Announcements

Thank you to all who gave to the Trish Littler love gift.  Nearly $200 was receipted as a gesture of support and to help defray some of the costs of her cancer treatments.

Mission giving is down for the summer, and there are only two Sundays left in the 3^rd quarter.  Remember, unless your special contribution is designated “Missions” (on the check memo), it never makes it to the field but gets included in general fund giving.

 Calendar

Wednesday, September 23^rd

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 in Chapter 16 and get introduced to Hagar, Sarai’s Egyptian maid.  It’s a fascinating study of promise, patience, and the providence of God.  It’s a great time to join us.
