In our Fall Sermon series, beginning this Sunday, Rev. Jim Warren's sermons will follow the current Prayer Group topics with the theme, "Listening to God."
Wandering in the Wilderness" is the sermon title. God led the Israelites for forty years in the wilderness. Sometimes we feel like we're wandering in our own wildernesses. Where is God when we're wandering in what seems like wilderness?
We will be blessed again with a gift of music by the Chancel Choir, including Drexler Singers, at the 9:00 a.m. traditional service. Our band at the 10:15 progressive One and All service in Fellowship Hall will be on a break this Sunday, but we will have familiar music on lyric videos that will inspire our worship. Bring a friend and enjoy breakfast together during the service!
Gifts for Another Table:
We did a great job in August. Let's do it again in September! Non-perishable food items brought to church this month will be given to Center for Hope Food Pantry. Needed items include: rice & rice dinners, pasta of any kind, pasta sauce, Hamburger Helper, dinner meals, cereal, mashed/boxed potatoes, and canned fruits and vegetables.

Things to Do While

Sign up to attend this Wednesday's Wednesday Supper Club by indicating how many are attending on an attendance pad. The September 19, 5:00 p.m., meal will be at Cracker Barrel. You may also call the church office at 829-9327 by 2:00 p.m. Monday, September 17 to RSVP.
Find out more about the Operation Santa effort led by the Disciples Women's Ministries by visiting the easel at the Information Center or visiting with Jan Dyer about what is needed.
Encourage a friend to write his or her email address on an attendance pad if he or she isn't currently getting emailed newsletters. There is a new attractive and handy electronic version of
The Messenger that your friends might like.
Make a new friend! Greet a visitor. Greet someone another member has greeted! Several contacts truly make a person feel welcome. A great resource for helping a visitor is the bulletin, and you can also walk them to the Information Center for another warm greeting and more information.
Check In on Facebook while you are at church. And at the One and All service feel free to use your device for social media, to share photos and thoughts about your worship experience as it happens. Our Check-Ins continue to increase. Keep up the great work!
