YOU WERE MADE TO LIVE IN COMMUNITY!

Church is not a building we visit on Sunday mornings, a social club, or a moral obligation - it's a community of brothers and sisters who share life together.  Join us this Sunday, as our study of the church and covenant community continues.  We will also participate together in a Baby Dedication Service and enjoy an update from Donny Coulter on the ministry in Canada.

**Please pray for John Phillips, his brother died yesterday.

**From the Flood Relief Office:  We will have a drywall class available at 6 pm on Tuesday, Sept 7. We need to know if you are coming and we will actually go into a house for on the job training. There may be a limit to how many we can handle. If we have a large response we could open up to a second location on the same night. This would be great opportunity for a lifegroup to gain some skill that would be helpful to others and express the love of Jesus - click here if you plan to attend.
 
**Please pray for Shannon Elder, who is recovering from surgery today.

**Please pray for Lala Johnson, recently discharged from the hospital

**The Elders 50th Anniversary Celebration is this Sunday at 2:30pm in the cafeteria. 

**We still have tickets for sale for $10 for Sunday night's Sounds game - see Trevor Castle on Sunday to buy your tickets.  All proceeds benefit LCS.
Flood Relief needs
this week
Each week, we will use this section of our e-newsletter to let you know what opportunities are available this week in flood relief.  You are needed in the Antioch community!  Help us to show the practical love of Jesus to families in our community.

Needs this week, from Melissa Thomas:

-We need some people to do clean up around the flood relief office. We have so little money and no way to pay anyone to do this.  Practically speaking, I don't know how we will keep this job done here. Maybe some life groups would love to do that? All of that is an indirect service to the community and a direct ministry to Jesus. (weed eating, mowing, etc)
 
-I have at least 3 places that need drywall hung right now. We are willing to teach how to do that.
 
-We have someone who needs their bathroom torn out before next week.
 
-A family of 8 (6 young kids) needs roof work done as water continues to leak down into the bedroom walls
 
-A very needy family next door to Sabrina Hayes needs studs and framing replaced in their front wall. You can see thru the wall to outside.
