A Friendly Reminder-October 3rd

God's creation is so amazing, isn't it?  I am soaking up the gorgeous Fall weather we are being blessed with.  Just incredible.

We really enjoyed having everyone here for our first home group meeting after the Summer break.  Pastor John had pictures from his trip to Canada that he shared as well as his adventures there and some of the ministry challenges that the people there face.  Thank you, Pastor John!  We will be keeping those people and the area in our prayers.

We won't be having home group this coming Sunday, October 3rd.  The Leadership Team of the church meets the first Sunday of each month.  Since those of our group who are a part of that team can't be in two places at once ( I would really like to figure out how to do that:)), we don't meet on the first Sunday of each month.  And yes, believe it or not, October is here already!  Let's remember to keep our Leadership Team in prayer as they meet.

We will meet again on October 10th.

Have a wonderful rest of your week!!

Home Group Time!!!!

The first day of Fall!!! Yay!! I love Fall....but I also love Winter.....and Spring.... and Summer.....:)

Please accept my apologies for being so late with this blog post. My Clay was home and I was enjoying every available minute that I had to spend with him. Thus, my procrastination in posting.

Home Group!! Yes, it is time to get in the groove of home group again. This Sunday, the 26th, will be our first home group meeting. The adults will be looking at several different options from which they will decide on the study topic for the next few months. The children will begin looking at other countries. We will study the people in the countries and explore the reasons that can make it so difficult and dangerous to be a Christian in some of these countries. We'll add in some music and lots of fun. :)

We would love to have any and all who would like to join us! We all come to our house (the Norris') after church on Sunday morning and have a potluck meal. We enjoy eating and visiting and then have a time of study and prayer. Each week I (Melody) usually come up with a "theme" for our potluck. This is just a crutch for me as it helps me decide what to cook.:) Anything you would like to bring is fine and certainly does not have to fit the "theme"!
The theme for this week will be Italian. I'll pick up a lasagna and fix a veggie tray.

Please don't hesitate to give us a call--281-5741-- or send us an
email , melodyrnorris@gmail.com, if you have questions, suggestions or just to say hi. :)

Hope to see you all at worship Sunday morning!

Love,
Melody
