Dear JCC Family and Friends, 
 
Beginning Oct 5 Pastor Bill will begin a 4 part series on what do you do when an unexpected crisis hits. He will be sharing things he discovered when hit by a 6 day hospital stay that led to a medical miracle. In this unpredictable world we live in, crises are a part of life.  A wise man prepares ahead of time and recognizes how God works so we can identify the signs of a miracle in the making. Invite friends to join us.  


This past Sunday morning we heard the final message in a three installment series "A Call to Serve" as part of our September "Ministry Fair month". There is a place for everyone to grow into a person as Jesus said, is "the greatest among us - servant of all".  Thanks to all of our willing volunteers who helped out with the Kairos meal on Wednesday, the Youth "See you at the Pole" prayer and the BTL Youth Retreat.  A great big thank you to our many ministry leaders who made the  "Ministry Fair" displays and manned their stations in September.
 
JCC will be presenting a Tim Buck original Christmas Play this year. There  are ways you can be involved in presenting the Gospel in a very creative way.  Contact our church office for details.  Be a part of this exciting original presentation Dec 5, 6 and 7.

This Sunday we will gather to Worship together at 8:45 & 11am   We will receive communion, our monthly missions offering and our "My 2 cents" offering to help our children meet their missions giving goal.  Sunday School life groups meet at 10:10am.

Oct 5  Lifechain -  2 -3 pm at Paul VI high school in Fairfax City

On Sunday evening at 6 pm Pastor Abtew Kebede will be preaching at our monthly healing service.     BTL Youth Ministry will be meeting as well as JCC Kidz.   It will be a great day here at JCC!
  See you this Sunday!  Bring a friend or neighbor.


  
8-9pm  Continue to spread the word through the red wristbands, window decals, personal words and social networks.  Prayer can change our world!  Remember, if you cannot join us at JCC, pray the prayers of agreement in the prayer focus between 6 and 9pm found on "wearethepeople.me" website, Facebook or twitter or the insert in the Sunday bulletin between the hours of 6 and 9 pm every Sunday evening.

Family Nite is Wednesday at 7:15 pm.  There are boys and girls clubs, college/Young Adult Kairos and an adult bible study through the book of 2Kings. We have excellent leaders at JCC and plenty of room to expand these ministries.  If you have children 3 -18, encourage them to be involved and to invite friends to join them.

2 cents 
"MY TWO CENTS"
Pastor Bill proposes that each of us give two cents for every meal we eat (usually 3 per day) to support BGMC to reach thousands of people with the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are asking that you bring your pennies, cash, check, or use PayPal on the website on the first Sunday of the month - a large Buddy Barrel will be in the lobby area where you can deposit your offerings.  "I'll put in my two cents - for what it's worth!"  How about you?   Thank you for your faithfulness in helping our children to reach around the world with the love of Jesus through JCC Missions.   We didn't quite hit our goal in 2013 but we did help the children raise well over $5000 to reach the world with the Gospel.  Now that we are in the habit let's continue to help our children develop a heart for reaching the world for Jesus Christ.  Thanks for your faithful support.

SALVATION, RESTORATION AND EQUIPPING 
Two major ideas for prayer and action at J.C.C.  First, I believe God can use us to reach many more people whom we already have a relationship with and the people are either unsaved or they once walked with Jesus but are not currently. If we all pray and establish a relationship with just one person we will exceed this "faith goal" for 2014.  We announced that we are launching a new initiative "Equipping and training" this year in order to be ready for the influx of people returning to the Lord and new believers. Statistics say 70%  of Americans will attend a church service or event if asked.; "Just sayin".

Cars for Friends
There is a great need for vehicle donations to the church, in order to provide replacement vehicles for some members of the congregation.  Several congregants have asked for help in this matter and as the body of Christ, this is certainly within our job description.The need is for vehicles that are running and passes VA State & Emissions inspection or in need of minor repairs. Please contact the church office with any information about a possible donation, as soon as possible.In addition, if anyone is willing to donate any mechanic work to help congregants, please let the church know. You will be given a donation receipt that can be used to get the best tax deduction possible.
