Five Conversation You Must Have With Your Daughter

This Sunday night we will begin a new class entitled,

“Five Conversations You Must Have With Your Daughter”. The

class will be led by Julie Peach and will begin at 6:00 p.m. This

study is written by Vickie Courtney and is a must for anyone

with a daughter! Tell your daughter the truth about life before

they believe the culture’s lies!

Discovery Class

If you are a new member or a visitor or if you have never gone through the

Discovery Class, then you are invited to join this class this Sunday at 10:00 a.m. in

the church library! You will be blessed!

Let’s Grow Together!

Diana

Discovery Class Starts Sunday The Discovery class for new members and

prospects will kick off a new semester this Sunday.

They meet in the library each Sunday at 10 AM. I

really appreciate the work that Bob and Sandy Works

and Steve and Helen Vogelsburg put in to this class. As you heard in the

testimony that was given Sunday, “they feed you both spiritually and

physically.” They have a good time of Bible study and also enjoy some

good refreshments each week. If you have not gone through the discovery

class, you should try it this semester.

Your Pastor, Bro Mike

Enlarging the Vision Campaign

Hey Sand Springers, What a great time we had with the Mystery Trip! The

weather was great and the fellowship was even better. On Tuesday,

October 11th, we will be headed to Georgetown KY to Bi Water

Farms. You will be able to buy your pumpkins and such there and then we will head on

over to Cracker Barrel to eat lunch. Be sure and sign up so I can plan and let them know

how many to prepare for.

This Saturday is our Christmas Choir Retreat here at the church. If you are

interested in singing with us during Christmas you should try and be here for this

rehearsal. We will be splitting up into vocal sections in order to learn our parts. Then

we will come together and sing through it one time as a choir and see how much we

learned. I will be feeding you lunch and my plan is to be done by 1:00 if not earlier.

Can’t wait to see you there! Blessings, Ellery

Wasn’t God good Sunday! He blessed us with a wonderful

testimony about the work of the Gideons, and then inspired us in

song from Tennessee Harmony that evening. In Awana the

children learned about Stranger Danger and that even though God

commands us to love one another and they still need to be careful

around people they do not know. A video message was presented on signs of

danger children need to be aware of. They learned they should never open the

door for strangers or allow themselves to be tricked into going with a stranger, to

maintain a safe distance from strangers, and to yell really loud if a stranger gets

too close to their personal space. Next week is Crazy Hair Night. All clubbers and

leaders can come with their hair fixed as weird or funny as they want.

Totes have been placed in the main lobby for candy donations for Trunk or

Treat. Many bags of candy will be needed for the hundreds of children that will

attend. A Children’s Committee meeting is schedule for Wednesday, September

28th at 6:00 in room G19. Plans for Trunk or Treat will be discussed and

assignments made. A sign-up sheet will also be placed in the lobby for volunteers

to help with parking and donations of chili, sandwiches, and desserts.
