And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea,
"Peace, be still."And the wind ceased, and there was a
great calm.... And they said one to another, "What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
(Matthew 4:39-41, KJV)

New Foyer Groups forming
Foyer Groups consist of eight or so people who get together once a month to share a potluck meal and fellowship in the homes of members. We're thankful to have Debbie Phelps organizing the groups this year. A kick-off party is scheduled for Oct. 14, but more about that later. In the meantime, if you'd like to be in a group, contact Debbie
here. You don't need to attend the kick-off party to be included in the groups--but we hope you do!
