What do “Choosy Moms” Choose?
JIF peanut butter used to have a slogan (and maybe they still use it), “Choosy moms choose JIF.” Pretty clever. In other words, if you’re a mom who’s interested in making smart choices for your children and looking for what is very best for your children, then the natural thing for you to do is to choose JIF peanut butter. Are you a choosy mom? What other sorts of things would “choosy moms” choose?
Choosy moms choose to take their kids to Bible class. OF all the places moms take their kids (like she’s a taxi service), Bible Class should be the top destination every Sunday and Wednesday.
Choosy moms choose Christ-centered priorities for their homes. It is easy to let friends, school, and extra-curricular activities set the priorities for the family, but moms know Christ alone must be first.
Choosy moms choose appropriate entertainment inside their homes. Games, movies, TV shows, apps, phone usage-these are not things for children to make decisions on their own but are things that moms need to regulate.
Choosy moms choose modest, appropriate, “professing-godliness” apparel for their daughters (and themselves). This isn’t easy or popular today, but if girls do not learn modesty at home (from mom), where will they learn it?
Choosy moms choose to respect their husbands as the head of the house and support him in that role. The Bible still teaches that “the husband is the head of the wife,” and every mom should show her children how God’s roles in the home are the best and need to be honored every day.
Choosy moms choose positive attitudes when discussing the church and its members. What a mom says and how she says, when she’s talking about “people down at church,” will have direct impact on how those children grow up and view the church.
Choosy moms choose to teach with words and exemplify in actions true love for the Lord and His Word. Just like “being a mom” is a 24/7 “job,” being a Christian is a 24/7 “job,” and children need to grow up with a deep love for God, for Jesus and for the Bible because that’s what they saw in mom.
Being a “choosy mom” is not the easiest or most popular path to take. Sometimes moms would rather be “non-choosy” or “I-don’t-care-go-away” moms. Sometimes moms have so much going on and so many things to do, that it’s tempting to let “church stuff” slide and “godly living” fade. Unlike the message of the nifty slogan, “choosy moms” usually have much tougher choices than which peanut butter to buy.
Thank God for “choosy moms,” who only want what is very best for their children and thus choose to be “choosy”!

Ashville Food Pantry: Our congregation is collecting Vienna sausages, peanut butter,
boxed potatoes, and crackers/cookies packs for school lunches. Our congregation has also
committed to collect a total of 250 cans of canned fruit to be distributed at Thanksgiving
and Christmas to families in need. We need approximately 120 more cans by
November. If you have any questions please see Paul Wooldridge.
Please note that we have a new church email address. It is listed on the front page of
the bulletin at the top.
The new men’s service schedule is on the table by the office. There is also a service
schedule survey to help plan for next year for the men to fill out.
Fall Quarter begins today!
Please take a moment to review those friends/loved ones on our prayer lists. If
anyone needs to be removed, let Lisa Curry know as soon as possible. We are trying
to update our information on those who are listed & will delete those who no longer
are in need of fervent prayer.
Ladies Day was a huge success! There were 64 ladies in attendance, and 10 congregations
were represented. Thanks to the gentlemen who served our lunch, and thanks to all the
ladies who volunteered their time and talents to ensure that everything went well!
Alkire Road is having their Ladies Day next Saturday. It begins at 9:30.
Pickerington is having their Ladies Day on Oct. 22. It begins at 8:00.
We will have a finger foods dinner tonight after evening services. We’ll enjoy the leftover
goodies from our Ladies Day. Please stay and join us!
2016 Theme:
Seek ye out the old paths… Jeremiah 6:16
To our Visitors: We welcome you here this morning and hope that you will make plans to come back at your earliest
convenience. Presently, our congregation has no minister, elders, or deacons. We are prayerfully working toward that goal. We do not go beyond the limitations and instructions set forth for the one and true
Church. If you have any questions as to our practice or beliefs, please do not hesitate to ask any of the men of the congregation. We will be happy to answer any and all questions you may have. We hope that your time
here with us will be pleasant and uplifting.
Prayer List
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all
understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Phil. 4:6-7

Weekly Memory Verse:
“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him
ask of God, who gives to all liberally
and without reproach, and it will be
given to him. But let him ask in faith,
with no doubting, for he who doubts is
like a wave of the sea driven and tossed
by the wind.”
James 1:5-6
