Jerry Bridges will truly challengeus to have a proper perspectiveon our sins. It will make youquestion why it is we havebecome so preoccupied with themajor sins of society while wehave lost sight of our need todeal with our own subtle sins.

Fall Kick-Off

To Kick-off our Fall, Tim and Marie Huffmanare allowing us to come to their home for anight around a bonfire. All the fun begins at 5pm on Sunday night, Sept. 14th. This is inlieu of our Sunday evening service. You arebeing asked to bring a snack and drink foreveryone to share. We will supply hot dogsand buns. In addition, you will need to bringa lawn chair. If you have a corn hole set,please bring it.

Allow me to share this quote from JohnCalvin: "All the blessings we enjoy are Divinedeposits, committed to our trust on thiscondition, that they should be dispensed forthe benefit of our neighbors."

May our lives be a blessing to all.

Brad

Your leaders are concerned about the personal safety and wellbeingof all who attend our services. Therefore, over the coming weeks,we will be seeking to upgrade our security. This will involve askingthose who attend Sunday School to use only the Fifth Avenue streetlevel entrance and the handicap ramp. These doors will be locked at

about 10:15am (after worship has begun) and all traffic will then bedirected through our front Fifth Avenue entrance. This will make thetask of our security people much easier and more efficient.
