As we kick off the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering we are hosting a book club to help educate the church on her great missionary work. Sharon Shouse tracked down a book that covers Lottie Moon's missionary work in China. There are a limited number of copies available at the Connection Desk in the Sanctuary. You can also purchase the book yourself by clicking here! We will take the month of October to read through the book and gather in November to discuss before we kick off our Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. This Book Club is co-ed and open to all in the church. Bring a snack to share! |

Pastor's Pen |
|
Brothers & Sisters, The Sands Family was afforded the opportunity to sneak away for a couple of days last weekend. I snapped this photo of the lake from the back deck of the house we stayed in. It reminded me of the text we looked at yesterday. Jesus has come to calm the storm. The storm of sin, death, and Satan has been calmed by the One who has authority over the winds and the seas. The comfort here is that the temporary storms of life can certainly be calmed knowing that God has caused a great calm in our souls. We have peace with God so we can take the storms of life to Jesus in prayer and join Him in sleep. Trust Jesus with the storms! We have lots of great opportunities for ministry and fellowship. Be sure to mark your calendars. This week is the Outdoor Movie Night! Tell your friends, family, and neighbors to plan on joining us for it! I'll see you soon, |
