NOTE: NO LIVESTREAM THIS SUNDAY,
OCTOBER 23
Due to the security of one of our missionaries who will be a big part of the service on Sunday, we will not be streaming any of the services. However, because the lift is currently out of service, each service will be live on screen in the Library for those unable to access the Worship Center.
|
|
|
|
We are sorry that the lift is not working at this time. A repairman will be in next week, but we are not sure when it will be up and running again. We will keep you posted.

Sunday, November 13 is our next baptism Sunday. If you're interested in being baptized, please sign up on the event registration page on our website. We will then be in touch with you for next steps.

BELLA MEDICAL CLINIC BLANKET COLLECTION & BLANKET-MAKING EVENT
The Compassion Team is collecting new blankets this month for Bella Medical Clinic. Blankets can be sized anywhere from newborn up to two years old. They can be dropped off by the Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. This collection campaign will end with a blanket-making event next Saturday, October 29, from 9 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
The blanket-making is open to anyone in the church who would like to participate; however, child care is not provided. Enough fleece has been purchased to make 24 blankets, but if you'd like to provide your own fleece and/or bring your favorite cutting mats or utensils, you are welcome to do so. Any questions, please reach out to Mary Lee (920-379-3371).

May God's blessings be on these families during this exciting time!
If you have a new baby that we have not yet acknowledged, please let us know! We want to celebrate all new babies in our church, and we don't mean to overlook anybody.
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” -- Matthew 19:14
