KIDS WORSHIP LEADER NEEDED!  We are looking for a song leader for Children’s Church.  We hope to find someone passionate about worship and teaching our little ones how to worship.  This person would fill the final spot on our rotation and would be asked to lead once a month.  Singing time takes the first 20 minutes of Sunday mornings (9:30 – 9:50 A.M.)  This allows the worship leader to join adult worship before the message begins.  We are open to adults or teens (even working in pairs) taking this role. This role needs to be filled ASAP so please act quickly!  If interested, contact Stacy Hoffman (869-8114 or office@demottearc.com).

“ARC MEMBERS, Thank you very much for your thoughts and prayers for Michelle and the rest of us during this trying time.  The surgery went well, and she is at home recovering and getting back to the daily grind of life.  We have a long road ahead, with recovery and then more chemo treatments starting in December.  Your continued prayers and support are greatly appreciated as we overcome this bump in our road.  Thank you, Adam & Michelle Veld and the kids.”

TRAINING CONTINUES!  Please continue to pray for our runners as they train for the Indy Monumental Marathon and Half Marathon in November.  They are working with Team World Vision to help raise money for clean water for communities in need in underdeveloped countries.  If you’d like to donate, go online to Team World Vision and search American Reformed Church.  You can donate on behalf of a specific runner or the team.
