Ladies, it’s time to jump for JOY! The women’s study group J.O.Y. (which stands for, Just Older Youth) will have its first meeting on Monday, September 23rd from 10:00-11:00 am in Wesley Hall. We will be reading and discussing LIVING a LIFE You LOVE, by Joyce Meyer. Books will be available after church on Sundays and in the office during the week. The cost is $9.00. All women of the church are welcome!
To date 33 people have taken the Protection Policy Training. This is really good! However, more may be added to the list. The last two training dates for 2019 are: October 19, and November 23. All training events will begin at 9:30am and end at 11:30ish. Anyone who works with children, youth, or vulnerable persons (this includes the Warming Center) must have this training. The exception to this are those who only come in to cook and serve the evening or morning meal. If you work with intake, security, or stay overnight, this training is required. There is a sign-up sheet on the window across from the Library. There will also be a sign-up genius link sent out via email so you may sign up online as well.
Our Sermon Series for September will be called “Signs of Fall” and we will talk about many themes that tie our faith to some of the most common occurrences of fall. We will also discuss kicking off Fall well, tackling our challenges, trusting God, and finding the beauty in the cycles of change. It is time to walk into Fall with faith and confidence finding the Triune God in every sign along the way.
On Tuesday, November 5th at 6 pm, we will be cutting vegetables for the upcoming Pasty Bake. On November 6 and 7, we will be making and baking around 1100 pasties, so we need all hands on deck to help this fundraiser. Sign-up sheets will be posted soon. If you have any questions, please see Linda Willneff or Marge Knapp.
The Summer of Service has begun and already in June our youth have put together some backyard play structures for Elodie Hart, painted a shed for a Mt. Clemens resident, and worked at the Macomb Food Pantry. This month we will renovate the youth room with a fresh coat of paint, new furniture, and some new decorations.
This will take place July 8 – 12 from 9:00 – 3:00 each day.
Come by and offer encouragement or pick up a paint brush and help out.
Also, in July we will travel to Arts and Scraps in Detroit to help take recycled materials and create educational packets for teachers.
Please be in prayer for our youth as they share God’s love by serving their neighbors.
Pastor Dan is so excited to get to know his new congregation!
He has asked if it would be possible to schedule a number of small group meetings in homes or at church in order to get to know us, listen to our hopes and dreams, anxieties and fears; as together, we transition into this new ministry. If you are able to host one of these small, informal coffee and dessert meetings, please sign up on the list in Wesley Hall or contact Wendy Jones in the office.
