ANNOUNCEMENTSLadies Bible Study is gearing up to resume its fall schedule later this month. Alice is planning to lead the group through a series of midweek studies on Mark’s gospel. If you’re looking for more study, encouragement, and prayer in your life, consider joining this group.

Choir practice at the church at 6:00 pm.

Bible Study & Prayer Meeting at 7:00 pm. Join us as we wrap up our study of James. One the 23rd, we’re planning to turn our attention to 1 Corinthians. It’ll be a new format (prepared study guides) for a new season of study. It’s a great time to join us!

Sunday, September 20th

Saturday, October 17th
Fall Work Day starting at 9:00 am! Raking, cleaning gutters, drains flushed, window washing, fellowship hall floor washed, and whatever else needs sprucing up!

September is a month of milestone birthdays! Frank Gruppo turns 93 on the 16th, Beulah Beaver turns 101 on the 20th, and Evelyn Falk turns 98 on the 30th. Let’s remember these faithful friends with prayers, cards, and flowers.

Get the most out of the services 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.
