Sunday
"We really do need each other."   Our family Sunday includes communion, worship and a message from 1 Corinthians 12:14-25.

'Getting along may seem terribly complex, but everyone one of us is important, and placed here by God.'
A SPECIAL ONE-TIME OPPORTUNITY!
The "Grace Conference" is a first-time, one-time event.  This is not a "pre-packaged" event that is touring the country.  If you miss it - you will have missed an opportunity that may never happen again.

We've heard that some people believe this conference is only for families with children.  Although there is one session with an emphasis on parenting, the conference is intended for people of all ages.  Getting old doesn't diminish our need for grace - we may even need more of it as we age!

Perhaps we should also address the cost.  The ticket prices was set at an amount that would cover our costs.  Even so, $50 a couple may seem like a lot to some, but it is less than $8.50 a session per person.  Even the least expensive ticket for a Royals game is $10 (parking, etc. not included).  For some $50 is no more than a dinner at a nice restaurant.  For others, it may be a big deal.  If you want to attend, but haven't figured out how to work it in your budget, talk to Pastor Roger. 

Please take a close look at the article below and seriously consider attending and make sure your friends and neighbors know about this opportunity.

Announcing Fall Small Groups

A small group is a great way to get better connected, support each other in our journey, socialize and learn.

The material for this 6-week study will be "True Spirituality, Becoming a Romans 12 Christian." 

There's a place for everyone!
Pray at 12 Challenge
Please Join us for 
Deerbrook's church-wide "Pray at 12 Challenge"
          Stop & pray at 12 noon for 12 days
 
In connection with our True Spirituality emphasis this fall, we want to take special time as a church body to prepare our hearts and invite God to move so we can become "Romans 12 Christians" - Christians who really live like followers of Jesus.   A recommended guide for 12 days of prayer is available on our website.
Church Work Day - Saturday, September 5
Saturday morning, September 5, has been  set as a time to take care of some much needed building and grounds maintenance. 

The hallway upstairs has almost as many spots as a leopard and desperately needs a new coat of paint.  Another room looks so bad that Roger refuses to use it.  Our landscaping needs to be weeded and there are numerous places that just need some cleaning and attention. 

If you want to help, but Saturday, September 5 won't work for you, let us know when you will be available and we'll make appropriate arrangements.
 
Pizza will be provided for lunch.

You can make an immediate, visible difference!

A special thanks to Joe Burton, Rick Simmons, Alex and Evan Andersen and their home school friends who loaded the chairs. 

In October, Randy and Laura Horn will be going to Romania to help with a wheelchair distribution there.
