Encounters with Jesus

The Gospels are full of stories about people encountering Jesus Christ. Although the people who met Jesus in these encounters lived 2000

years ago, their questions, aspirations, disappointments, struggles and yearnings are very much like our own. Once they met Jesus their lives

were changed forever. Join us each Sunday as we explore some of these events and see how encountering Jesus can transform our lives, too.

schedules and see if you would be available Wednesday, September 7th at 6:30pm in Fellowship Hall to come together

for prayer?

We will be praying for the new vision team forming, Family Ministries kicking off, Adult Discipleship kicking off, Financial health,

Mission participation and Spiritual transformation through all of these!

Join the Welcome INN team in the Fellowship Hall Kitchen on

Tuesday, August 23, at 2:00pm to help prepare a hot meal for

the hungry. Another option is to come to the church at

can then take some time to meet some people from our

community who have stories to tell. You can find out how God

is at work in their lives. Think about joining the team.

COME HEAR HOW GOD USED OUR TEAM IN MALAWI

SUNDAY • SEPTEMBER 18

A few days into their time in Malawi, Amy Andreasen sent the

following report, “We had an incredible day with the Chiefs

Ministry on Friday. It was great! Jon and Kelly both spoke. There

was lots of dancing and singing. Our team were the first white

people to ever come to that village. There were tons of people

there. On the way, our van took 21 people, along with our team

to the village. We sang lots of praise songs in the van on the

drive. It was Kelly Huiberts's favorite day so far."

This report came in from Richard Kapanda, the Director of the

Nkhoma Youth Department, who our team served with during

their first two days in the country. “If the message ably

delivered by Jonathan Moran and Amy Andreasen is anything to

go by, the youth of Nkhoma and Chilenje can transform their

communities… We have been blessed again with material things which

range from balls, bibles, reference books, t/shirts. We thank God for all

these gifts. May the good Lord bless all those that extended their hands

for that.”

The team will be reporting back to the congregation on Sunday,

September 18 at noon at a luncheon in Fellowship Hall. Please join us to

hear more stories about how God was at work in Malawi. RSVP to Sheryl

France-Moran at [email protected].
