An Update from the Transition Team/Call Committee

The committee met on Wednesday August 17th with the Assistant

to the Bishop Pastor Susan Kintner to receive our first candidate for

call. She also gave us the names of references for this candidate. We

will follow up on this part immediately.

Pastor Kintner has received quite a few profiles from pastors and

will present the committee with more names in the next two weeks.

Her goal is to submit the crème of the crop… her words.

We are optimistic with what she has so far.

Let us pray for her and our work ahead in receiving exciting can-

didates.

Prayer Shawl will resume on Thursday, September 8th at 7:00 pm

in the Fellowship Hall.

We meet to knit and crochet prayer shawls and enjoy

conversation. Completed prayer shawls are gifted to

members of our community of faith and any others

who are in need of prayers of comfort and a reminder

of God’s love for us all;

If you know of someone undergoing medical

procedures, a marriage or commitment ceremony,

birthing, recovering from an illness, or any other need

or celebration, let us know.

Life Line Screening will be at Metro Church of Christ on Thursday, September

29, 2016 offering safe, painless, non-invasive preventive health screenings that

are typically not a part of a routine physical. To be more proactive about your

health and to live longer for yourself, your family and your community, please

register for these potentially life-saving tests today. See the flyer on the Health

Ministries board to get more info about how you can sign up while receiving $10

off any package priced above $129. For only $139 (regularly $149) you can

learn your risk of having stroke or vascular disease. There is no time like the

present to take action!

October 8th and 9th is Worship in Pink weekend, promoting breast

health awareness. Health Ministries is in the planning process,

and there will be information and awareness the entire month of

October in the Fellowship Hall. Mark your calendars for the annu-

al luncheon on Saturday, October 8th at 11:30, with a special pro-

gram and guest speaker.

It’s not too early to start thinking about the Advent Festival, November

19th from 10 am to 2 pm in the Fellowship Hall. Crafts, entertainment, wreaths

and centerpieces, white elephant sales, chili-dogs, baked goods and lefse! This

event is always enjoyed by many members of the church and community.
