BOOKS NEEDED

The United Methodist Women are collecting books for their

annual book sale during “Heart of the Crafter” (November 2nd).

If you have any gently used books that you would like to donate,

please bring them to the church office. No magazines please.

Nehemiah’s heart was so broken for those in need that he left the comfort of his Persian palace to help them. This study challenges women to let God break their hearts for a hurting, lost world and move them in compassion to lead people to Jesus. Nehemiah is a 7 week study that includes 7 video sessions and real-life ways to put feet to your faith. Are you ready to let God break your heart for a hurting, lost world and move you in compassion to be the hands and feet of Jesus?

First Ladies is an

Umbrella Ministry that will

help plan and coordinate

some of the diverse

women’s ministries in our

church such as: Bible

Studies, Retreats, Training

Events, and Outreach and

Fellowship events. We will

also be working alongside

the already existing

women’s ministries to help

every woman in our

church find a place to

connect, gather and serve

with other women and

God.

This Sunday! Trivial Pursuit!

On Labor Day weekend, we

celebrate the blessing of work; the

opportunity to be constructive,

provide for our loved ones and make

a positive difference. Some pursuits

are noble and necessary – and some

are trivial. The dictionary defines the

word “trivial” is “of very little

importance or value;

insignificance.” Too often we

allow ourselves to be distracted by

“trivial pursuits.” Come this Sunday as Larry concludes the

“Game of Life” sermon series on a high note!
