MESSIAH PRESCHOOL SAYS THANKS
FOR BLESSING BOXES!
 From Donna Swanson, Preschool Director: "On behalf of myself and the staff at Messiah Preschool we so appreciate the generosity of the congregation in providing the supplies needed to fill each box. The children enjoy the ownership of having their own pencil box and are making an extra effort in taking good care of their supplies. All of us on staff were thrilled with our baskets that we received as well. From snacks to cleaning supplies, everything has been used and greatly appreciated."
Pastor Bob and Jeannie met their granddaughter, Helaena in NYC! Being a grandparent is so very sweet!
PATH SAYS THANKS

NEW STUDY WITH PASTOR JAY
BEGINS NEXT WEEK
All are invited to join this 5-week study, "Echoes of the Prophets." Compare Gospel passages with passages from the Old Testament’s prophetic books, examining how Jesus was both influenced by the prophets and perceived as a prophet by his initial audience.
 
Meet on Wednesdays at 4pm or 7pm beginning September 29. We will also provide an online option.
DRIVE THRU MONDAYS
Thanks to our animal ministry, ALL GOD'S CREATURES for helping with our Drive Thru this week! We appreciate all of the donations for the Caring Hands Food Pantry.

Note from Deenna Eley, Caring Hands Coordinator:
"The consistent and faithful donations truly make our Wednesday mornings fabulous. Something simple makes a great impact. I love listening to the clients when their favorite item is available. They love the extras - condiments, sauces, dressings, drinks as well as the favorite staple items such as peanut butter, corn, beans, fruit and cereal. Please know all of your donations are received with gratitude every single week.
We have been so blessed to receive the basic food items from 2nd Harvest and our Grocery Rescue pick ups where we can provide meat, eggs, produce and milk most weeks has been wonderful. So, the gift of the extras which you provide is truly the cherry on top for those we serve. THANK YOU!"

Remember, when you SHOP -buy extra - and DROP in your trunk to bring on Mondays!

Come see us next week on Monday, September 27 between 9-11am. Our RELAY FOR LIFE team will be hosting. Stop by and grab a donut! We look forward to seeing you!
BLESS YOUR PETS
 Plan to bring your pets to church and receive a blessing from our pastors on Sunday, October 3 at 11:30am on the North Lawn. All of God's creatures are welcome!
