October 13, 2013

The title of Pastor John Oerter’s sermon for the week of October 13, 2013 is Pay It Forward based on scriptures from Mark 12: 41 – 44.  The hymns for Sunday are Lord of the Dance and Today We All Are Called.

Worship begins at 9:45 am, followed by education and fellowship.  Our church provides a Nursery during worship service.  First Presbyterian Church is located at 919 E. Tenth Street in Rolla.  Our website is www.rollapresby.org.

The bonfire was a great party but without fire due to the rain.  We are doing it again on Saturday, October 12 at 5:00 pm at the Whitaker’s home.  All other plans the same as last week.  Hope to see you there!

October Newsletters are available for pickup on the table outside the church office.

New Presbyterian Women directories are available for the women of the church.  Feel free to pick up your new copy today.

Folks are needed to sign up for fellowship each week.  There is a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board outside the church office.

Do you have a pithy saying, a humorous quote, or just something interesting to share about the church?  We are in need of brief sayings for our main sign.  If you have one, please email it to office@rollapresby.org (or use the “Contact Us” page on the web site).  Thanks for your help!

We are in need of someone to video record our mass choir event on October 20th.  Please contact Mary Kwantes at mlakwantes@hotmail.com if you are able to do this.
