LADIES NEXT BOOK TO READ!
The next book up for discussion will be Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson which is an unforgettable account of an idealistic, gifted young lawyer’s coming of age, a moving window into the lives of those he has defended, and an inspiring argument for compassion in the pursuit of true justice. We plan to meet on December 7 at 7pm (most likely on Zoom) for discussion.

FALL FINANCIAL UPDATE
THANK YOU FOR YOUR FAITHFUL SUPPORT OF WAYNE CHURCH!
For the nine months ending September 30, revenue was $602,423 and expenses amounted to $550,132. This surplus typically occurs because giving is often front loaded at the beginning of the year. In addition, we have been fortunate to receive a number of generous “one-time” gifts. As the current level of giving lags the past two years, we are forecasting that we will be below budget by $56k for the year. When factoring in reduced investment and rental income, a $70k revenue shortfall is forecast. However, due to diligent cost management and cost avoidance throughout the year we appear to be on track for Wayne Church to break even in 2020. Your continued prayers and fulfillment of your pledge commitment are greatly appreciated at this challenging time.

LOVE HALLOWEEN? LET'S TRUNK OR TREAT!!
October is here and what better way to start the month than talk about Halloween! Wayne Church is hosting a Trunk or Treat in our parking lot on Sunday, October 25th from 3-4 pm for kids ages 2 through 8th grade. We want to make this a great event for Wayne Church kids so we need folks to sign up to decorate their cars for Halloween. Nothing scary, just fun stuff to celebrate the season. Here’s a reason to come together (in a socially distant way) because we all need a little fun! Sign up below to decorate your car for some TRUNK or TREAT silliness! Questions? Contact Christine Garton below for more info.

WEDNESDAY MORNING BIBLE STUDY
When: Starting Wednesday, October 21 at 9:30am
This year, the Wednesday morning Bible study (meeting weekly on Zoom) will do an in depth look at the Letter to the Hebrews. Whereas Paul saw himself primarily as an apostle to the gentiles, the unknown author of this letter preaches the gospel to believers who have come to Christ out of the context of Judaism. Join us as we explore how the Israelite tradition informs our understanding of who Jesus is and what He is calling His followers into. New members should contact Katie McNabb at katesend@aol.com to get the Zoom sign in.

LADIES EVENING BIBLE STUDY: BE THE BRIDGE
When: Alternating Wednesdays at 7pm
Dates: 10/21, 11/4, 11/18, 12/2, 1/6, 1/20, 2/3, 2/17
All ladies are invited to join in this new Bible study exploring “Be the Bridge; Pursuing God’s Heart for Racial Reconciliation” by Latasha Morrison. In an era where we seem to be increasingly divided along racial lines, many are hesitant to step into the gap, fearful of saying or doing the wrong thing. At times the silence, particularly within the church, seems deafening. Join us to learn more! This will be a zoom study until it is safe to meet in person. Each week we will read a chapter and answer the reflective questions at the end of each chapter. This is flexible, attend as you are able each week, but please let Kimm know so she can send you the zoom invite. You do not need to let Kimm know when you can’t attend.

MEN'S BREAKFAST: THE BOOK OF RUTH
When: Thursdays @ 7am
Next date: November 5
Please join us from your home as we study the Book of Ruth. God can seem distant when dreams fade, people die, or careers fail. It may feel like he slammed the door in your face and walked out for good. No one knows the feeling of abandonment more than Ruth and Naomi. Their story begins with the worst—death, famine, and poverty. And God remains silent. But the book of Ruth doesn’t end with despair. The story brims with hope because God works on behalf of the two widows in ways they least expect, behind the scenes. On the surface, this book tells the story of two widows and a kind landowner. Even more, it teaches us about God’s faithfulness, love, and providence.
For anyone interested, please contact Pastor Ebersole and he will send you the instructions to sign on to Zoom from your computer or other device. Zoom can be used with laptops, iphones, tablets, ipads, and computers- most any device that can connect to the internet.
