"A body of believers bound together by our love for Jesus Christ and his Word, reflecting God's love, grace and truth"
Our HarvestCall collection
is scheduled for this Sunday and next. HarvestCall is responsible for many ministries in the US, Haiti, Jamaica, Mexico, Europe, Japan and several other countries where student education is sponsored. The undesignated donations we receive from church collections and individual donations are needed to fund approximately 41% of the needs of these ministries (roughly $4,000,000). The remainder is funded through designated donations. As of mid-September, our unrestricted donations are 35% below the prior three year average. Your generous support is greatly needed.
Sunday Snacks
- Looking for volunteers (one couple per Sunday) to manage set up and cleanup of our pre-packaged snack and waters. All food items and a short how- to list provided. Call Wendy K. to sign up at 273-1576.
FAMILY PICNIC 2020
will be held today at KA from 5:00-7:30. This will be primarily an outside event with KA restrooms open for your convenience. Bring your own blanket or chairs for seating as well as your own picnic dinner and drinks to share only with your family.
Pre-packaged ice cream desserts will be provided. In the past if you have provided a cornhole set for the picnic, please bring it! A variety of outdoor games will be available as well as the playset. Agenda for the evening is included as an attachment to the e-mail. Come enjoy an evening of fellowship with hopeful distancing in the beautiful outdoors.
Monthly Monday night prayer
time will be tomorrow, September 14th . Quiet time/personal prayers from 7-7:30 pm and group prayer 7:30-8:15pm; all in the SS assembly. For those vulnerable or not feeling well are encouraged to pray at home. Masks are optional, depending on your comfort level. We will have someone at the door to let people in from 7 – 7:35. After 7:35 the doors will be locked and unattended.
We are looking at adding several facilitators for Prayer Night. Facilitating Prayer Night consists of writing prayer requests on the board and keep the night flowing in an orderly fashion. Could be a brother or sister. Our goal would be to have at least six (6) so the max anyone would facilitate would be twice annually. If interested please contact Tim Drayer.
SOS
will be having a fall party at Ouabache state park this Wednesday evening at 7:00. Please dress accordingly for outdoor activities and a bonfire. Meet at the park entrance to get shuttled in if you prefer. We will meet at the baseball diamond. If you have any questions please contact anyone on the SOS committee.
