175th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION — SEPTEMBER 19–20
Join us for a special weekend celebrating 175 years of faith, family and community!
Saturday evening will feature Bingo, The Chris Ortiz Show, free popcorn & lemonade, with our celebration Sunday. See the flyers posted around the church for the full weekend schedule – and invite your family and friends!
The Monday morning Women’s Bible Study will start on September 14 at 9:30. We will be finishing our study of Luke as we delve into The Gospel of Luke, Part Two by J.D. Greear via RightNow Media. J.D. does a masterful job of bringing Jesus’s words, action and miracles to us in a fresh and exciting way, combined with great life applications. All are welcome! Contact Sharon Renaud if you have any questions.
Wednesday night activities will begin on September 9. Kids4Christ and the two adult classes will be from 6:30-7:30pm. FOCUS will begin September 2; see elsewhere for more information. Sunday School will start on September 13 from 10:30-11:30. Christian Ed encourages you to plug yourself in to one or more of the areas listed. Just because we are adults doesn’t mean we stop learning about Jesus. And what an example to our kids and young people we will be by attending a class.
Glenn Lewis will lead/facilitate Everyday Revolutionary. This is a RightNow Media study on how to transcend the culture war and transform the world. Tired of being a pawn in the culture war? Feeling squeezed between political and theological extremes? How do we live faithfully when we don’t feel at home in this increasingly secular culture? Pastor and Bible teacher J.D. Greear calls us to reimagine our Christian witness in today’s world. In this practical and encouraging six-session series, discover biblical insights for witnessing well in our polarized, post-Christian world. This study will be in the Conference Room (12).
Cindy Norman will lead/facilitate Not a Fan by Kyle Idleman. This study will be around 6 sessions. We are hoping that shorter studies will make it easier for you to join and finish, even when life gets full. Kyle will challenge us by reminding us that Jesus calls us to be a follower, not a fan. We will plan on starting on September 9 and complete this study on October 14. Let Cindy Norman, know if you would like to have a follower’s journal or have any questions.
Kids4Christ will start their kickoff night with pizza, games and a devotion in the fellowship hall. We are still needing a teacher to lead the lesson each week or do the object lesson. We have a book that we used last year and will continue using that. We try to apply it to our everyday life so that kids can hear about and fall in love with Jesus. Also, we like to have a fun night once a month. We do games, a devotion and have some unstructured/structured time. If you would be willing to plan games, scavenger hunts or some other fun activities for those nights, please let Brenda know at 641-891-0437. Invites have gone out at area kids Pre-K-5th grade but if you know someone who doesn’t attend church or is new to the area, encourage them to attend, especially if they do not have a home church. Did you know that over half of the kids, and their families, attending Kids4Christ do not attend church on Sunday! This is a GREAT ministry that God has bless us with, let’s be good stewards of this ministry!
Sunday School: Stacey will teach Pre-K – 5th grade in Room 3. The 6th grade – high school will meet in Room 7/8 and will be led by Jer, Jodi & Young Friends. The adult class will meet in Room 10/11. They will be studying I Peter by Kyle Idleman. This will be from RightNow Media. Kyle walks through the short letter and unpacks the importance of our witness in the world. The world’s not as it should be. Until the day that God rights all wrongs, we have a job to do. Let’s be about the business of the kingdom. This will be facilitated by Karen Van Manen, Dawn Allbee and Brenda Terpstra. Handout will be available August 30.
Christian Ed would like to add more helpers to the already great group of people helping out. If any of these interest you, please let Brenda Terptra, Beth Steenhoek, Vickie Nikkel, Donna Zylstra, Angie Dillion or Cindy Norman know. Volunteers are the framework of any great project/activity. Thank you in advance for volunteering. You are appreciated beyond words!!
