ANNOUNCEMENTS
Onward in October 2013:  Our Sunday School teachers invite you to come to Sunday School every week at 9:30.  October is a great time to remember good study habits:  be on time for class, bring your Bible and offering to class, and bring a friend to class as we learn together.  Let’s make a renewed effort to learn and apply our Bibles at Sunday School, with Pre-School through Adult classes available!

Check out “Ask the Pastor” on Friday, October 18th at 2:00 pm (TCT Network and Dish Network channel 26, DirecTV does not carry the program), as Derek tries to make good use of this special opportunity.  “Ask the Pastor” is a live call-in program with a panel of five area pastors answering viewer questions about life and the Bible from the Bible.

The church’s financial statement for September 2013 is posted
 for review in the officer over the copy machine.
