Around The Word Devotional Page – contains a nice structure to utilize worship elements and a verse to repeat [memorize] each week. On the inside there it lists a short scripture reading and then has a couple of thoughts to guide your day. The weekly Around the Word page will be available in the lobby. You can also subscribe to have it email to you at no charge.
The Chosen’s Season 3 episodes 1 & 2 are being released as a movie opening this next weekend. It will be playing in a limited engagement at Regal cinema at the Lansing Mall. You can prepay tickets online at RegMovies.com. The movie will cover Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount and then his sending the disciples out two by two. Even if you haven’t watched any of the other The Chosen you should be able to follow the storyline. Of course, we will have our “binge watching” of season 3 but that won’t be for several months.
Sunday Morning Bible Class 9:45 is studying what it means to trust in God. The title of the study is If you want to walk on water, you have to get out of the boat. Come and learn what it means to water walk, focus on Jesus, and do incredible things for Him.
Advent – The season of Advent starts the church year. The word means “coming.” We focus on Jesus’ first coming as our Savior. He comes today to us through His Word. And He will come again to bring us to heaven. The theme for the Sundays of Advent is The _____ that stole Christmas. We realize that many things of the world steal our Christmas Joy and we fail to worship the Immanuel, God with us. We need to recognize the distractions and often ungodly things in our life that deter our focus on Jesus Christ. In repentance we once again embrace the true gift, Jesus, who came to redeem a broken world. May our hearts, like that of the Grinch, grow 3 times the size in adoration of Jesus our Messiah. November 27 – The materialism that stole Christmas December 4 – The schedule that stole Christmas December 11 – The conflict that stole Christmas December 18 – The grief that stole Christmas December 24 – The Power that stole Christmas |
Food Ingathering – The month of November we are collecting nonperishable food items and personal care items for local food pantry distribution centers. Place items in the lobby area of church near or under the long table. O give thanks unto the Lord for He is good, and His mercy endures forever.
Gifts for Children at Youth Haven - This year again, the Fellowship team will be sponsoring Christmas gifts for the Youth Haven children. The Christmas tree will be in the narthex beginning November 6 and gifts will be collected until December 1. The Ranch is asking for these items for 11 –13 year old boys and girls: art sets, backpacks, board games, bracelet/jewelry making kits, card games (Uno, Go Fish, Skip-Bo, etc.), craft kits, Legos, puzzles, school supplies (scissors, crayons, pencils, rules, spiral notebooks), sports ball,/NERF balls, small stuffed animals. Please bring your unwrapped gifts when you can, so that all children can receive a gift during this holiday season

It's time for Euchre! The Fellowship team has scheduled monthly Euchre nights beginning in October. Euchre is scheduled for the first Friday night of each month...December 2, January 6, February 3, and March 3.
Circle these dates on your calendar and plan on attending! Each month there will be a sign-up sheet available in the lobby to give us an idea on how many will be attending. Just bring a snack to share and a dollar for the Euchre kitty for each player. The fun starts at 6:30pm. See you December 2!
