September 16, 2009 WELCOME HOME Homecoming. It is a nice word. It sounds warm and fuzzy. I think of chocolate chip cookies and milk. Fall, it is a wonderful season. Cooler mornings and evenings, and colors, it is the time of year to reestablish the healthy routines and practices that sustain us through the year. This Sunday is Homecoming Sunday at your church. Won't you reestablish your wonderful habit of weekly worship? We have the chocolate chip cookies and milk ready. After all, we can't be the C-H-U-R-C-H without "u." Bring a friend. -Rev.Jim Petersen . SUNDAY SCHOOL NEWS & ROOM PICK UPWELCOME BACK! We had a great time last Sunday as we began our study of Joseph and His Brothers.

COMIN' AT YA ON WEDNESDAY NIGHTS! The first Wednesday Night Live! was a huge success with over 60 people for opening night. This new ministry is for ALL ages, and begins with dinner from 5:30-6:00 P.M. Lois Baker is providing a sloppy joe supper on Wednesday, September 23rd. From 6:00-6:15 P.M., we have song and fellowship before breaking up into our children, youth, and adults groups. The Adult Study Nooma for the 23rd is "Flame." Could love be the most misunderstood and misused word in our vocabulary?
Nursery care is provided for children ages 0-2. We are still looking for more volunteers to assist with our youth, or lead an adult group, whether it be one time or for a series. Please let Rev. Kama or Rev. Jim know of your interest. If you would like to be a part of the kitchen crew, please call Lois Baker at 453-0275. ADULT BIBLE STUDY SIGN UP Rev. Jim's Bible Study will begin on Wednesday, October 7, meeting from 12:00-1:15 P.M. in Fellowship Hall. This will be a 15-week study of the Book of Acts.
