Weekly Announcements: Week of October 25th
Don’t forget to set your clocks back 1 hour, before you go to bed Saturday night!
As we move into the colder months, we want to be especially mindful of our local PADS shelter, and the wonderful work the volunteers do.
At this time, (and often actually), they are in need of the following items:
Breakfast meats Coffee Sandwich bread
Chips Snack Crackers Breakfast bars
Fruit Snacks Jugs of Juice
If you are able to help provide some of these, please drop the items off at the PADS shelter (1120 Canal St.), or bring them to church, where Judy Foster will collect them and deliver them to PADS. Thank you!
Join us on November 8th, as we celebrate Christ Community’s 44th Anniversary! We will be gathering at 9:30am, in the Upper Room, for coffee, sweets and a time of fellowship honoring Pastor John, Sr. & Phyllis Nordstrom
as well as Pastor John, Jr. & Glenda Nordstrom.
Saturday mornings bring a great way to start the weekend out right! Come to the Upper Room, from 7:30am-8:30am, where a Small Group focused on prayer has begun. Connect to the Source of Life, while connecting with each other!
October is Pastor Appreciation Month. Though Pastor John is appreciated every month, October is a reminder to express the gratitude in our hearts and honor the obedience to the call God placed on his life. Thank you, Pastor John, for all you do, and for your obedience to the call God has placed on your life! We pray the Lord would enlarge your territory, that His hand would always be with you and that He would keep you from harm.
