Weekly Update, October 25th, 2014
Hi church,
The fall season has been spectacular so far and looking forward to even more colors in the days to come! Please join us this Sunday as we return to the Gospel of John and a powerful passage from chapter 3. We also will celebrate 2 baptisms. Finally, let me know if you were interested in participating in the follow-up to the God and Government series that I mentioned last Sunday. I was envisioning a Sunday night to discuss some really important topics not covered during the sermon series like how the church and state interact, how should Christians view different political ideologies like socialism, liberalism, etc. There will also be a signup sheet at the Connect Center.
Parenting Conference
Our Parenting conference starts tonight! Please pray for this event to have a lasting impact on families and ultimately our community.
Creativity Workshop
Ladies, join us for a night of fellowship and creativity! On Tuesday, Nov. 12 at 6:30pm, Julie Golihew, a talented crafter, will guide us through making a Christmas craft we will take home! Julie will bring all the supplies, the directions, and the talent - we will simply follow her instructions! We will also enjoy fellowship and snacks. This event is open to ladies 6th grade and up. Please invite your friends and family. Let us know who will be attending by signing up in the church app, at the Connect Center, or by using this link Creativity Workshop Registration. Please sign up sooner rather than later so we can ensure we have enough supplies for all!
Widow’s Walk Potluck
The Widow’s Walk group will be having a potluck lunch on Sunday, Nov. 10th after the service in room 111. Fried chicken and bottled water will be provided. Please bring a side dish or dessert to share. Sign up at the Connect Center, in the church app, or by using this link Widow's Walk Potluck Signup.
GriefShare
GriefShare is a biblically based, Christian grief recovery support group where you can find help and healing for the hurt of losing a loved one. Our next session will begin Nov. 17 and meet Sunday afternoons from 3pm-4:15pm in room 106. B.J. Hallmark will be leading this group. Participants will register online with GriefShare and we'll share that link once it is active.
Veteran’s Day Tribute Video
Sandy McCarthy is updating our video tribute to the service men and women of our church. If you are serving or have served in the military, please email a photo (in uniform, if possible) to Sandy McCarthy (sandygramms@gmail.com) by Nov. 3rd. Please reach out to her if you need to update a previous submission.
Team Emert Shirts
As a church, we have been praying for Tom Emert and his family during his cancer treatments. As a show of support, his Sunday school class designed Team Emert shirts. Several people have expressed an interest in purchasing the shirts. If you would like to order one, please click here: https://jobs-move-04j.craft.me/qvNV0YhbOxwByj. These shirts are not part of a fundraiser, they are simply to show our support. The last day to order shirts is THIS Sunday, Oct. 27th.
Weems Creek Apparel
Did you miss out on purchasing Weems Creek apparel in the spring? I have good news! We will open the link in next week’s Friday Update email. They would make great Christmas gifts!
Blessings!
Pastor Bryan
