TUESDAY MORNING BIBLE STUDY
10:00 a.m. in Souers Hall

WEDNESDAY NIGHT BIBLE STUDY
6:30 p.m. in Souers Hall

Adult Bible study continues Tuesday, September 25 and Wednesday, September 26. We are exploring the importance of studying the scriptures/text in context, which includes considering a variety of different lenses: historical, cultural, geographical, visual, linguistic, and literary. Please read Luke 15:11-32, 1 Samuel 17, and Luke 5:17-26 prior to our time together if possible.

After we finish exploring the importance of studying the scriptures/text in context, we will spend several weeks learning about Paul’s missionary journeys and the beginning of the Christian church in Pisidia Antioch, Colossae, Laodicea, Sardis, Pergamum, Philadelphia, Smyrna, Thyatira, and Ephesus. As always, it will be helpful to bring a Bible and something to write with if you are able to.

Grief Support Group

Learning to live again after the death of a loved one or friend is oftentimes very difficult. We all grieve in different ways: some focus primarily on the emotions, others try to avoid grief altogether, and some want to read their way through it. Leanne Walgren and Pastor Lynne hope to walk with you as you travel through your grief. We want to join you on the path to healing by offering a grief support group beginning Sunday, October 7 from 11:45 – 12:45 in the Fireside Room North.

We will meet for six weeks on the following dates: October 7, 14, 21, and 28, November 11 and 18. We plan on using a compassionate resource called Traveling Through Grief: Learning to Live Again After the Death of a Loved One as a guide to help you find your road to recovery. If you do not already have a copy of this book, copies will be available free of charge on the first day we gather. If you have any questions please call the church office at (623) 935-3411 or speak with Leanne or Pastor Lynne.

Mark Your Calendar for Hallo-Palooza

Hallo-palooza will take place on Wednesday, October 31, from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m. in the church’s parking lot. We need YOU! Bring your car, some candy, and your favorite Halloween décor. When you arrive, you will receive a parking space. Then, set up your lawn chair, open your trunk (and candy bags), and wait for kids to walk through and trick-or-treat in a safe place. For those who would like to decorate the trunk, there will be a decorating contest. There will be plenty of frightening sights for the kids. Please sign up in the breezeway.

Sunday School Opportunity

We are in need of some help for our Sunday School classrooms (K – grade 2; grade 3 – 5) during both the 9:15 and 10:45 a.m. services. Pastor Kerri delivers the message to begin each class. Then, teachers walk the children to the classrooms where activities are set up and ready to go. There are youth to assist teaches as well. It is minimal work and maximum blessing! Please consider this imperative ministry to our children. If you would like to help, please contact Pastor Kerri.

4C Fall Season Has Begun

Fall season has begun for 4C, Children’s Christian Community Choir (Kindergarten-grade 5). 4C meets on Wednesdays, from 5:30 – 6:30 p.m. in the Fireside Room North. We always welcome new singers! Mr. Ramon and Ms. Kathy are excited to be back with 4C. This will be a great year!
