September 10, 2023
Below are our weekly announcements. Our hope is that announcements are not just for your information, but also for your participation.
Child Dedication Classes
Child dedication is a commitment that parents make to raise your children according to God’s purposes
and Word. It is a commitment that is made to God in front of the congregation, who will not only hold
the parents accountable to their commitment, but will partner with them to raise their children in the
Lord.
Our next child dedication class will be held in September. If you are interested, please email Pastor Cat
at [email protected]
Fall Bible Reading Plans
In September, we will begin a new Sermon Series on the Gospel of Luke. We encourage you to follow along this series by participating in one of our Bible Reading Plans.
- Gospels (90 Days)
- Whole NT (115 days)
Sunday School: The Gospel of Luke – Sept 17, 11:15AM
If you want to hear from God, you should aspire to read the Bible academically and devotionally. In our Sunday School class, we will be equipping you with tools so that you will be able to read this Gospel well. We hope that you will join us in studying God’s Word together.

Congregational Meal – Oct 1, 11:15AM
Our desire is that this faith community will be like a second family for you. To increase the feeling of family, we are hosting a congregational meal on Sunday, October 1st immediately after service. The goal in breaking bread together is that we can break the ice with newcomers and old-timers alike.
All are welcome. We hope to see you there.
Online Giving/Tithing
Offering is a privilege and responsibility for members. Our encouragement is for each member to prayerfully seek God’s guidance for how they ought to be giving in this season. All offering goes towards funding ministries locally and globally.
We encourage the congregation to apply for a personal offering number to allow efficient and accurate recording of offering information.
