This Sunday we take a brief break from our Fall Sermon Series, “What Disciples Believe Do” to hear from Bill and Gale Johnson. Bill and Gale have been serving as missionaries in France with Reformed Evangelical Fellowship. Bill and Gale are transition-ing in their ministry as they will be based out of the US rather than France beginning this fall. Bill and Gail will be sharing with us about the reality of gath-ering as followers of Jesus Christ in a post-Christian country. In effect, they will be giving us a possible glimpse of the future as the United States becomes more and more a post-Christian country. They will share about the good and the bad for what is to come. I hope you can join us.

SAVE THE DATE! Join your church family on Saturday,

October 12th for our annual Harvest Dinner

& All Church Talent Show!

The evening begins at 6:00 pm with a

delicious turkey dinner with all the

trimmings. After dinner prepare to be

entertained by your own church

family.

Sign ups have begun so be thinking about

what YOUR talent might be-can you sing,

dance, tell funny jokes, play an instrument,

do magic tricks, etc? Perform by yourself or

with others. (You don't need to participate in

the talent show to come, but the more who partici-

pate, the more entertaining the evening will be!)

The library now has a complete collection of these

books upon the request of families who attended

story time this past year.

Is your child always

asking questions? In

these books by Lisa

Tawn Bergren, Little

Cub is doing the

same. Stop by the

Garden of

Knowledge and

check one out.

Please make sure to wish the following folks a Happy Anniversary or Happy Birthday! If I have missed

someone or have the wrong date for someone, please let me know so I can update my records.
