October Birthdays
Memory Verses
Last Week
But Ruth said, “Do not press me to leave you or to turn back from following you! Where you go, I will go; Where you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God my God. Where you die, I will die— there will I be buried. May the Lord do thus and so to me, and more as well, if even death parts me from you!”
Ruth 1:16-17
This Week
There are six days when you may work, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest, a day of sacred assembly. You are not to do any work; wherever you live, it is a sabbath to the Lord. These are the Lord’s appointed festivals, the sacred assemblies you are to proclaim at their appointed times.
Leviticus 23:6-7

The next few weeks will be special in the life of our church. This coming Sunday is World Communion and we will be celebrating along with churches across the world. This Sunday we will also launch our new sermon series on feasting by looking at the seven feasts God commanded the Israelites to celebrate and the significance of each feast. If you follow our daily devotional, Word for Today, you will find additional information there. You can also follow along on our Facebook page.
The second Sunday in October, we will once again be celebrating the Holy Sacrament of Baptism with the baptism of Garrett Merriott and his dad, Corey. Krista and Corey were married in our church just a few years ago. Krista started singing in the choir with her grandmother Mary Lue Gibbs. Both Corey and Krista play in our handbell choir. Their family has been such a blessing to our congregation and we are delighted there are taking this next step of family for their family.
If you are looking for a volunteer opportunity, we may have openings in October. Several of our Food Pantry volunteers will be out in October and we might need some help for one or two days. If you are interested, contact Erin in the church office. On October 16th, we are doing a baked potato bar for Sue’s Table and would love to have a few volunteers cook a pot of chili. If you would volunteer to make a pot of chili and have it to the church by 4:15pm on October 16th, please contact us in the church office. You are always welcomed to join us on Monday nights at Sue’s Table. You do not need a reservation, just show up!
Have you been attending our church for years but never had the opportunity to join? Well, mark your calendar for the first Sunday in Advent, December 3rd, where we hope all who just have not join will come together and join with the rest of us. We want you to be a part of our church family. You do not have to be a member to be a part of what we are doing by you do have to be a member to participate in leadership and voting. Your voice is important to the future of our church! Questions? We will have a session of coffee with the pastor November 19th & 26th at 9:30am.
Grace and peace,
Beth
