Friday Fives

1. Preaching Series - This week we are continuing our preaching series focusing on the importance of making daily time for prayer. Sunday we will look at prayer through the lenses of removing barriers. I hope to see all of you there!

2. October Newsletter Articles - If you have an item that you would like to put in the October edition of the Sunshine Herald, please have those in the office to Carole by this Sunday, September 19th.

3. Fish Fry – Our Boy Scout Troop will be holding their annual Fish Fry this Saturday, 9/18, from 1-6pm. I encourage you to come on over to the church and buy your lunch and/or dinner and show your support for our troop. I had some last year and it was delicious!

4. Salty Service - A few months back I asked everyone to consider joining up together in groups to venture out and visit some of the residents in the many assisted living and rehab facilities around our church. There are many people there that get no visitors, and we are so good with fellowship, I see a need and a spiritual gift that can easily be paired up. I wanted to give everyone an update on how this budding ministry is progressing. We have one member that has reached out and has began weekly visits and we have another that is in the process of beginning. We have several contacts at area facilities, all we need is volunteers. Many people make light work. If you are willing to spend just a few hours a month visiting with people and sharing the love of Christ please contact the office and we can help you get connected. Please consider reaching out to the people in our area and let them know we care and in the name of Jesus Christ that they are loved.

5. Ocala Health and Rehab – This Sunday, 9/19, is our monthly visit to Ocala Health and Rehab. Everyone is invited to come on over to the facility and join us as we gather with the residents to worship God. We begin by singing a few 'ol gospel tunes, I give a rendition of that week's sermon, we pray, and then we sing some more. The residents love it, we love it, and I know you will love to be a part of it too. If you have the time, we would love to have you!
