October 2025
Fal Greetings! Welcome to October. We have a lot happening this month at our church. First up, we have our Fall church work day on October 4, where we gather as a church family to take care of some outdoor things in preparation of the coming winter. It's a great opportunity for everyone to pitch in before the seasonal change. And speaking of getting involved, our Women’s Guild is hosting a trip to the Shrine of Christ’s Passion on Friday October 10 at 2 pm for all interested! Sign up on our Guild bulletin board. Contact Jill Dill with your questions. Save another date on your calendars for the October17 Guild meeting at 2 pm. All ladies are welcome. Plan to be with us for our 3rd Sunday Singing on October 19! It's all about coming together as one big choir and raising our voices in praise. Whether you're an experienced singer or just love to sing along, this is your chance to let loose in a relaxed and joyful atmosphere. Additionally, we are diving deep into our study of Hebrews for our Bible Study sessions each Wednesday at 1 pm in the church library. Last but not least, October is Membership Month! If you've been considering joining our church family officially, this is the perfect time to take that step. We'll be welcoming new members with open arms and providing opportunities for them to connect and grow in their faith alongside others who share their beliefs. So whether you're a long-time member or just curious newcomer, let’s grow in Christ together as a family!
God’s blessings always,
Pastor Wendell
