16th SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST WE WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME Jean Smith this morning. Jean will be leading the worship services for us. It is always such a pleasure to have her share her time and talents with us. I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful weather we’ve been having. As we start to get back to our fall and winter schedule make sure you check the schedules so you don’t miss the start up of Sunday School, Bible Classes and other events that you may be interested in. Please keep Pastor Sherry and Dan (and later Pastor Sherry’s parents) in your prayers as they are traveling. I hope everyone is enjoying the nice pictures Pastor Sherry and Dan have been sharing with on through Facebook. It certainly makes me want to go back to Paris. PASTOR SHERRY IS ON SABBATICAL THROUGH DECEMBER 4TH.
