Together We Give and Serve
Each week in worship we project a Bible verse while the offering is being received.
Last Sunday's Verse for Reflection
Command those who are well off in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.
1 Timothy 6:17

Stephen Ministry Training Class
 Please pray for our Stephen Ministers as they continue to enhance their caregiving skills. Here is what they are learning this week.
Distinctively Christian Caring (Part 1)
This is the first of two sessions on distinctively Christian caring. Stephen Ministers explore the essentials of using their Christian faith in caring for another, drawing on
the resources of prayer, witnessing, the Bible, forgiveness, blessings, and more. An important motto of Stephen Ministry is "The Stephen Minister is the caregiver, and God is the curegiver." This training session underscores this Christ-centered focus for Stephen Ministers.

Commemoration of St. Francis
Sunday, October 9
Sunday, October 9 we observe the second of three
Sundays this fall which emphasize a different part of our
2017 Stewardship theme-- "Together We Give and Serve."
We focus on Serve as we honor the witness of St. Francis,
who lifted up care for the poor and regard for animals as
important parts of our mission to serve the world in Jesus'
name. The morning will include--
--introduction to the Good Gifts program of the ELCA,
which is a way to provide farm animals to families to
promote economic self-sufficiency. Farm-themed savings
banks will be distributed (Ministry Moment)
--a blessing of stuffed animals for children, or any others
who may wish to participate (Children's Message)
--service projects for a local animal shelter, including
making dog treats, rope dog toys, and catnip toys (after
worship in Founders Hall)
--"Petting Farm" on the patio (after worship) Anyone with
an animal who would enjoy taking part, please see Julee
Rich or Pastor Bryan.
