WHAT FOLLOWS IS ON A “NEED
TO KNOW” BASIS
…
and, you need to know!
Dear Christian Friends!
COME! This is your Invitation to
come to the Re-Dedication of our
Our faculty will be in
their classrooms; the dedication will be in the Gym; and the future of our
children will be in our hearts … where it has been since 1863. Plan now to stay
late after the 8 AM service – or to come early before the 10:30 AM service. Plan now to come!
DON’T COME! Did you ever think you’d
hear a pastor (maybe, and especially, this one!) tell you not to come to
Church? Well, you have now! But, only on one Sunday – October 10. Now, here’s
the whole story … what you need to know! We’ll be joining in a national effort:
“Don’t Come to Church – Be the Church!” It’s a Sunday for putting our faith in
action! You’ll hear much more in the coming weeks, but this much you need to
know now: we won’t be having a church service that morning … we’ll be a church
in service!
You will have the
opportunity to live out your faith with others that morning, or even by
yourself or as a family. All I ask of your right now is this: pray for the
success of this special event – success in others seeing Christ in us and in or
actions. Plan now … not to come!
CALL! You will be hearing that
word a great deal in the coming months! Call – what we hope to do by next
spring: call a man to serve as our Assistant Pastor. Our Ministry Directors
have appointed a Call Committee, and they have held their first meeting (and
will be meeting regularly across the fall and into the winter). The members of
the committee are:
Historically,
You need to know many things
– and reading the “Seed Packet” helps make certain you know! But more than
anything else, you need to know that “Jesus did many other miraculous signs in
the presence of His disciples, which are not recorded in [the Bible, but those that are] are written that you may believe
that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have
life in His name.” (John 20:30-31)
Blessings,
