The title of Pastor John Oerter’s sermon for the week of September 21, 2014 is Joy Beyond the Rock based on scriptures from Psalms 105: 1-6, 37 – 45.  The hymns for Sunday are Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah and God, Whose Giving Knows No Ending.

Worship begins at 9:45 am, followed by education and fellowship at 11:00 a.m.  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.

Yarning for God will meet on Monday from 7 – 8:30 p.m. in the Sadler Lounge and also during Fellowship Hour on Sunday.  Everyone is welcome to join us to knit, crochet or just visit.

Circle III is beginning their fall schedule Sunday at 3 in the Sadler Lounge.  We will open our study on the new Horizon Bible study of 2nd Corinthians.  All women not already associated with a circle are welcome to join us.  We are targeting working women since our meetings do not conflict with work days.

We are in that time of year where we are seeking the “officers” [now more meaningfully titled “Ordered Ministers” i.e. those called to a specific, ‘ordered’, ministry] to serve us for the Class of 2017.

So, if you, praying and thinking, have some suggestions for persons to serve as Deacons, Trustees or Ruling Elders, please let Pastor John or Cynthia Hobart, our Clerk of Session, know!
