Celebrate Recovery

 This past Sunday, Sept 18th, the New Young Married Class led by David & Mary Kylie Ruff dedicated this month's class event in honor of Brenton Montgomery, who will deploy to Afghanistan on October 1st. The backyard BBQ dinner was complete with a banner that read, "We've Got Your Back," proudly showing the support of Brenton's Getwell Road family. Captain Brenton Montgomery is the commander of the 288th Sapper Company from Houston, MS. He and 95 other soldiers will serve a 12-month deploment. Please keep Brenton, along with other Getwell members and family who serve our country, in your prayers!

We need you ... especially during the 8:30 service, to assist with the security usher duties on Sunday mornings and Wednesdays evenings. These duties would include maintaining security near the FLC and walking the campus. We are looking for people who are trained or willing to be trained to respond appropriately if a security situation arises. Contact Amber Johansen for more information, amberjohansen@hotmail.com.

Spiritual parenting class begins

A new adult class will begin September 21st called, "Spiritual Parenting." The class will meet from 6-7:30 PM in AEA Room 2997 and will be led by Greg Meek. In Spiritual Parenting, we are called as parents to depend upon God for our children's spiritual and moral development, urging us toward a heart posture of surrender and faithfulness. The end goal is a vibrant faith that is passed on from one generation to another.  New members may join through Sept. 28.
