There are no evening activities today.

 

Ladies, the September Crafting Day almost passed us by!  Join us this Saturday, September 6, 1 to 4 PM for a fun afternoon of fellowship and creating crafts for our OCC shoeboxes.  You can also bring your own project and just enjoy being together.  Feel free to bring a snack to share if you’d like to.

 

Do you know some young people who would benefit from studying the Bible together with other young people? AWANA begins for the 2025-26 year next Sunday evening, September 7.  For age 2 through grade 12, this club offers Bible study, Scripture memory, fun games, and discipleship.

 

Ladies Bible Study will resume for the fall semester on September 9.  They will be studying the second part of the book of Isaiah with the Precept study. Dr. and Mrs. Jim Allman will be their special guests on this opening evening.  Ladies, if you haven’t already purchased your book, now is the time!  See Donna LaCroix if you have questions.

Make plans now to attend the Operation Christmas Child River City Kick-off Rally here at our own church on Saturday, September 20, 10AM to noon.  You won’t want to miss this opportunity to learn more about what God is doing around the world through simple shoebox gifts and how you can be a part this year!

 

Operation Christmas Child preparations are swinging into full gear this month.  Our first packing party of the season takes place, Saturday, September 27, from 1 to 4PM.  We plan to pack 400 boxes for 2 to 4 year old children.  Many hands make light work.  We hope you will all plan to attend.  Whether you can pack one box or twenty, your help is moving the Gospel to the ends of the earth.  A second packing party will be held on November 1 from 10AM to 2PM to pack 500 boxes for 10 to 14 year old children.

 

MISSIONS MOMENT

Todd and Erika Carroll in Brazil share these praises and prayer requests:

--Praise for safety, team unity, and spiritual unity on Erika and Julie’s trip to North Africa

--Please pray for Todd.  As Erika was in Africa, he received results of a skin biopsy on his scalp showing that he had a basal cell carcinoma.  He had it removed, but it got infected.  It was a large area.  Then, after the stitches were removed, his wound opened up and now he has a crater in his scalp that needs to be healed.  Please pray for no more complications.

--Pray for the course we are writing and teaching about the Theology of Suffering and Missionary Resilience. It has been a blessing, but we have seen that the enemy is furious about how the Lord is moving. Pray for wisdom, endurance, and protection.
