• In light of the tragedies of recent days in Afghanistan, pray for God to grant wisdom to our nation’s leaders, protection for our troops, citizens, and allies, and for strength of faith for Christians who are facing severe persecution.

• We have the pleasure as a congregation to witness the sacrament of Baptism today. Joslynn Jo Grupe (daughter of Jared and Melissa Grupe) will receive this sign and seal of God’s saving grace. May God bless Joslynn with grace and faith to respond to this relationship that God has established with her by virtue of being born into a Christian family.

• 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.
