Tithes and Offerings can be placed in the offering plates at the back of the sanctuary before Sunday morning worship and anytime in the black box outside of the secretary’s office labeled “Tithes and Offerings and Prayer Cards.”

CEC Needs Your Help! As we begin a new term, we are in need of a Sunday School helper for grades 1-2. For Wednesday nights, we are looking for a teacher for the Pre K – Kindergarten class. If you are available, please contact a member of the Christian Education Committee: Cindy Hunt, Martha Miller, Echo Shantz,  Susan Shantz, or Karl Stutzman.

Goal Reached!! Thank you to all you sewing machine operators! The current  total of sewn School Kit bags is 1057, with the goal being 1000. There are still several rolls of material that still need sewing and it would be great to have some extra completed. If you still are sewing bags, bring the completed ones to the room where the quilting takes place or put them in Delvin’s mailbox.

Elder Selection Our elder selection process starts September 27th. Please begin praying for God’s leading as we seek elders to lead our congregation.

Singing Evening is Sunday, October 4th. Stephen & Dori Slagell, Reggie & Angel Miller, Brent & Susan Mitchell Taggart, and Devert & Kathy Thomas are responsible for specials. If you prefer not to organize a special for the month, or have a conflict, please contact Luke Knisely.

Minutes from the September 13th members meeting have been posted to the bulletin board for review.

Save the Date Family Camp is coming November 14th & 15th. Family Camp is a way to connect with and build relationships within our church family.  It is going to be held at Canyon Camp near Hinton starting Saturday noon through Sunday noon. Family camp will include intergenerational games, activities and worship. Overnight lodging will be available in the Canyon Camp lodge. Look for more details as the date approaches.

Congratulations! Please join us in congratulating Daryl Mast and Chris Miller and praying for God’s blessing upon their engagement and future marriage! An official wedding date has not been set at this time, but we will share more details as plans are made.
