CHURCH NEWS
Sunday School Rally Day on Sept. 7 had 35 boys and girls enjoying a special
guest: Noah Eschmann told us about his mission trip to Mexico. We welcomed new students. Each week we will meet in the church for our opening
and for music. Then we will go to our classrooms. Today our children will
study the Scripture’s account “Sin Enters the World” as the devil tempted
Adam and Eve to sin. With the fall into sin came God’s punishment of
death—but also His promise of a Savior. You might discuss, “How does sin
affect us as a family? How does God’s promise of a Savior give us comfort?”
Life Together in the study of God’s word at 9:15 a.m. in the church basement
today - 2 Chronicles 17, Pious King Jehoshaphat of Judah. Next week:
1 Kings 22:1-28, Ahab and Jehoshaphat’s War Against the Syrians.
Next week Rev. Wendell Peterson will be preaching at our 10:30 a.m. service. This coincides with the Confirmation Class of 1954 reunion.
Next Sunday, Sept. 28, there will be a bake sale for Advent by Candlelight
between services in the middle basement. Free will offering.
This year’s Kinderfest is Sunday, October 12 from 12:00-4:00 p.m. The
Kinderfest Committee is asking for donations for the Silent Auction. Another
request is for assistance in manning the food tent. We need groups of 5-6
people to fill the following one-hour shifts: 11:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. and 2:005:00 p.m. Contact Darsi if you are able to help in any way.
