October’s Moving Forward

Pastor Appreciation is on October 12th!  Pastor Biar and family have been here for five years now! The time has just flown. They came as a family of two and now are a family of four.  Let’s show the Pastor how much he is appreciated! There will be a basket for cards in the Fellowship Hall. 

The second weekend of November is the annual craft fair. LWML is looking for a couple of people that can help set up before and tear down Saturday afternoon of the event. This event is a BIG thing for the ladies of our congregation. Please volunteer or if not that, join us at the fair and find a couple of the Christmas gifts you need to buy this year. Contact Tami Woods, or Mary Lint if you have any questions or if you would like to help in any way with the fair. Remember that many hands make for little work. If helping others was easy and convenient, your help would not be a blessing.

We are also getting ready for the Voters meeting in December. This time of year is always full of meetings and budget talks. Along with the election of all the council and Elder positions we are also looking for more people to step up and help with Media, Ushering and Altar Guild. This is the time of year where all of us need to look inside of ourselves and say, “WHAT CAN I DO FOR JESUS AND FOR THE CHURCH”? Hymn #827 “Hark, the voice of Jesus Calling” says in Verse 1, “Who will answer gladly saying, “Here am I, send me, send me.”                               

Now that the heat of summer is gone, let’s talk about having an outside workday at the church on October 25th at 9 AM. There is still some painting, patching of concrete cracks, painting of the door at RTG, trees to be removed and tree branches that need to be taken care of. Also the usual yard work and washing windows.

May the cooler days of Autumn give relief from the heat and a smile on your face. Smiling is contagious. Share your smile with others and let the world see the Son’s light. 

October 27th Sheila B’s anniversary for playing organ at the church – please be sure to thank her for the beautiful music she brings to us each service! 

Craft Fair Nov 7 & 8; please reach out to Tami Woods and/or Mary Lint to help and/or participate in the fair! Need people to help to set up and take down, please!

THE PRAYER: Heavenly Father, give us voices that by your words we may find those that need the light of Jesus in their lives. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
