SUNDAY WORSHIP
Oct 11, 10a
The Mystery of Unbelief (Luke 7:11-17)
Unbelief doesn’t always look like outright rejection of God. Sometimes it begins with disappointment when God doesn’t work the way we expected. John the Baptist found himself questioning Jesus while sitting in prison, and Jesus reminded him that God’s work does not always match our expectations. But Luke also shows another danger: becoming so familiar with spiritual things that they no longer move us. Familiarity can lead to shallowness, and shallowness can eventually produce self-righteousness—the belief that we are good enough on our own. The challenge for every believer is to remain humble, attentive, and willing to let God’s wisdom transform us rather than expecting God to conform to our expectations.
FALL KIDSFEST @ THE AVENUE
Oct 17, 10a-2p
Ms. Debbie and the Daycare are heading this up, but they need some help. We will have a booth to hand out information about Southeast and some of our ministries. Please sign up at the Welcome Center to help from 10a-12p or 12-2p.
JOINT WORSHIP & LUNCH
Oct 18, 10a
We will be having our annual joint worship with our Hispanic Ministry. And then we will have lunch together. The Hispanic Ministry will provide the meats; you bring sides and desserts to share.
TRUNK OR TREAT
Oct 25, 4-6p
This is a great time to invite the community to our church property for a fun time of games and candy. You can be involved in one, two or three ways.
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD
It won’t be long until I am asking you to take a shoebox and fill it up. But right now, we need empty shoeboxes. Please bring your empty shoeboxes and drop them off in the foyer with the ToT candy.
DAYCARE FUNDRAISER
The daycare will be selling 6.5" Poinsettias and 4" Christmas Cactus for $15 each. Sale will begin Sunday, October 11 and will end Sunday, November 1.
UPCOMING EVENTS
I look forward to worshiping with you Sunday. Love God – Love People! – pastor joe
