Recovery from the Memorial Day Weekend Floods and Tornadoes: Thank you for your donations to the Bastrop County
Long Term Recovery Team (BCLTRT) of $1080. It will be used to purchase materials like cabinets, sheetrock, and flooring
for some of the 70+ homes that are to be worked on so that families can get back in their homes by Thanksgiving.
Our church is signed up to bring in volunteers to work on some of the homes for 2 Saturdays (Sept 26 and Oct 3). Skilled
or unskilled, we need your help! Please let Julie Smith, Jan Goebel, or the church office know if you can join us for one
or both Saturdays.
Also, if you have used furniture or appliances you would like to donate to these families, please call the church office to
arrange for it to be picked up from you. Thank you so much.
Honoring Our Heritage thru Windows of Faith
The 180th Anniversary Celebration of our church is Sunday, September 20 at 12:30pm in Fellowship Hall. We'll start the
celebration with a barbeque meal and cake followed by a service that includes history of the stained glass windows in the
sanctuary and special music. Come and sing!
I have a lost & found “window” in the church office. Currently I have two Bibles in it. One has the name Ashley
embossed on the front. The other has the name Jennifer Jones in it. If either of these belongs to you, please come
claim them. Office hours are 9-4, Monday thru Friday, closed for lunch approximately 12-1. Thank you!
On Sunday, September 13, 2015 at 11:00 AM, a new Young Adult Sunday School Class will begin in the Parlor in the
Fellowship Hall. Come and check us out! We’d love to have you join us!
We have a young lady & her son that are looking for a room or an apartment to rent. If you or someone you know might
have something like this available, please let the church office know.

There will be a new Bible study class taught by Glenn Johnson and Linda Allen beginning Wednesday, September 9 in
the Church Parlor from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. The class is “Becoming Disciples Through Bible Study” and will be based
on a review of the New Testament. The class will meet for seventeen sessions. The cost of the materials will be $40.
(Note this is the Cokesbury price which may be different for bulk orders.) This study will require about 3 ½ hours (30
minutes a day) of work outside the classroom to be prepared for the two hour session. Each member will need a
study Bible in addition to the course manual.
In the fellowship hall foyer, there has been a plaque mounted honoring the Beck and Maynard families for their
gracious gifts to our church. The cedar base on which the plaques are mounted was crafted by Jim Berkner. Many
thanks to them all!
REMINDER: HOTEL/SAMPLE SIZE HYGIENE products needed! Bring your hotel/sample shampoos, soap, lotion,
deodorant, toothpaste, etc. to the Hygiene Box in our Collections Cabinet in the Fellowship Hall entry. The
collection box is available year round, and most stores carry sample size hygiene products. Currently, United
Methodist Women are collecting these for a Family Crisis Center mission project. At other times, the HealthCare
Committee distributes the items to local soup kitchen/indigent agencies. Your generosity is appreciated and reaches
area individuals and families in need! Contact Debbie Meyer, 512-321-6553, or middlenurse@yahoo.com for more
information.
