OCTOBER SERMONS


THE MAX FACTOR

5—”First Light” Factor
12—The “Abraham” Factor
19—The “Jesus” Factor
26—The “Acts” Factor

STAND UP FOR JESUS CONVENTION


Think of it as a political convention for Jesus. Churches will be there from across Cass and Miami County to cast their vote for Jesus in a mockup of an old time political convention with various congregations holding their placards high for Christ. The event will take place Saturday, October 25th, at the Miami County Fair Grounds Exhibit Building

Breakfast will be served from 8 til 10 a.m.
Lunch will be served from 11 a.m. til 6 p.m.

Singing will go on throughout the day featuring groups from various churches as well as Family Ties, The Jubilees and our own SonShine Boys. Main program will begin at 6 p.m. (For more info, see bulletin board).

ANNUAL MEETING


October 26th at Noon
Our annual meeting has always been in January, but we decided we couldn’t make the proper plans for the upcoming year after it was already a month gone… so we’ve moved it to October. The meeting will be preceded by a carry-in meal (always a great thing to do) and the various ministries will be able to tell us what has happened over the past year. THERE WILL BE ONE SERVICE that Sunday!

TRUNK OR TREAT


Our Fall Festival (intended as a safe and family friendly alternative to Halloween) is scheduled for Sunday, October 19th starting at 4 pm. Kids are encouraged to dress up in all kinds of outfits for our “Costume Parade”, but please NO ghoulish or frightening masks and attire.


We’ll have a hayride, games, food, and—of course—the trunks of cars backed up in a semi-circle and loaded with candy. Greg Peck will be bringing the devotion which will help the kids center on the Christ who changes people (and dresses them in elegant white garments in eternity).
There’ll be a signup for people that want to bring their cars, and another for volunteering to do various activities.
