This Week’s Message: Doing Good
In the current political climate, in the world of
our denomination, in the world we live in today,
doing good does not seem to be the norm for
many. God calls Christians to be a people of good. What does that
mean in our world?
Scripture: Titus 3:1-11
Next Week’s Message: Worldly vs. Spiritual
Satan is busy trying to blind us to a spiritual worldview and
striving to get us to accept the worldview that is opposed to God’s
will. Let’s examine our worldview vs. the worlds view.
Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:1-13

Burke or Carol Fisher- Creek if you
Together we are stronger. There is so much we can accomplish when we come together in Christ’s name. So, consider ways in which you would like to get connected with your church family and with our community. Watch this section for ways to get connected! Hope everyone enjoyed our Worship Together last Sunday!
Can you?
• Join the team that visits local nursing homes:
Sanctuary at Holy Cross
3415 Greencastle Road, Burtonsville, MD 20866
Second Tuesday of each month, 11:00 am.
• Decorate your ‘trunk’ and join us on the church parking lot as we greet our community and hand out treats at Laurel’s Halloween Parade. We typically have an opportunity to meet hundreds of families! Thursday, October 25.
• Join the planning team to honor Mr. Miles (from Miles Meat Market) for his decades of support to our church and our community?
• Invite a friend, family member, co-worker to join you as we live-stream Joyce Meyer October 25-27?
Nobody can do everything,
but everyone can do something!
Interested? For more information on these and other possible ways to get connected at First Church, please see Debbi Schneider or email ( [email protected] or [email protected]).
Together, through Christ,
we can accomplish amazing things!

Moving on Ministries is a resource for anyone who has lost a loved
one and has questions about their mourning. This grief ministry takes 2
forms. One is the Care Notes for kids, teens and adults that are on the table
in the Narthex for anyone to take to read. You can return them or pass them
on to someone you believe would benefit from reading them. I try to put out
subjects that our world is struggling with.
The second part is a series of books called “Journey through Grief” that I mail out
to anyone who is mourning the loss of a loved one. The 4 books are sent out within a
year after the death and can be reread as many times as needed. There is no time table
for grief or a to-do list of what should be done.
It’s a journey, not a race, and everyone grieves differently.
I also put fliers out in the Narthex about a support group offered during the year for
the loss of a spouse—The Patuxent Widowed Persons Service. I can recommend
them highly as a group that helped me immensely.
If you have any questions about the Moving On Ministries, or its resources, please
call me. Thank you. Lois Hamilton
