This  Sunday  is  our  5th  Sunday  Fellowship,   and   I  want   to   invite  everyone   in   7th  

grade   and   up   to   come   to   the   FFC.  September   24th   is   Rosh   Hashanah—the  Feast  of  Trumpets,  which  begins  a  10-­‐day   celebration   that   culminates  with   Yom   Kippur—the   Day   of  Atonement.  We  will   be   talking   about  what  these  events  meant  in  the  Bible,  and  what   they  mean   to  us   today.  For  breakfast,   we   will   have   my   wife’s  delicious  French  Toast  Cinnamon  Roll  Bake  (you’ll  love  it!).  !   On   September   7th   I   will   be  starting   another   session   of   the   New  Believers   101   class,   which   will   run  until   October   26th.   Since   space   is  limited,  please  contact  me   to  sign  up  ASAP.    

CATECHISM    Q.  What  does  God  require  of  us  that  we  may  escape  His  wrath  and  curse?  A.  To  escape  the  wrath  and  curse  God  requires  of  us  faith  in  Jesus  Christ  and  

repentance  unto  life.

YOUTH  INITIATION  NIGHT       We   will   begin   the   Lock-­‐In   with  the   concert   in   the   Sanctuary.   I   would  like  for  all  that  are  attending  the  lock  in  to   sit   as   a  group.  After   the   concert,  we  will  eat  supper.    There  will  be  games,  a  bon-­‐Fire   and   of   course   some   initiation  tasks   for   all   youth.     We   will   eat  breakfast  and  be  done  at  8  am.      

AWANA  STORE  DONATIONS    Week   after   week,     I   am   always  

proud  of  our  Awana  kids  as  they  strive  to  memorize  more  and  more  scripture.    One  way  we   reward   their   efforts   is   by  giving   them   Awana   bucks   to   spend   at  the   Awana   store   located   in   the  basement.    

One  way  you  can  encourage  our  kids    is  to  make  sure  our  Awana  store  is  loaded   with   some   great   stuff.     If   you  would   like   to  donate,   some     items   that  really   spark   interest   are:   sports  memorabilia,  school  supplies,  toys  (still  in   the   package),   body   pillows   and  itunes   gift   cards.     If   you  want   to   give,  please  see  Tally  Messer  or  you  can  drop  items  off  in  my  ofFice.  (Please  be  sure  to  write  a  note!)  

!!!!!!!!!If you are interested in giving aid to Iraqi Christians, you can put your gift in an offering envelope and

write the amount in the “OTHER” blank. Just write Iraqi Relief on the

envelope, or you can text “IMB Relief” to 80888 to donate $10.
