• Pray for Max, grandson of Mark and Deb Bruckschen (and son of Stephanie and Joe), who is recovering from emergency surgery. He has been in the hospital all week (they live in the Cleveland, OH, area) and anticipates a few more days before returning home to recover there.
• Men’s Bible Study will meet tonight at 6 pm to discuss God’s will for us as Christians who watch what is happening in Afghanistan. Come join us for a Bible discussion and time of prayer.
• We need a winter outdoor custodian to clear the snow from the sidewalks and entries of the church property. Please see a deacon with any questions or for a job description.
• The Final Annual report for the Benevolent Fund is available to see on the bulletin board. This is the Fund which runs from July 1-June 30, and is made of all our offerings and obligations to the work of the church outside our local congregation in our denominational guidelines and in special offerings.
• Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 2 at 7:00 pm. We will be treated to an evening of world class piano from Calvin Jones, International Recording Artist and Film-Score Composer. Calvin grew up as a son of a RCUS pastor. As a Christian, he creates music for God’s glory.  He joins us all the way from Ukraine as part of his Paramount Tour, so invite your friends and family to share in this unforgettable evening of classic and contemporary music. Allow yourself to get lost in the Awe of our Creator. (www.calvinjones.com) The concert is free and an offering will be taken for him.
