ANNOUNCEMENTS 

Pastor Appreciation Month / During a church anniversary celebration, a pastor overheard a group discussing various congregational leaders over the years. His ears perked up when an older member said, “Whenever someone asks which of our pastors I liked best, my answer is always, ‘The one we have at any given time is my favorite.’” What a relief for the pastor to hear — and what a great lesson for Pastor Appreciation Month. God sends each shepherd to us with a specific set of spiritual gifts and then works through those gifts to bless us. Please let our pastors know how much you appreciate them and pray for them. 

Second Sunday Socials / Please join us after the second service TODAY for a time of food and fellowship in the basement social hall. We ask that you bring a dish to share (no nuts please). Drinks and tableware will be provided. It is a great time to get to know new people and reconnect with old friends 

Gathering Table / Join us for a fun and relaxed women’s event filled with snacks, laughs, and friendly conversation! Friday, October 16 at 6:30pm. No need to RSVP! But if you would like to bring an item to help fill our charcuterie board, please sign up in the Welcome Center. 

Awana Outdoor Adventure / Explore 4 short caves at the rock-climbing area of McConnell’s Mill State Park on Saturday October 17. This is a unique area with a maze of cliffs, caves and secret passages. You get the feeling that you are entering a “lost world” like in the Jurassic Park movie.

Baptism / We plan to have a baptism service on Sunday, October 25. If you are interested in being baptized, please call the church office and/or contact Pastor Jeremy.
