Youth Happenings!
Hello all and Happy October -
Each Wednesday in September, we talked about strategies for dealing with stress based on different scripture passages. In October, we are going to build on that theme and discuss ways to uplift and encourage others. So while September was
focused on our own mental and spiritual health, October will be a time when we turn our focus outward to how God can use us in our families, schools, and communities.
We will base this month's lessons around four scripture passages: 1 Timothy 4, 1 Corinthians 12, Exodus 16, and Acts 11. These stories will remind us that, no matter our age or environment, God can use us to encourage and lift others up!
We will participate in the Crop Walk Sunday, Oct. 21. For more information, email me!
If you are interested in providing dinner for the youth in October, please let me know! We are always appreciative of your ministry.
Peace,
Kaitlin Mundy

Crisis Control Ministry
The year 2017 is quickly passing by. Up to now, you have prepared approximately 270 breakfasts, 270 lunches and 270 suppers for your family. However, one day you open your cupboard and the shelves are bare! If only... Here folks, is where Crisis Control Ministry can help those in need. With the items you cheerfully bring each month, Crisis Control can fill those shelves. October has been designated as BOXED DINNER month. This can include Hamburger Helper, macaroni and cheese, etc-anything made from a box. Help fill those cupboards! You will be blessed.
