Chinese Auction

RESERVE THIS DATE!!!

Friday, September 28, 2001

The Chinese Auction is at the end of this month - September 28! We are hoping to have another successful auction.  With your help and support, we will!  The generous support of the congregation in donating items is the reason we have a great auction!  So please help us again this year!  Look for bargains or get ideas from the gift tree and bring your donations to the church office.  Or if you don’t like to shop, you can donate and we’ll do the shopping for you!  The proceeds will be going to our Restoration Committee and the Parlor Fund.  We will also need baked goods donated on the day of the auction.

Thanks in advance for all your help!

Linda Beckerdite & Diane Weyer

 

 

Ways to Keep
Growing Your Faith

1. Think about what is closest to your heart. Pray to God, offering that place to Him. Psalm 103

2. In faith, come into God’s presence with praise. Psalm 100:4

3. Present your greatest difficulty, your most persistent struggle to the Lord. Ask God to be speaking to you there.

4. Think about a place where you meet God. Cultivate and protect that place.

5. Remember what it was like when you first knew the Lord. Spend time with Him as you did at first.

If you desire the fragrance of God, you must linger with God.

(From May/June issue of Pray!)

 

 

New Members

We will be receiving new members into our family on

Sunday, October 28th.

In preparation for membership Pastor Rich will be holding two orientation meetings on

Monday, October 15th and 22nd at 7:30 p.m.

If YOU are interested in joining or learning more about our church family please call the church office at 828-0020.

How does one become a member?

There are three ways one can
become a member of our family:

Confession of faith - for someone who has never made a confession in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior;

Reaffirmation of faith - for someone who has made a confession either in the Roman Catholic church or did so some time ago and doesn’t have an active letter of membership in any church;

Transfer of letter from another
Christian church.

 

 

Give Thanks

We can express our gratitude to God in many ways - by verbally thanking, by praising in song, by carefully using, by sharing and by giving an offering.

By bringing your tithes and offering you are telling God in a concrete way that you appreciate all God has done for you and given you.

Your faithful giving is necessary if we hope to cancel the church’s $31,307.98 deficit that we have as of July 31.
