WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DIE?
Most of us agree that the Bible has a lot to say about the afterlife; death and heaven are each mentioned hundreds of times in the scriptures. Why then, do we have so many questions about what happens to us when we die? Is heaven real? Who goes to heaven? Will we be reunited with our loved ones? What about hell, does it exist? Is there a Judgment Day? Invite a friend and join us as we seek biblical answers to our questions about death and eternal life.

THE 10 SECOND RULE BOOK STUDY STARTS SEPTEMBER 16!
|
|
All are welcome to this study of
The 10 Second Rule
by Clare De Graaf.
Each week a different chapter will be presented and discussed. Books will be available in the Narthex and in class.
Pre-reading of chapters is encouraged but not required as each week the leader will review the main points before discussion.
“All over the world, Christians are returning to the simple faith of Jesus by living by the 10-Second Rule. In so doing, you can discover the power of simple obedience as Jesus taught it and the early church lived it.”
Starting on September 16, we will be meeting at 9:15 in the Upper Room. Class leaders will be Lowell Gustafson, Jen Wannenburg, Beth Lindgren, Galen Black, Virginia Gardiner, Brian Ivey and Marge Miller.

PONDERING THE PARABLES BIBLE STUDY CONTINUES AUGUST 16!
REFLECTING ON JESUS’ STORIES ON FAITH
When temperatures soar and schedules slow, it's a great time to draw closer to the Lord through studying His Word. Please join Virginia Gardiner on
alternating Thursday evenings from 7-8:30 during August
to focus on some of Jesus' foundational parables. Upcoming dates for the study are
August 16, and 30
. Come to one or as many as you can, and enjoy growing your faith among friends. We'll gather at
Virginia's house
(see church directory), and weather permitting, will hang out on the deck, so dress for the garden! Light snacks and drinks will be available for anyone coming straight from work. If you'd like to prepare for the studies in advance, here are the parables we'll be studying each session:
8/16: Pharisee and Tax Collector (Luke 18:9-14)
Nobleman and the Pounds (Luke 19:11-26)
8/30: Wheat and Tares (Matthew 13:24-30)
The Two Foundations (Matthew 7:24-27)

THE NEXT CHOSEN 300 IS SATURDAY, AUGUST 25!
|
|
We need your help! Volunteers can be short in the summer months, so this would be a great time to join the effort if you've been thinking about getting involved! There are many different ways you can support this project, from planning the worship service, to shopping for groceries, to cooking the food, to serving it on site. We would especially appreciate volunteers to help with the worship service. This is an easy and wonderful way to participate and spread the love of Christ to this special mission. If you sign up, our Worship Coordinator, Elissa Schoenlank, will be in touch to provide all the support you need to prepare the message. Shopping, cooking, and serving will take place as listed the week of August 20. Many of these roles can be overlapping (e.g. cooking and cleanup, driving and serving) so please feel free to sign up for one or more tasks as your time allows!

A WAYNE CHURCH FAMILY NEEDS MEALS!
|
|
Our Meals and Support Ministry team is reaching out to ask for help in supporting one of our church families. Please consider assisting Kathleen and Shawn Seeley, who are taking care of their daughter, Alisha, as she recovers from major surgery and ongoing treatment that will be a tough hill to climb. They are also helping supporting their gorgeous little granddaughter, Sophia, as her mom recovers. We are aiming to help provide meals over the next 4 weeks, and as both Kathleen and Shawn work outside of the home, any help that we can give will be wonderful.
The dates listed are to provide the widest range of options for those providing meals. (it’s not intended to fill every night, every week).
For members who find cooking and delivering a meal is not convenient, an alternative option is to send a gift card for a grocery store (to pick up ready-made food if they wish) or to order take out from a local restaurant. Justine’s Cuisine (caterer in Broomall) is also an option where you can pick up meals on a Wednesday. Their number is 610-355-2253. Please click below to sign up for any date(s) that you are able to assist. In addition, please hold Alisha, her family and her medical team in prayer. Bless you as you help care for those in our church family. If you have any questions please contact Kimm Ebersole or Jenny Wannenburg.
Many thanks!

|
|
We are always looking for volunteers who would be willing to help Wednesdays and Thursdays, from 9am – to 1pm. You can even sign-up for a half-shift (9-11am or 11am-1pm)! Duties entail handing out Food Pantry bags and greeting visitors. (You can bring a book, tablet, or laptop to pass the time!) This is a vital ministry! Our volunteers are the face of our church to those who are in need, and your friendly face can go a long way toward making our recipients feel comfortable and welcome!
WANT TO DONATE? We are always in need of peanut butter, jelly, cereal, pasta and sauce.

Where Does All Our Rummage Money Go?
We generally raise over $5000 annually at our Rummage sales, and much of that goes to feed and clothe Jesus’ ‘sheep,’ mostly locally but sometimes well beyond.
In recent years we have paid for food, clothing, and other support for Chosen 300, have given money to replenish our food pantry, have bought Christmas gifts for needy kids, donated to Cradles to Crayons, and supported recent Youth and Costa Rica mission trips, among other things.
This summer, Rummage proceeds were used to make a significant contribution to creating The Well, our new main- floor welcome spot for visitors and old friends alike.
In this way, our Rummage sales help Wayne Church be the beacon of hope that Christ’s church needs to be in the community. With your help we can continue to be a friendly church with open doors, interaction with our community, and a source of help for those in need.

For the first half of 2018, revenue was $424,000 versus first half expenses of $421,000. Year over year, revenues increased 8% driven by an increase in offering. Expenses increased 4% year over year and were slightly above budget due primarily to front loaded property expenses in the first six months of 2018. Reserves remain below the historical target due to the 2017 operating deficit and investment in the sanctuary renewal.
