September 2023
Hey everyone….once again…..where has our Summer gone? Special thanks are in order for everyone who helped manage the Lake County Fair parking lot this year. Your efforts are greatly appreciated! School has started for most and the Labor Day Weekend traditionally ushers in the beginning of the Fall season. The hint of tree colors, corn, apples and pumpkins make this time of year extra special! Let’s keep moving forward for the Lord as our seasons and circumstances adjust along the journey! You can know who holds your tomorrow!
Looking ahead to a fantastic month of September. Our Stewardship Sundays will begin September 10th and continue thru month’s end. The 2023 Giving Theme is “Worthy is the Lamb.” Let’s ask God to prepare our hearts to give toward our church’s weekly financial needs. We will have opportunities to put our “Sheep” with our names on them next to the Stewardship picture at the front of the church in giving our finances, time and talents! The Lord loves a cheerful giver! Let’s do our part to honor the Lord in ALL our gifts back to Him!
Bible Study begins again on Wednesday September 13th at 1 pm. Our Fall study will once again cover the prophetic book of Revelation and will be both in person and online. Come out and enjoy some fellowship while studying God’s Word with us! Even non-members are welcome! Advance study sheets available from Pastor Wendell.
Special thanks to each of you who make St. John’s UCC a church on the go. Kathy and I further thank you for all your love and support towards us this past year. We love our church family more than words can express. Be steadfast and safe as we battle through these uncertain days. Let’s continue to GROW in Christ together!
God Bless!
Pastor Wendell
