In Worship This Week: ...What do you need?
This week we recognize that we all have needs and that we need each other. We are reminded that we can’t assume to know what is best for others. As we reflect on the story of Paul’s reaching out in his moment of need, we are invited to consider our own needs, priorities, and desires, and how we can care for the needs of those around us. This week's story comes from 2 Timothy 4:9-18 . You can find a link to the scripture here.

Restarting 'Growth Groups'
A Growth Group is a small group of people who meet regularly to grow closer to God and each other in an accepting and safe environment.
Our growth groups are restarting in October! We’ll be meeting on Thursdays at 6:30PM in the church Library (because of the virus). Members of the Quayle and Penrod groups and everyone else are invited (and encouraged) to be part of this worthwhile ministry. Our first meeting will be on October 28th. More details coming soon!

Murder on the Orient Express Outing
Our very own Clyde Sacks will be performing at Conifer's StageDoor Theatre in Agatha Christie's “Murder on the Orient Express” opening on September 24th and goes through October 17th.
We are organizing a group of us for dinner and a show on Saturday, October 9th. Dinner will be at JJ Madwell's for 5:30pm with the show at 7:30pm.
Per the Jeffco Health Department, proof of vaccine or negative COVID test within 72 hours is required to enter and masks are required within the building.
Some fun facts about this show:
- Only the bible and Shakespeare have been sold more than Agatha Christie
- This show was her favorite murder mystery
- Commissioned by the Agatha Christie Foundation because it had never been a play, only a movie and novel
- It played for a very short amount of time before COVID in 2019, this will be first time it will be performed in the US since then
