Dear Church Family,
I pray everyone is doing well! One of our daughters and our grand kids were able to come over yesterday for a birthday dinner and games.
Announcements:
We celebrated Pastor Tony and Aimee last Sunday. They were given a gift basket of some of their favorite items. People in the congregation shared stories of appreciation for their ministry. Keep Pastor Tony and his family in your prayers throughout the year.
Thanks to the Outreach Committee, Seth Lohr and others for a delicious chili meal following worship.
Plan on joining us for a Church work day this Saturday, October 12th from 8am-12pm. We will work outside unless the weather is bad. Pizza will be served for lunch. Contact Dave Slovinski if you have any questions.
Joys and Praises:
Pastor Tony rejoiced that the lump found on his father’s back was not cancer. Continue to keep Bob Brinson in your prayers as he looks for answers for the pain he is experiencing.
Brandon Carpenter gives praise for his mom and her being by her side throughout his incarceration.
Patrick thanks God that he will be out Work Release at the end of this week. He encourages others to keep trusting God for He is with you.

A visitor to our church shares that they were blessed by our worship.
