Announcements for Sept. 22-28-08

Life Groups- Our LIFE Group ministries have already started meeting. LIFE Groups are the small group ministry in our church. These groups are our way of living out Acts 2 as a church and for loving one another in all the ways Scripture describes. We are asking all people who would still like to be in a LIFE Group to fill out a card in the narthex. If you are not sure about our LIFE Groups or would like more information, you can grab a booklet in the narthex as well.

Sharing Grace Ministries - What a beautiful day Sept 13th turned out to be. The forecast had been calling for rain the whole week, but praise the Lord, our God is so much bigger than the weatherman. We prayed for God to give us a beautiful day so that the event wouldn’t be ruined, and did He ever bless us. We want to thank everyone that came out to support our benefit and to help us raise money for missionaries. The kids had a great time in the tractor pull, cornhole and the relays, winning trophies and gift bags full of prizes, plus when they weren’t playing games they were enjoying jumping in the bouncy house. The adults were enjoying themselves in the cornhole tournament and the trap shoot, taking home medals and winning door prizes. What a great time of fellowship we had that day, with it all ending with a Spaghetti dinner. We want to praise the Lord for helping us raise over $870 of support; without Him we would have nothing. Thank you again to all who came and supported us.

For His Glory,

Jeff and Tammy Dietrich
