Greetings!
Last Sunday we began exploring the fundamentals of Methodism as we celebrated the fact that God's grace is for everyone! This week we will continue exploring those fundamentals as we explore our firm belief that God can best be described as love. Our Scripture lesson this week comes from the first letter of John:
7Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love. 9God's love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might live through him. 10In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11Beloved, since God loved us so much, we also ought to love one another. 12No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us. 1 John 4:7-12
- How does John describe love?
- Why according to this passage should we love God?
- According to this passage, love is not God but God is love. What does that teach us about the character of God?
- If God is love, what are some things we can be sure are true of God?
- If God is love, what are some things we can be sure God would not do?
- What are some descriptions of God that others have shared with you that could not be true if God is love?
- In what ways do others see God's love through your life?
- What attitudes, habits, or actions need to change in your life for God's love to be perfected (fulfilled) in you?
Our children will bless us with their music this Sunday. I hope you will all be there to support them.
See you Sunday!

New Life Youth
Sunday Nights in the Fellowship Hall
Optional Meal and Hang Out 5:30 - 6:00 pm
Bible Study 6:00 - 7:30 pm
For 6th - 12th Grades
Theme: Under Construction
Building a relationship with God doesn't require a contractor's license or an architect's degree, but it does require work on our part. Having the right tools and blueprint will help you construct a solid relationship with our Holy Savior. In truth, building that relationship strong is a lifelong process - we're always "under construction."
Meal for October 10th:
Lasagna
Cost: $3.00
Youth Center Renovations
The youth center is currently under renovation. If you, your family, or small group would like to adopt one of the rooms at the youth center, see Milanda for details. The adoption may include labor, wall decor, furniture or money. We are hoping to be finished with downstairs painting by October 10th.
Youth Fundraisers
Rada Cutlery: The Youth will be selling Rada Cutlery as a fundraiser. Great Christmas gifts for friends, family, parents, grandparents, neighbors, co-workers, teachers, coaches, and volunteers! Contact Sherry Newton to purchase.

Watch bulletin and newsletter for details.

Our annual Trunk-or-Treat will be held on Saturday, October 30th, in conjunction with Grant community trick or treating. This is a huge outreach event for us!
This year we will be combining our Trunk-or-Treat with Carnival Games. The games will be interspersed among the trunks in the parking lot. We need sponsors for each game. If you would like to participate in both trunk decorating and a carnival game, side by side spaces will be reserved for you.
Listed below are some of the available games --however, feel free to come up with your own. Please simply let me know so I can reserve a space for you.
2 liter ring toss, dish toss, milk bottle/baseball, balloon bust, grand prize toss, pin the nose on the pumpkin, duck pond, bounce house, fishing hole
There will be a sign-up chart in the narthex in the next few weeks, or you may simply email me your preference.
Our Needs: Please start bringing in LOTS of candy/prizes. Dollar store or Oriental Trading is great! Also, any old or mismatch dishes or glasses you'd like to donate.
Please remember this is a church function-- no scary themes or costumes -- and plan accordingly.
