Announcements

Trish Littler has been hospitalized, and her condition is deteriorating.  The CCCC/WNY region recommends that local churches take up a love offering for the Littlers as a gesture of support and to help defray medical expenses.  We’ll be receiving contributions marked “LITTLER LOVE GIFT”.

The church’s financial statements for July and August 2015 are posted for review in the office over the copy  machine.

Calendar
Wednesday, September 16th
Choir practice at 6:00 pm.

Join us for Bible study and prayer at the church at 7:00 pm.  In our survey of the great themes of Genesis, we’re looking at the so-called “covenant of pieces” in Chapter 15.  It’s a fascinating study of OT covenant rituals and what they have to do with Abram – and the cross.  It’s a great time to join us.

Thursday, September 17th
Dewey Missionary meeting at 10:00 am in the Adult Sunday School room.

Saturday, September 19th
Sunday School teacher meeting at 9:00 am.

Saturday, October 17th
CCCC Fall Banquet.  The program includes a John Spencer celebration.  Details to follow.

New!  Great For Car Travel!  We have a new set of listening CD's and a couple of books in the library from "Grace To You" with John MacArthur. Please feel free to sign them out, and grow spiritually in your own listening/reading time.  Titles include:
