Thanks to all who contributed to the August Yellow Bag collection, which supports our own Jacob’s Learning Ladder school. Your contributions will help JLL kick off the new year with some new items to help the students learn.
Looking ahead, we will be collecting hygiene items for Simply Hygiene in September. Soap, toothpaste, shampoo, feminine items, diapers, and baby wipes are just some of the items needed. Look for barrels around the church in September to drop off your donations.
How are you wired when it comes to spending time with other people? Are you more comfortable when everyone in the group thinks and believes in the same way, or do you thrive on diversity in thought and beliefs? Join Steve for the Pastor’s Study, a seven-session experience on engaging and embracing the spectrum of diversity in a church that exists in a Red-and-Blue World. On Wednesdays, September 11, 18, 25, October 2, 16, 23, and 30 from 9:30 am-11:00 am in the Steamers Room, join others who love one another and are learning how to talk and live in diversity, all the while finding their unity in Jesus and valuing the expression of ideas that cover the full spectrum of diversity. We’ll be using a book written by one of Steve’s Covenant brothers, Jack Haberer, as a resource for the study. Pick up a copy of Jack’s book, Swimming With The Sharks, at your favorite bookseller. Let’s be lifelong learners together.
There is one worship service this Sunday, September 15, at 10:30 am in the Sanctuary, followed by a potluck lunch and Town Hall Meeting in the Great Room. Baked Potatoes will be ready, so bring a topping or salads to go alongside.
The robes are cleaned, the new stoles have been delivered, and it’s time to start the choir back up!
Rehearsals begin Wednesday, September 4, and the choir sings the following Sunday, September 8. Rehearsals are from 6:00-7:00 pm. The season starts with anthems that center around our current series on Esther.
Feel free to invite a friend or family member with you to choir rehearsal. The more the merrier. See you all soon!
