John, Thelma Penner

Brian, Angie, Erica, Audrey Plutat
Karen, Lindsay, Caitlen Podell
Roland, Betty, Paul, Tim Pohlman

Rick, Elaine, Erin, Brittany Ponder
Otis, Barbara Porter
J FAMILY
FRIENDLY IDEA
J Expect your
children to be full participants in the worship service - Our Sunday
morning worship service is not something geared only for adults. Rather, it is
a time for the whole church (young and old alike) to come together to worship
the Lord. Babies and toddlers learn to worship the Lord by sitting quietly.
Younger children worship by sitting still, listening, and learning the songs
and hymns. As children get older, they begin to understand God’s word, and
benefit from the teaching.
FROM
OUR PARISH NURSE
Plan to attend the
program “Healthy Body, Healthy Mind,
Healthy Spirit”, Monday, September 29th at 7:00 PM in the Adult Education
Room. Ginny Hingst is the presenter.
On the table near the Welcome Center is a handout entitled “A Weigh to Measure Your Health”. Pick up a copy.
FALL WORK
AROUND THE CHURCH DAY
Everyone is invited for the fall work
around the church and school day this Saturday, October 4th ,
9:00AM-1:00PM. Work will be done to beautify the
landscape and complete a few indoor tasks as well. Pizza will be
provided for lunch. This might be a fun family activity.
Contact Kristin Lossing or a Board of Property member for more
details.
WATCH #5
We Are The CHurch is a
spiritual renewal weekend designed to further your relationship with God and
other Christians. It is a rare opportunity to escape from the temptations and
traps of the world. WATCH #5 will take place October 10-12 at Sangralea Valley.
Register by filling out a lunar blue form and place it in the lunar blue box
marked WATCH at the Welcome Center. Deadline for registration: Sunday, October 5.
A common question asked about WATCH: Do I need to register before the WATCH weekend? Registration
helps us understand who is planning to come, identify special needs
and helps us plan for food and supplies. We ask that you sign up as
individuals. Couples wishing to go together may but should understand that this
is not a marriage retreat. Women and men will be sleeping separately and
couples will be put in different small groups. Each individual should fill out
his or her own form. You will receive a confirmation letter. If you have
registered and not received a confirmation, please contact Pastor Akers at church (453-0969)
or Gene Miller (453-3636).
Next week's question: What should I wear and what do I bring?
CONTEMPORARY
READERS FOR OCTOBER
October 5 – Dan & Beth Dinkel
October 19 – Gary & Karen Jewell
STEWARDS LIVING A GOD-PLEASING
LIFE
This year's stewardship
theme is STEWARDS LIVING A GOD-PLEASING
LIFE. We have been "created in Christ Jesus to do good
works, which God prepared in advance for us to do" (Ephesians
2:10). Together we'll learn how God not
only prepares the work we are to do, but prepares and equips us, His stewards,
to do that work.
Be sure to join your
brothers and sisters in Christ as we study God's Word to find how we can be STEWARDS LIVING A GOD-PLEASING LIFE. Both our worship and Bible study will focus
on the following themes:
10-12-08 FAITH
IS THE FOUNDATION
10-19-08 DISCIPLESHIP
IS THE PATH
10-26-08 GENEROSITY
IS THE HALLMARK
It is our prayer that each
of us will be overwhelmed again and again at the grace of God which has created
us, saved us, and daily offers us forgiveness and strength to be stewards who
please Him.
Commitment Sunday is October 26, 2008, which will be a day of
joyful response to that grace of God.
Please make every effort to attend both worship services and Bible
studies during this program and prayerfully consider your privileges and
responsibilities as God's stewards.
