1. Preaching Series - This week we are beginning a new preaching series based on the Prayer of Jabez. We will spend the next four weeks breaking this two verse prayer apart to look at what it means to ask God: to bless us, to enlarge our territory, to be with us, and keep us from evil. I hope to see all of you there!
2. Pumpkins! – It is quickly approaching that time where our side yard is transformed into a pumpkin wonderland. We are having a workday to get ready for the pumpkins on October 6th at 9am and then our first shipment arrives on October 9th. If you can help us at either time it will be greatly appreciated. By the way it is also a huge amount of fun! Hope to see you there!
3. Bible Study – Have you ever wondered what it is that we as United Methodists believe? Would you like to learn more about our doctrines and traditions? If so, then join me on a five week study as we talk about how we as United Methodists understand:
- God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit
- Salvation and our theology
- our role in society and how we view current issues as a church
- the makeup and organization of the United Methodist Church
Whether you have been a United Methodist your entire life or just a few weeks, this study is for you. We will meet on Thursdays at 11am and 7pm in Fellowship Hall. It will run for 5 sessions: October 14, 21, 28 and November 4, 11 and the cost is free!
RSVP by calling the office at 629-5688 or by filling out the form in this week's bulletin and putting it in the offering plate. Hope to see you there!
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. Flu Shots – Sunday October 10th from 11:30am-1:30pm we will host a flu clinic here at the church. This week's bulletin has all the information as to the type of shots offered, the recommendation for which shot to get, as well as the cost. Be sure to check it out and make sure you get what you need. This is a wonderful ministry and one we are happy to be able to offer.
