RE:OCTOBER 2022 NEWS & NOTES
“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers”. -3rd John verse 2
Family and friends, see the following news and notes for October 2022-
Thank you- I want to thank the men, women and young adults who taught and served in our return to multiple Sunday School classes. God blessed our 7 week study of “Kingdom Heroes” with Dr. Tony Evans and “The Book of Ruth” with Bianca Juarez Olthoff. The written and verbal reviews from classes revealed the participants appreciation for both our return to break out classes and for those who volunteered to lead those classes.
Teacher Training- Calling all who want to serve as teachers. Join us for our first Christian Teacher Training of 2022 on Saturday, October 15th from 8:30am to 12:00pm in the sanctuary. Continental breakfast will be provided.
Bible Studies- Join Pastor Fort in our new bible study series titled: “Joy For The Journey”- A verse by verse study through the book of Philippians. Bible study times are Tuesday evening from 7:00pm with our return to our midweek Bible study Wednesdays from 12:00pm to 1:00pm in the sanctuary. Light refreshment will be provided following bible study. Check Pastor Fort’s facebook pages for livestream options.
A Word On Missions- A big thank you to everyone who participated in our annual “Baby Bottle Campaign” in partnership with New Life Pregnancy Center. The loose change, paper money and checks you gave to make a difference in the lives of children state wide totaled $875.94.
Community Partnerships- In September 2022 we were blessed to share once again with Principal Erik and the children of Lindbergh Elementary School by gifting bicycles to children. My prayer is that we will also be blessed to encourage the faculty and staff by supporting a year end event designed to encourage them.
These above two projects are shared alongside other opportunities we have been blessed to share through our “benevolence ministry”.
THANKS-giving Worship 2022- This years Thanksgiving Worship is Tuesday, November 22nd from 7:00pm to 8:30pm. I am asking everyone to be present as thank and worship our God for His lovingkindness and tender mercies toward us. Worship will include prayer, praise, testimonies and the preaching of God’s Word. Come out and bring a friend.
Church Anniversary- Our 33rd Church Anniversary is Sunday, December 11th, 2022. We need your help on the planning committee. If you are interested in joining the planning committee please join the sign up list today or contact the church office this week. The planning committee will work with Pastor Fort and help lead us in our coming up with our theme, colors, guest speakers and more.
CHRISTmas 2022- CHRISTmas is on a Sunday this year! How very exciting for us as followers of The LORD Jesus Christ. Once again we are looking for volunteers to help shape this year’s CHRISTmas schedule and CHRISTmas Sunday morning worship. Sign up in the lobby or call the church office to join the planning team.
WATCH-NIGHT WORSHIP- Watch Night worship 2022 is Saturday, December 31st. Our classic worship time is 7:00pm to 9:00pm. Help us plan this year’s Watch Night worship by signing up today.
FUN WITH THE FAMILY!- Some of our church family members will remember the party with a purpose we hosted a few years ago. The celebration designed to thank our God for His many blessings while providing a safe and sanctified space to gather as a church family for a Christ-centered celebration and party. Ideas for this adult celebration include but are not limited to a live band, Christian comedy, great food, and space to welcome and care for your children with children’s ministry volunteers. To share your ideas or join the planning team see Trustee LaTanya Davis today.
32nd PASTOR APPRECIATION SUNDAY. Sunday, October 30th, 2022 at 8:00am and 10:30am is Pastor Appreciation Sunday. As we celebrate 32 years in ministry together I am asking every member that can to give at least $32.00 in appreciation of Pastor Sherman J. Fort. Breaking that amount up over the five Sundays in the month of October comes to $6.40 per Sunday in addition to your regular giving. Ways to give to Pastor Fort include but are not limited to the Sunday morning offering via giving envelope (note “pastor appreciation), electronic giving via the church app and website as well as cashapp @ $pastorsjf. One of my goals with this year’s gift is to complete my office space with maximizing the space for my personal and church ministry needs.
