THIS Sunday: The Only Thing That Counts - We began a new series in Galatians last week and will continue unwrapping "the only thing that counts" this week, beginning at Galatians 1:11. Prepare for worship by reading the whole letter (or even listen to it!).
Ktizo Gallery & Nook Auction - After a successful Ktizo Gallery event, in which Reyna Elizabeth's artwork brought in $335 for Gotitas de Amor, our gallery space will once again be vacant. It is time for you to bring in your artwork: paintings, drawings, photographs, etc. Please bring in your artwork starting NOW! Remember, there is also a space for poetry and other writing. Stay tuned to North St. News for a calendar of events and rotation of artwork/artists in the Ktizo Gallery. - SarahWednesday Evenings - We had another great conversation in our discussion on the book Public Jesus: Exposing the Nature of God in Your Community. While anyone can read the book, you don't have to in order to join the conversation. Bring your dinner at 6:00 PM or come around 7:00~ for discussion.
SAVE THE DATE - Guatemala Partnership Faith Promise Weekend - The partnership committee had a great meeting this past Monday. As but one part of the partnership, the church board is planning to provide monthly support to the church, La Iglesia Vida Abundante to continue the ministry to older children that's been happening through Gotitas de Amor.Yes...we will need your help. We will be having a Faith Promise weekend with a dinner on Saturday, October 27th (tentatively at 5:30) and a special worship gathering on Sunday morning (the 28th). Rev. Lora Wooster will speak to us at both times. Plan on joining us this weekend and would you begin praying now about how you might be involved in the partnership.
We did not make further plans for our own next trip to Guatemala because...instead...we are hoping a committee from their church can come to us! We are in the early stages of working this out, but have hopes that they might come to visit in a couple of months!
Your Spanish Word of the Week - Our word this week is otoño, which means "autumn"...which is upon us in temperature, but doesn't officially begin until tomorrow, September 22.
"Piercing the Darkness" Convention - We want to invite you to come with us to hear Dr. Sam Vassel speak to the New England District Church of the Nazarene on November 10 in Nashua, NH at our district Sunday School Convention. Dr. Vassel is the pastor of our Bronx Bethany Church of the Nazarene (in NYC) and is a wonderful speaker. The day costs $20 (by Oct. 10) and includes lunch, but let us know if money is the only factor that would keep you from going. Our own Ed DiSante is the registrar for the event. Send him an email with questions or if you'd like to go.
- Pastor Jeremy is inviting any and all to a game night tomorrow evening (Saturday, September 22, 5:00 PM). Facebook Event Page All are invited.
- Can you believe that All Hallow's Eve is less than seven weeks away? As we're planning ahead to light up the neighborhood again this year, would you wash and set aside you clear plastic gallon milk/juice jugs again? Just bring them to the chapel and place them in the kitchen. Thanks!
