World Communion Sunday

Today we celebrate communion along with millions of other believers as part of World Communion Sunday.  This month’s offering goes to Once More Ministries, which gives out free toiletries to the community four times a year. Be sure to pick up your individually-packaged elements in each worship space. If you are worshipping with us online, we encourage you to prepare your elements there at home.

 

Baptism Classes

Our next baptismal service will be on Sunday, October 30. If you would like to be baptized, or would like to learn more about this step of obedience, attend the class today at 11:00 am in M31.

 

Kids Choir

Kids Choir offers kids in grades 1-5 a chance to learn more about music and worship, and use their energy to sing and move to the glory of God!  We resume today in the Choir Room at 11:00 am.

 

Messenger Newsletter

The October edition of our church newsletter is available today in the lobbies, or online HERE. The Messenger contains an article from Pastor Jody, event information, ministry highlights, and more.

 

Night of Worship

Tonight (Sunday, October 2) we will meet in the Baker Center at 6:30 pm to join together in praise to our God.

 

Serve with the After-School Program

Our After-School Program begins tomorrow, October 3.  This ministry allows us to care for kids from Ben Chambers Elementary School. We are able to provide for some of their most basic needs and to show the love of Jesus in that effort.  To be ready for the new season of ministry, we need Tutors (to help kids with their homework) to help weekly on Monday or Tuesday from 4:45-6:00 pm.  We also need Cooks and Helpers to serve monthly on Monday or Tuesday from 4-7:00 pm.

Consider taking a one-time “test drive” of this area of ministry to see what it’s like to help a child complete their homework, or to make a nourishing meal for them.  If you can serve or would like to take a test drive, contact Jeanie Helman.

 

Child Dedication Classes

Child dedication is an opportunity for parents to make a public commitment to raise their children in the love and nurture of the Lord. If you’d like to participate in our dedication on November 6, attend a preparation class on Sunday, October 9 or Sunday, October 23 at 11 am, upstairs in M221. Questions, contact Becky Hann, Director of Children’s Ministries.

 

Basketball Outreach

Teams are now forming for church league basketball for guys in grades 9-12.  Sign-ups will be offered during the Open Gym nights in the Baker Center at 5:30 pm beginning on Thursday, October 13. If you know of a young person who might enjoy being in the basketball league, encourage them to come out.

 

Lunch Lessons with Pastor Jody

You’re invited to Lunch Lessons with Pastor Jody on Thursday, October 13, from 12-1:00 pm in the Fellowship Room. Take a break in the middle of a busy week to have a quiet lunch with our pastor where you can focus on Christ and the Christian life. This fall Pastor Jody will lead in a discussion about the book of Revelation.  We need everyone to pre-register HERE so that we can plan.  Bring your own lunch, or purchase a Chick-Fil-A sandwich ($5) or salad ($10) through the church.  Those ordering lunch must register by noon on Tuesday, October 11.

 

Surviving the Holidays

Wondering how you will survive the weeks surrounding Thanksgiving and Christmas? Are you dreading these holidays, knowing that everything has changed and that happy memories from past years can’t be recreated? Our Surviving the Holidays seminar will be offered on from 2-4:00 pm in the Choir Room (M7) on the lower level. It is especially for people who are
grieving a loved one’s death. In the past participants have shared that this event has been incredibly helpful. You’ll learn:

• How to deal with the many emotions you’ll face during the holidays
• What to do about traditions and other coming changes
• Helpful tips for surviving social events
• How to discover hope for your future

To help us plan, register HERE or contact Molly Shull.
