CARPENTRY CREW NEEDED to help build carnival games for the Fall Festival. Work day will be Saturday, September 26, time TBA.

EXCITING TIMES: Many are anticipating the end of the Shemitah year which is today, Sunday, September 13 (eluh 29) and the upcom-ing “Blood Moon,” on Sunday, September 27. This will be the last of a series of four “Blood Moons” will appear on the Feasts of the Tab-ernacle, a Jewish Feast Day. In fact, all four moons have fallen on a Jewish Feast Day. We do not know what the signs imply, but it would behoove us to watch as Jesus himself commanded in Luke 21:28— And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

SENIOR SAINTS NEWS: Trip to Mountain View planned for Tuesday and Wednesday, October 6-7, leaving the church at 7am on Tuesday and return around 4pm on Wednesday. The cost for the room is $55 and meals will be on your own; please see Martha Jean if interested.

CHURCH FELLOWSHIP AT THE CARTER FARM will be from 4-8pm, Saturday, October 10. For those not wanting to drive, we will be tak-ing the church buses. In order to plan enough food, please sign up at the information desk.
