Good morning church! Don’t forget that our fall family dinner is coming up on Saturday October 17th at 5:00pm and all are invited. This fall dinner will be lasagna but we are also adding something really unique this year. One of our members owns a Pierogi factory in Chicago. A pierogi is a dumpling that is filled with a variety of fillings, some are meat filled and others are more like deserts and filled with some type of sweet filling. Richard Berry is the president and CEO of Alexandra Foods headquartered in Chicago and he is sending us some of his pierogi’s. Thank you Richard Berry. Al Kaburick is our cook and he said he was looking forward to adding this to the menu. Please sign up with Nelleke for the church dinner because we need a head count! You can sign up at church or call her at: 618-954-4155. Thank you.
As usual our wonderful choir will be worshiping with some wonderful songs this Sunday. Bonni has dug out some oldies but goodies. As a reminder, please always read the words to the music as they are being sung. The message within the music is wonderful!
Who are you becoming? Everyday offers the opportunity for growth or decline. Everyday offers you the opportunity to love or to be angry and hate. Everyday you have the opportunity to make the decision to plant flowers or weeds. And here is a really big one, everyday you have the ability to choose prayer to experience God’s guidance in so many things, or you can Continue to operate your life with you being in charge and trying to control everything. Choose wisely.
Great News! Our Sunday school program is booming thank you Amy St. Pierre and Rachel Stolte for loving these kids and teaching them about Jesus. But with a growing program we need growing help. Last week we had 11 children in class! Rachel is going to be having a baby soon and will be out for a couple of months. We have more and more babies and have divided up the Sunday school groups into three age brackets. Amy is proposing is to have a parental sign up sheet where the parents could help out in the Sunday school class on a rotating basis. If all the parents would take a Sunday, you would probably only need to serve one Sunday about every 5 or 6 weeks? You would not have to do the lessons. Amy will have everything prepared. There will be a sign up sheet and we ask all parents to please help support this program on a rotating basis. Thank you. Kent
Continued prayers for:
- Austin Garret, praying for his back being healed so he can get back to work and for God’s patience and wisdom as he is healing.
- Julie, Dona Swansons niece who is undergoing serious cancer treatments for cancer in her spine.
“Those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles.” Isaiah 40:31
See you all on Sunday! Love, pastor kent
