JUDY’S PLACE - ASSISTANCE NEEDED
Judy’s Place (the battered women and families shelter) has completed renovation of their apartments and are in need of some items as they hope to move in some new clients soon. Items
needed are; cookware, pots, pans, silverware, a counter-top microwave, and kitchen towels.
If you would be able to supply some serviceable items from this list, we will deliver them to Judy’s
Place. See Jim Wobig, or the Church receptionist.
PIGEON FORGE TRIP
We are planning a bus trip to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee from April 21st - 24th.
Seating is limited, so if you are interested, please see Dianna Lawrence for details.
COMBINED SERVICE
Sunday, November 2nd, is All Saints Day and we will be having a combined service at 10
am that Sunday. If you have someone you would like to have remembered at this
service, please send their names and photographs to Pastor Sharletta or the Church Office
by Friday, October 24th. Following the service, we will be having a soup and salad
CARE PACKAGES FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS AND THE MILITARY
This year we will be sending care packages to our college students and the
military to let them know they are loved and are in our prayers. If your children
are in college (either locally or away from home), or a member of the family is in
the service, or if you know someone in college or the service, and you would like
them to receive a care package, please send their name and address to the Church
Office by Thursday, November 20th.
We want to send the care packages to the college students so they have them by
or before their final exams, and to the military so that the packages will reach
them before Christmas.
We will soon have a list of items we would like to include.
TRUNK OR TREAT
The annual Trunk or Treat will be held on Sunday, October 26th from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. for children ages
up to 6th grade. The child/children must be accompanied by an adult. The event will provide an opportunity for
the children of our church and the community to have an evening of fun. Members of our congregation will be
gathered in our parking lot with decorated trunks, truck beds or tables decorated around the theme of
Halloween to give out treats. There will be food and games. Please plan to join us for this fun filled evening.
For more information call 304-455-1422.
HELPING HAND
We will be collecting cans of fruit to donate to Helping Hand for the month of October. Please bring the canned
fruit to church and place it in the shopping cart located in the Church Narthex with a “Helping Hand” sign.
UNDIES SUNDAY
If you forgot to bring your items for Undie Sunday, there is still time. Please bring in your donation, and place in
one of the containers in the Narthex.
PRAYER CORNER
As we study today’s passage from Exodus 32, we become
aware of several different points of view. First is the anger
that God feels toward the Israelites, who have become corrupt
and have turned toward false idols. As God addresses Moses,
He says, “Your people” whom “you brought” out of Egypt.
The next viewpoint is that of Aaron. He is the one who must
face the impatience and increasing anger of the people that
Moses left in his care. So, Aaron makes a compromise, a
golden calf is made, and a festival to the Lord is held. Then
we have the viewpoint of the people Moses rescued from
slavery. They question, “Who is this Moses, anyway, and
where is he?” Finally, we have Moses, himself, who dares to
start a dialogue with God, reminding Him that these people
are God’s people, begging Him to turn away from His anger.
A key component in each of these situations is impatience and
the imposition of blame. Ultimately, though, Moses proves
his leadership in his conversation with God, which stops God
from disowning the Israelites, His chosen people.
The
question for us today becomes, “Why are we impatient, and
why are we quick to blame others for given situations that we
might be facing?” God will not give up on us, nor should we
give up on God.
Loving Father God, forgive our impatience. We know that
You are with us in all our trials, and that with You we are
secure. Let us be the people You wish us to be, faithful and
patient in our living. Amen.
