1) Prayer Meeting next Wednesday, October 20^th (ZOOM) – As Jesus said in John 15:16 “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.” Join us next Wednesday at 6:30 PM as we pray together as a church on ZOOM.

2) Women’s Ministry Event – “Overcoming Anxiety” – Ladies mark your calendars for October 30^th for a time of fellowship and encouragement.

The plan is to host the event at the church, 11:00 AM – 2:30 PM. More details to follow!

4) Memorizing Romans 8 Together Challenge: Romans 8 is jam-packed with glorious truths about God good for us to dwell on and memorize. As our church works through Romans 8 this Fall (see Sermon Card), we wanted to offer a Scripture memory challenge to our church as a way to hide God’s word in our hearts. Beginning September, we have 13 weeks to memorize all of Romans 8 (which has 39 verses). Find a friend to memorize with or do it with your family! For a helpful tool, check out biblememory.com. If you prefer to go at your own pace, go for it! For those who find it helpful to have a plan, here you go:
