Brotherhood Meeting

Men, you are encouraged to attend the Brotherhood meeting Tuesday night at 7:00 PM. There has been a change of location you need to be aware of. The meeting will be held at the church instead of the home previously stated.
There has been great ministry and growth in our Brotherhood. All men are welcome to come out for a time of hearing God's Word, prayer and godly encouragement.

Children's Mission Project

The Wednesday night children's mission classes have been studying about a family in Alaska - The Purples. The Purple family distribute toys in addition to other mission work in Alaska. Our children will be collecting toys for this missionary family to share. There is a box in the fellowship hall marked "Purple Family" where you may drop off donated toys.

Thank you for your support for our children as they support missions!

Prayer Requests

There are many in our church family who are in need of prayer this morning. Keeping them close in your thoughts and prayers will be a blessing and help to them.

Anita B. had an uncle to suddenly pass away this week. Please pray for the family in their time of loss and travel to the services.

Wendy P. (Willard and Judy H.'s daughter) is in the hospital for illness and they are running tests. She is very ill and needs our prayers.

Saturday Church Workday

There will be a church workday this Saturday (September 26) beginning at 8:00 AM. This was not in the bulletin, so please share with church family you may have contact during the week with.

Homecoming will be October 11 and we will be doing some cleaning up around the church to prepare for that special day. Men will be working on the outside - pressure washing sidewalks and building exterior, tending shrubs etc. and there are many indoor tasks the ladies can accomplish.

Looking forward to a great workday!

Funny For the Day

Maquire State Offering

Florida Baptists look to the month of September as a time of awareness, reflection and prayer for the great opportunities God has presented them in the state.

Understanding that the growing missionary needs in Florida cannot be met by Cooperative Program gifts alone, the Maquire State Offering complements Florida Baptists’ commitment to the Great Commission and their mission field.The offering has a missionary purpose—helping new congregations through no-interest church site loans, supporting partnership pastors and spreading the gospel through evangelistic ministries.

Our church will be receiving an offering for these missions through the month of September. To read more about this offering see Unspeakable Amazing Joy and Generosity.

See You At the Pole

“Go and pray to God for me and for the people . . .“ —2 KINGS 22:13a (The Message)

How about you? Do you desire to see a mighty move of God on your campus? Are you pursuing God passionately? Are you serious about radical obedience? Are you determined to get rid of anything and everything that dishonors God and ready to challenge your friends to do the same?

This year’s See You at the Pole™ theme is very simple—ENGAGE: Go and Pray . . .

GO to your school flagpole on Wednesday, September 23, and PRAY for your friends, family, school, community and the world.

This year’s See You at the Pole™ challenge is simple:

ENGAGE - ENGAGE your school

ENGAGE - ENGAGE your community

ENGAGE - ENGAGE your world . . . for His glory!

See You at the Pole™ is a great place to

ENGAGE - ENGAGE God,

ENGAGE - ENGAGE with other believers, and

ENGAGE - ENGAGE His heart for your campus . . . in the name of Christ.

See You at the Pole™ connects believers together at the beginning of the school year, so you can stand strong together throughout the year.

See You at the Pole™ is all about prayer. It’s about you coming together and laying aside all of the labels and groups for one day, to simply engage with God in prayer and connect with fellow Christians in unity around the flag pole.

Our local schools participate in See You At the Pole. All students are encouraged to meet at their school flag poles Wednesday September 23 before school. For more information, visit SYATP.
