A Moment With Pastor Fred

Welcome to Fall Forward Sunday!  I enjoy each of the seasons but there’s always been something special about autumn.  Maybe it’s the brilliant colors or drinking apple cider – perhaps it’s just a sense of new beginnings with school resuming.  We’ve set today aside as special for a number of reasons.    

First, earlier this morning Sunday School classes began and a new Adult Bible Class was taught in the auditorium. What a great time to come early and hear additional teaching from God’s Word.  Today in our service we’re going to focus on our strategic plan. The Apostle Paul said, “a great door for effective work has opened to me,” 1 Cor 16:9.  A door of effective ministry is open for us too.  What are those doors? Listen to Tom, Paul and me as we update you on the 3 year plan.  

Another special feature about today—we’re sending back Josh and Carissa Bell to Senegal.  Pray for them as they readjust and for this new and exciting ministry of theirs developing national leaders to shepherd Christ’s church in West Africa. 

Today after church everyone is invited to a chili dog lunch out on the south parking lot. 

This week Bible studies resume too. Small Groups restart next week.  By God’s grace let us make this fall count for eternity as we seek to become fruitful disciples of Christ for God’s glory!
