"Priority"
 
Just as I sit to write this column, I find out that one of our church members is at the hospital for tests.  So as I head out, to be with her, let me give you much better words than mine from the Apostle, Paul: 
 
"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-- think about such things.
 
And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. 
(From Philippians 4)
 
 
 
 
 
Sunday, September 22: 
Matthew Manual
Someone close to you needs Jesus!  YOU can do something about it!

This coming Sunday will be the 2nd sermon in a 7-part sermon series entitled, "As You Go, Make Disciples."  This Sunday will be focused on the Holy Spirit working in us to point people to Jesus Christ.  Read through the Bible verses on pages 17 and 18 of your Matthew Manual in preparation for the next part of this series.

Children's Ministry, Shaping the Future!  
Praise God for the wonderful children who are part of GCCN's ministry! Praise God for the wonderful response these past two Sundays for volunteers to assist with the Children's Ministry! 
 
Thanks to your response, we can now begin a nursery, children's Bible quizzing, a new children's Sunday School class and improve our Children's Church. 
 
We asked for 14 people who would pray daily for one child--that goal has been reached!   We asked for two nursery workers and that goal has been reached!  We could use one more Chldren's Church ministry leaders.  If you are able to help and have not yet had a chance to sign up, please let Pastor Wes know at RWTink01@gmail.com.  And....thank you!!
