Weekly Update, October 4th, 2024
Hi church,
As we have watched this week, Hurricane Helene devastated parts of our nation. Let us pray for those affected and for the recovery efforts. Below is a link to Send Relief's website devoted to the hurricane. On the website, you will find information about the storm, prayer guide, and a link to financially support our denomination's relief efforts.
As a church, I encourage us to serve in Disaster Relief training. The Baptist Convention of Maryland/Delaware hosts periodic training sessions for people to be equipped as volunteers as well as specific roles like chainsaw, feeding, and chaplaincy. Personally, I have seen firsthand the huge impact of Disaster Relief ministry, both going to affected areas and also experiencing a tornado that devastated my area and hosting volunteers for nearly 2 months. Disaster Relief demonstrates the love of Christ in very real, tangible ways. Let me know if you are interested in becoming a volunteer. For more information: Hurricane Helene

Harvest Fest
Harvest Fest is next Saturday, Oct. 12th, and we would love to make this church-wide event our biggest outreach yet! We need volunteers to donate candy, donate baked goods, join the chili cook-off, distribute food and drinks, supervise games and crafts, and donate candy. Did I already say that? We need candy or treat donations to be distributed at the different activity stations! They can be placed in the bin in the atrium.

Weems Creek Apparel
Many people have asked if we will be selling Weems Creek shirts again. Good news! We will share the link again in the next few weeks. They would make great Christmas gifts!
Blessings!
