IN THIS ISSUE

FROM THE PASTOR...
Church 

"There are three conversions necessary: the conversion of the heart, the mind and the purse. Of these three, it may well be that we moderns find the conversion of the purse the most difficult." Martin Luther
Our Stewardship Team reminds us that Christian stewardship is about using our time, talents, and treasure effectively for God's purposes here in this place.  What gets me excited about Stewardship is that it is an intimate partnership with the Creator!

  Little Lights Preschool
 
    With Fall starting, we've been talking about how the weather changes with the seasons.  Believe it or not, our preschoolers can't wait for it to snow!  Hopefully, we don't have to worry about that for a while.
    Halloween is on the minds of all the children.  They have already started deciding what costumes they'll be wearing to our party.
    They will be doing a variety of activities including the numbers 1 and 2, the colors purple, brown, black and Halloween.
    Our preschoolers in the MWF classes will learn that God helps us do hard things through stories about David.  The T/TH classes will learn about Abraham and how God takes care of us.  There will be no preschool October 15-19 during Fall Break!

 CHIILDREN/YOUTH NEWS

     

Once again I am reaching out to you the congregation of the North Judson United Methodist Church.  Many of you have stated that having children and youth in our church is a high-priority to you.  We cannot expect parents to bring their children to a church that doesn't offer programs for their children when they show up.  The church needs more than just your words to help fill these positions!  It needs YOU!  If you are a screened volunteer or would like to be one and would like to volunteer to work with our church children, please contact:  Kathy Vorm at church or call 574-896-3205.
