the woman at the well

john 4
Can God use me when I've made mistakes?  When I've made a mess out of my life?  The story of Jesus' interaction with the Samaritan woman answers this question with a resounding "YES!".

We don't feel worthy...and we're not!  But HE MAKES US WORTHY and gives us the ability that we don't have on our own.

God CAN use you and wants to, will you let Him?

SuperU

Super U


Sunday, September 20
Episode #1:
World Changers choose wisely. Adam chose poorly and we can learn from his mistake.
James 4:17


It's time to unleash the Super-U inside. In these power packed episodes Johnny Rogers will take you to God's action hero boot camp to raise up the Superhero you were created to be. We'll discover how a World Changer Chooses Wisely, Trusts God, Lives Life on Purpose, Hangs Tough and Takes Risks for God. Yes Super Ones, God can use us in Super-Incredible ways! We'll need to suit up against the enemy and take action against distraction with the help of General Admission and his twin brother Major Idea. You'll be fully equipped as Super-U delivers the Compass Points specifically designed for heroes in the making. And you'll hear the debut of Superhero, the powerful worship song from K'MOTION. So man your stations and get ready to make your life count!

DON'T FORGET!
Friday, September 18 from 11am to 11pm is our day at the Allegan County Fair and I have to say, I am so touched at how many people have signed up to help!  You guys are awesome!  Thank you!

But if you haven't signed up yet and still want to that's OK, just come to the booth and help out.

We will have 3 shifts:

11am - 3pm
3pm-7pm
7pm-11pm

We could use both people to work the booth and dunkees!

See you Friday!


red cross blood drive
september 24
blood drive

We have another volunteer opportunity for us.  Brandon Andrus has worked to put together a Bridge sponsorship of the September 24th Red Cross Blood Drive in Allegan.

Drive is at the Griswold Auditorium lower level from noon - 6 pm
 
We need:

2 volunteers for registration
Noon - 3pm
and
3pm - 6pm

2 volunteers to work the food table
Noon - 3pm
and          
3pm - 6pm


We could also use some help distributing posters and table tents around the community 2-3 weeks before the drive.

The Red Cross tells us that with our participation we will be responsible for saving the lives of about 150 people!  Pretty cool!

We'll talk more and have a sign up at church this Sunday.
