ALICE TRAINING for EVERYONE
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27
 9:00AM – 12:30PM
WAYNE CHURCH in the SANCTUARY
 
The threat of an active shooter attack in a church is rare but very real.   And it is our responsibility to be as prepared as we possibly can for such an unfortunate event.   Therefore, we ask all of you to come together on Saturday, October 27, at 9:00am in the sanctuary for a very important training event.   Mark Beideman, a United Methodist Pastor from the ALICE Training Institute (Alert Lockdown Inform Counter Evacuate), will teach us what to do in an active shooter scenario.   ALICE believes that individuals must be trained with options that allow them to respond proactively, rather than a passive, mandated, one size fits all response. Everyone should have the knowledge and skills to survive when shots are fired which can be achieved by training as many people as possible and implementing training in drill form. Therefore, we ask for your presence at this important event.
ALICE is the #1 active shooter civilian response training for organizations and we will receive training specifically designed for houses of worship. This training is similar to the training our children receive in their schools. Coffee, water and refreshments will be available at the event.
For more information visit https://www.alicetraining.com/our-program/alice-training/worship/ If interested, there is a civilian training video available on this site provided for a fee. This video is designed as a primer for our onsite training but is not required.

PROVERBS: ANCIENT WISDOM IN A MODERN WORLD
Google? Answers.com? Wikipedia? Where do modern people find wisdom? For centuries people looked to the Book of Proverbs to learn the truth about God, moral behavior and the meaning of life. This early Old Testament collection of sayings and instructions offers wisdom from the perspective of people of faith thousands of years before our time. Join us for five weeks this Fall as we seek ancient wisdom for some of our modern problems.

Singles, Couples, and Parents with Young Children
We have met, picked our first study, and are excited to invite you to join us as we go through Max Lucado’s 5 week study on “Anxious for Nothing”.   Our study is very casual, come as you can.   Grab your coffee from the Well, come, relax and talk with us.   You do not need to be present for all 5 weeks. Nothing to purchase, everything needed will be supplied.
 
Description of the book:
Americans especially know about living in perpetual anxiety. According to one research program, anxiety-related issues are the number one mental health problem among women and are second only to alcohol and drug abuse among men. Stress-related ailments cost the nation $300 billion every year in medical bills and lost productivity.
 
"The news about our anxiety is enough to make us anxious," says   Max Lucado. But there's a prescription for dealing with it. In   Anxious for Nothing, Lucado invites readers into a study of Philippians 4:6-7.  
 
"With His help you will learn to face the calamities of life. You'll learn how to talk yourself off the ledge. Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you will learn to view bad news through the lens of sovereignty; to discern the lies of Satan and tell yourself the truth. You will manifest a gentleness that is evident to others. Anxiety comes with life. But it doesn't have to dominate your life."
 
We look forward to seeing you on the 28th!
MEN'S BREAKFAST!
When: Thursday mornings, November 1, 15 & December 6 at 6:15am
Where: The Well
In the church today, many men find themselves confused about what it actually means to be a man. Our culture does little to help. The result is a generation of men who struggle to embrace their responsibilities, roles, and the purpose for which God created them. Join the Wayne Church Men’s Breakfast in The Well as we tackle this subject using Mark Batterson’s “Play The Man.”   Each lesson provides practical truths for immediate application so that men everywhere can be the brothers, husbands, fathers, and leaders God created them to be.

CRADLES TO CRAYONS CLOTHING & TOY DRIVE HAS BEGUN!!
Wayne Church is partnering with Cradles to Crayons in Conshohocken to collect and deliver donations for drop off. Philadelphia ranks #1 consistently as the city with the largest deepest poverty (family of four living on $12k or less).  As some of you know, this grass roots organization is remarkable filling 400 to 500 orders every week.    They are in particular need of NEW items for the children   (underwear, socks, PJs for boys & girls:    sizes    (Infant to 24 months, then 1T, 2T all the way to 14/16)  We are also going to extend our collection to any gently used items (coats are a biggie!!) to see if we can make an even bigger dent, like toys, books, shoes and clothes.    Another GREAT suggestion Cradles offered is to donate KOHL’s cash certificates that are given out to customers. Together we can make a difference in the lives of those in need. Look for the collection bin in the Office Lobby. We will be collecting through November 18.
