Sunday School 9:30 am • Family Worship Service 10:45 am
Wait in Prayer        Worship in Reverence        Depart to Serve
Be mindful that the few minutes before the service are set aside to help prepare for worship.  Some use this time to pray or meditate on the call to worship or just be quiet before the Lord.  Let’s keep our visiting before the service to a minimum
 – or better, let’s wait until after the service.

Announcements

Next week is the Eden United Methodist Church’s “Crop Walk” to help support the Eden/North Collins Food Pantry and to fight world hunger.  See brochures in back for details.

Tonight is our final Sunday Night Out for the season.  Gather at the Doles’ pond around 4:00 pm for a summer-end burger bar.  Bring a dish to pass.

Next week we will celebrate the Lord’s Supper.  If you would like to participate but are unable to be here, see Derek or one of the Elders to arrange another time.  Don’t be shy about taking full advantage of this important gesture of unity with Christ and his body.  A fellowship meal following the service IS scheduled.

Calendar

Monday, September 25th
AA meets downstairs from 8:00-9:15 pm.

Wednesday, September 27th
Bible study and prayer meets at the church at 7:00 pm.  Only one week remains in our study of Genesis!  We’re summarizing and reviewing the book’s great themes but are already looking to our new study in the NT book of Luke beginning October 8th.  It’s a great time to join us.

• On Wednesday, October 4th, Derek has been invited to sit on a panel to discuss the opiate problem in our communities and churches.  Dr. Paul Updike, Medical Director of Addiction and Pain Services at Catholic Health, is the guest speaker.  The First Church of Evans is hosting this timely discussion at 7:00 pm in the Community House.

Sunday, October 1st
3DYouth gets back on track next week with a “reach out” activity involving go-carts and miniature golf.  Details to come.

Sunday, October 8th
3DYouth meets here at 6:00 pm for life lessons from the Psalms followed by activities and refreshments.

Get the most out of the service by asking about our special listening devices.  Pick up one in the back or see an usher for help.  If yours isn’t working properly, don’t be bashful about raising your hand to ask for assistance.
