SETH BRAUN GUEST SPEAKER SUNDAY; WORKSHOP FOLLOWING

Seth Braun will be the guest speaker for our 10 a.m. service Sunday. He will weave tales of tension and triumph lifted from his most recent speaking tours in the US and Canada with his talk, "Road Warrior Stories: New Thought Field Notes." With wit and wisdom, Seth will share insights and other profound (and humorous) "Aha! " moments from the road. After the service, at 11:45, Seth will be offering a workshop titled "The Miracle Action Plan" where you will learn:

• How to get unstuck anytime
• The secret to successfully navigating times of transition
• The steps successful people know to stop sabotage
• The 5-Step process for conscious creation

Most importantly, you will learn how to fine tune the relationship between imagination, emotion and beliefs. This is subtle work. You'll get to actually change the energetic fabric of creation in one major area of your life. The results? Miracles! This workshop is being offered on a 'love offering' basis.

UPDATE FROM THE BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS
MAINTENANCE TEAM

We are invigorated (more so than the weeds growing outside), and aim to please. Our Mission is to stay one step ahead of those weeds. We have a new charter, and a renewed focus on growing not only beautiful flowers, but growing the size and involvement of our Buildings & Grounds Maintenance Team. We are looking for energetic and knowledgeable people to become core members of our team. If you have any interest and/or knowledge in building maintenance or love to garden and have a desire to assist us in the beautification efforts of our church, please contact Gary Gilbert at 319-892-3108 or gdgilbert58@yahoo.com. We need people to help plan, coordinate, motivate, and of course, invigorate. We will have a special Buildings and Grounds meeting on October 13 after Sunday Service at 11:30. Please come to inquire about ministry activities and bring ideas on how we can beautify our grounds to renew our commitment to the Earthcare Covenant.
