For we are God's workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus to do good works,
which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)






- NEWS & NOTES -

We're off and running with the 40 Days of Purpose Campaign! Memorize your verse this week, start in a Purpose-Driven Life Sunday School Class, and read the first seven daily readings in The Purpose Driven Life book. Then next week come back to hear about the first purpose, and perhaps the most revolutionary one, Worship. Worship may be the most misunderstood word in the Church. Come next week to hear what God has to say on this!

Attention retirees, students, men or women - anyone free on Wednesday mornings (especially in October and November) we need you! Would you be willing to help some young moms attend Bible Study by helping care for their children in the nursery? Please contact Marilyn Fisher at (612) 724-9311 if you can help.

The Dinner & a Movie Outreach will be held Monday, October 21, at 5:45 PM. One or two volunteers are needed the day of the event for a few hours between 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM and several more are needed to help with clean up. Contact: Rose Hecker.

Choir Rehearsal will begin Tuesday, October 22, 7:00-8:00 PM. Rehearsals will be weekly until the final production on Sunday, December 15. Please arrive at 6:45 and be ready to sing by 7:00. Worship Ensemble will meet from 8:15-9:00 Tuesday evenings.

Chaim Class Social, Saturday, October 26, 12:30 PM meet at church. They will be going to Emma Krumbees Apple Orchard. The cost is $3 per person and children under 2 are free. If you have questions, contact Vanessa Beckett at (612) 721-6885.

A Thought From God's Word:
For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men—the testimony given in its proper time. [1 Timothy 2:5-6]
