Announcements:
- We mourn the loss of long-time member Dr. Katherine Cook. Services will be held at Null & Son Funeral Home. Visitation will be Tuesday, September 17, 6-8 pm. The service of witness to the resurrection will be Wednesday, September 18, at 10 am.
- Our fall Bible study will continue every Wednesday at 6 pm at the back of the sanctuary. This week’s lesson is, “A is for Alabaster,” which is also the title of the book by Anna Carter Florence.
- During A Season of Peace, September 8 to October 6, World Communion Day, we will be collecting the Peace and Global Witness offering. These funds are used for peace education, helping families in need, assistance for teens and young adults, and community care and engagement. 25% of the offering will stay in our community, 25% will go to mid-councils to unite congregations to support peacemaking in their regions, and 50% will support the work for peace and reconciliation being done by Presbyterians across the globe. There are special envelopes for this offering on the table near the entrance of the sanctuary.
