Sunday Morning Adult Education Beginning today, we are starting our study of

The Story. We will begin our journey through The Story on Sunday morning at 8:30 AM, when Pastor Hengst will lead us in an intro-duction of The Story in Bible class. Pastor will lead the same class at 9:30 AM. We would love for you to join us for one of the two classes. These will be the only Adult Education classes that take place during Sunday Morn-ing. Both will meet in the Fellowship Hall.

Next Week: Pastor Hengst will lead us in a study of Chapter 1 of The Story. This week we will be focusing on the story of Noah, and will see how God is showing grace and mercy already, early on in the story.

Wednesday Adult Education Beginning on September 17th we will start our

study of The Story on Wednesdays. Pastor Harmon will lead this study. There will be a class at 9:30 AM and the same class will be held at 6:30 PM. Both classes will be held in

the Fellowship Hall and will be identical classes. On September 17th and 24th there will not be a meal served in the evening. Beginning on October 1st, we will have dinner served prior to Bible Study.

Small Groups Beginning on October 12th of this year, King of

Glory will be starting a congregational Small Group study of The Story. We invite you all to join in a Small Group beginning on that date. Small Groups are 8-12 people who meet twice a month to come together in fellowship, study and prayer. The goal of Small Groups is for people to grow in their faith and to connect to their brothers and sisters in Christ. Please prayerfully consider joining a Small Group in October and keep your eyes open for more information. If you have any questions please contact Pastor Hengst at a.hengst@kogva.org or at 757-258-9701.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Connect to God and His people; Live through Service and Sharing.

Congratulations Tara Wolf! Tara was recently appointed by the Board of Directors of the Southeastern District to serve as a District reconciler. May the Lord bless her as she serves the larger church in this important post.

Faith Sharing Moments: How many times have you taken the opportunity to share your faith? With a friend, co-worker, neighbor, even a stranger? The Southeastern District, as part of It's Ablaze for God's mission, is counting the number of faith-sharing moments taking place in the District. The numbers are meant to be encouraging to others and a celebration of faith in action. Send Pastor Harmon an e-mail and simply share the "number" with him. He will then pass it on. Thanks!

Fall Activities Guide: This guide includes information about events and opportunities to connect, grow and live in the months to come. Please take a look through the guide and plan to be part of the great things happening at KOG!

A chance to visit Jesus: Jesus said, "I was in prison and you visited me" and that's exactly what the Storybook Connection ministry does every week! We take books for the inmates to read to their children on tape and then send the book and the tape to their child. It's a very worthwhile and rewarding experience, and we need some new volunteers (especially women) to go once a month or so. You can go with an experienced volunteer until you're comfortable going on your own. For more information or to volunteer, contact Dale Walter, 229-2026.

Women’s Weight Management Group. The group, under the auspices of the Parish Nurse, has been meeting twice per month since February. This is a unique approach to weight management that is not a diet, but a process to create an understanding of how to develop techniques for managing one’s weight. The group recently completed an exploration of The End of Overeating by David Kessler. Members have shared experiences, recipes, food samples and helpful publications. There are no public

weigh-ins. Currently there are several openings for new members. A detailed description of the activity is available in the Welcome Center with a signup sheet. The next orientation meeting is September 26, at 9:30 AM, in Life Enrichment Room 4.

Ever thought about becoming a Stephen Minister? King of Glory will be training another class of Stephen Ministers beginning January 2015. Stephen Ministers work alongside our pastors to care, encourage and provide emotional and spiritual support to people who are going through a difficult time, such as divorce, grief, hospitalization, unemployment, terminal illness, relocation or deployment. If you have gifts of caring, encouragement, and listening, please prayerfully consider whether you might want to be part of this awesome ministry. If you think you might be interested, please contact one of our Stephen Leaders: Jon Falck, Pastor Phil Kuehnert, Judy Kuhnert, Lynn Miller, Joy Sawhill or Dan Scungio.

FEAST DAY September 14th

HOLY CROSS

The date of this feast marks the dedication of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem in 335. Saint Helene (the mother of the first Christian emperor, Constantine) is recorded as finding the true cross on this site and so the church was built there. There is many a Lutheran Church that is named after this feast day. Although it has different practices associated with it in the various churches (such as fasting and, in the Ethiopian Church, the setting of bonfires where the faithful gather singing chants), Lutherans celebrate what was accomplished on the cross: the salvation of the world. We know the cross as the central, external symbol of our faith and there is scarcely a Christian church that does not use it. Our Liturgy encourages us to make the sign of the holy cross at various points in the service. The lections associated with the feast at Morning and Evening Prayer are Genesis 3:1-15, 1 Peter 3:17-22, and John 3:11-17.

The Story: Beginning in September, the congregation will come

together for a joint project to increase biblical literacy and receive biblical blessing by reading the biblical text of both the Old and New Testaments arranged chronologically in 31 chapters.

Called The Story, this Bible will be presented as the basic text in preparation for sermons, worship themes and Bible Studies each week. The Story will touch every aspect of our congregational life

over this next ministry year. Sunday School, Adult Education, Small Groups, Youth Ministry, and even our preschool religion time will involve and share The Story.

We will journey together and discover--for the first time or once again in a new way--how our story is woven into God’s story. We will explore how God’s story touches our lives so that in turn we may live and share His story.

Here is how it works:

Between now and September 14 you are invited to purchase The Story. Harry Grimes serves as our point of contact for this opportunity. An order guide has been prepared and sent through our e-blast. You may also pick one up at the Welcome Center.

Order forms and payment may be submitted at The Story box at the Welcome Center or given to Harry Grimes.

We are asking you to pre-order, and books will then be available for pick-up on Sunday, August 24, 31, and September 7.

Please do not let the cost of the books hinder you from taking this journey with us. If cost is a concern, please speak with Pastor Harmon, Pastor Hengst, or Tara Wolf.

We are asking the entire congregation to make a commitment to be part of this journey. When you pick up The Story you will be invited to place your name on a card that will be added The Story wall: a witness to all who gather of who is embarking on this journey.

6

If you have already purchased The Story, we invite you to add your names to the wall on Sunday August 24, 31 and September 7.

Together, we begin reading on the evening of Sunday, September 14. You will have a whole week to read one chapter of The Story. Take a look at how the flow of each week will proceed:

Sunday evening, begin reading the chapter for the week.

Wednesday Bible Studies (9:30 AM and 6:30 PM) will focus on the chapter you are reading.

Sunday Morning, the chapter comes to a close. When you come to worship, the sermon will focus on what you have read as we ask the question: How does God’s story apply to your story?

Sunday Morning Education focuses on digging deeper into some of the accounts and revealing deeper truths about what you have read.

Sunday Evening, begin reading the chapter for the coming week to continue the process.

Sunday Evening-->Wednesday Study-->Sunday Morning-->Sunday Evening

This is a great opportunity for each person in our community (Connect). This is a great opportunity for your neighbors and friends (Live). Think what a great blessing it will be to receive an in-depth understanding of the Word of God and how our story is woven into His (Grow).
