Friday's Update for October 3rd

Dear Pilgrims,

This Sunday we celebrate the Lord's love as we gather at His table for a time of communion. We continue in our series from 1 Peter with 1 Peter 3: 8 - 16 as our text. My message is titled, "Why We Do What We Do". Remember to bring your Bible this week.

Our first spaghetti dinner for the fall is this Saturday, 4:00 - 6:30 p.m. Invite your friends for an all-you-can-eat tasty meal.

We had a great first meeting for our men's breakfast. 15 guys gathered at 6:30 a.m. this past Thursday and enjoyed a delicious meal prepared by Bob Forst. We also shared life together and looked at a Scripture passage. We'll be meeting again this month and will keep you posted as to the date.

Tickets are on sale for the bar-be-que sponsored by our Missions ministry to help fund the November trip to Biloxi . You may purchase tickets in the office or on Sunday. The bar-b-que is scheduled for Saturday, October 11.

If you would like to help with the 11:00 a.m. coffee hour, your assistance would be appreciated. Phone the church office at 629-2633, see Joyce Rich or Carol Aitchison.

We are looking for lots of volunteers to lend a hand at our annual fall pumpkin fest on Saturday, October 25, 10:00 - 1:00. A sign up sheet will be in Sunday's bulletin. We anticipate about 150 kids.

Please remember Doc Goss who is hospitalized. Paul Burgwardt would appreciate your prayers as he recuperates from knee surgery, and Bob Forst will be having surgery next week.

As the economy continues on its rollercoaster, know that we have a God who is eternally faithful, steady and true, and we can rely upon Him always.

See you Sunday.

In His Grace,

Pastor Matthew Neumann
