From Pastor Jon
How well do your actions align? If we're honest, this is a struggle for all of us at times. This week we begin a five week exploration of the book of James, specifically these areas: our actions during trials, the way we speak and relate to others, our treatment of those less fortunate, seeking godly wisdom and being obedient to God’s will, and the importance of being faithful in prayer in our lives. The Bible Reading Plan is below.
Pastor Mark Putman will be speaking in the Sanctuary and at Salem. Pastor Jonathan Kollmann will bring the message in the Worship Center. We will be taking Communion. At the Anderson Campus, Back2Back missionaries, Hope & Cheque Garcia will give up update on their work in the Dominican Republic. Sunday Night we will have worship at our Salem Campus, 6 pm, free childcare.

Information Meeting Tuesday, Sept. 27, 7 pm
Join us in the Sanctuary tonight where our District Superintendent, Rev. Jenn Lucas, will share information about the UMC and what the next required steps are to move towards a congregational vote on disaffiliation.
In my first letter, in July, about disaffiliation, I said that some UMC Bishops had denied our core beliefs without accountability. Last Friday, I answered questions about what those beliefs are, and why they matter so much. You can find all the info at https://andersonhills.org/denomination.
See you Sunday,
Pastor Jon
