pause to express appreciation to our pastors for their care for us. It is difficult to adequately thank them for how selflessly and faithfully they offer their lives to us in ministry. No doubt throughout the year you express your gratitude. However, please take advantage of this special window to say an extra thank you, stop and pray with a pastor, send a note saying how much they mean to you, and in other specific ways thank God for these dedicated servants. They continually exemplify to us of the love of God. The pastoral staff are listed on the last page of the bulletin. —Personnel Committee
