Happy first day of fall! Thank you Lord. May the crisp air of autumn wash over all of us!
TONIGHT is our church's night to serve at the HIM Food Pantry. Please see how many are signed up (and sign up yourself) HERE.
This Sunday, Michael will continue the series, Naturally Supernatural, based on the book by Gary Best. Life Groups are following along with this series. We'll also hear from Rachel Tan on her team's recent trip to China.
It's not too late to sign up to host National Night Out. Those who sign up to host the Tuesday, Oct. 4th event in their neighborhood will receive a starter kit to help their efforts. Sign up in the Cafe between or after services on Sunday.
The Alpha Marriage Course is now starting October 2nd. See more details about this helpful class below. This is a wonderful class to invite friends and family to.
We are sending a team to join with Mercy Response at the Vineyard in Baton Rouge, the weekend of September 30, to help those affected by the floods. There is more information below.

Why I love National Night Out -
"I love National Night Out because it is such a natural, easy way to meet my neighbors, begin to get to know them, and build a relationship with them." Donna Palandro
Everyone has neighbors - Do you know who they are? Do you know their names? Seize the moment and host NNO! National Night Out is celebrated across the country to encourage
people to get out and meet their neighbors. Knowing your neighbors is one way to help with crime prevention, build camaraderie and community spirit. Last year we had 26 different locations where people hosted NNO.
We are especially excited about those of you who live in apartments or condos. Talk with the management and let them know you would like to host the evening in the clubhouse or poolside. If you live in a neighborhood, check to see if your HOA or Civic Club is doing anything for this event. If not, you could volunteer to host at your house for your block. It does not have to be fancy. It can be as simple as lemonade and some brownies!
Sign up is in the Cafe.
We will be there each Sunday through October 2nd. You can pick up your NNO starter kit.
Contact Donna if you have any questions.
Alpha is c
oming!
Lyle and Ashland Hall are now recruiting for the Alpha small group that will start in January. They have a variety of available jobs that have various levels of commitment. If you are not familiar with ALPHA, please read about it here. Please contact Ashlyn to find out more.

Your Kingdom Come Night of Prayer
Wednesday, October 26, 7-8pm
Join us as we pray as a church community for God's will to be done in our country and his peace to reign on earth as it is in heaven. Especially during this election season, we want to be people who welcome the Holy Spirit into every dimension of our life and are salt and light to the world. Please invite your family, Small Group members, neighbors and friends to this hour of prayer and worship. See you there!
