CHILDREN’S CHURCH LEADERS NEEDED: We are looking for a few leaders to teach during Children’s Church. We need 2 leaders for our older group (2nd – 5th grade) and one for our younger group (3 years old – 1st grade). Leaders are asked to lead once every 6 weeks with teaching material provided. This is definitely a fun and important way to invest in the youth of ARC! If you are interested, please contact Amber Hart (987-2996) or Stacy Hoffman (869-8114) or email the church office (office@demottearc.com).
KIDS HOPE USA: We are excited to continue building relationships with the students, teachers and staff at DeMotte Elementary and KV Intermediate Schools. Last year was a great school year, and we are confident we will need more mentors who can invest one hour each week in the life of one child. Training is provided. Will you be the one to help change the life of a child? If you are interested in being a mentor, substitute mentor or prayer partner, please pick up an application packet from the table by the kitchen. Completed applications can be returned directly to Kara Nanninga or Heather Veld or put in either of their mailboxes. Questions? Talk to or email Kara (kara.bruxvoort@gmail.com;219-805-9926) or Heather (veldheather@yahoo.com; 219-869-3403).
TRAINING IS UNDERWAY! 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 as a whole.
DUTCH APPLE PIES ARE BACK! The Bible League will be again selling our delicious apple pies for $11.00. Proceeds from the pies will help fund African Translations so people in Africa who are hungering for God's Word can have a Bible in their own language. The order deadline is September 29, 2019 with delivery pickup on October 16 between 3:00-5:00 P.M. We are asking for all to support this project with your prayers. Also, if anyone is able to help make pies on October 14 and/or 15 please let us know.... if you are able to come for only a couple of hours at a time, please help us out. Order forms are in your mailboxes today with extra forms on the table across from the kitchen!
“I WOULD LIKE TO SAY thank you for all the prayers, cards, and words of encouragement during my recent surgery at Porter and therapy at Oak Grove. Also, a special thanks for the prayers and support shown to Phil and my family during some very long days for them as well. Thanks also to Pastor Troy for his calls and visits. I can’t begin to tell you how much all of this was appreciated!”
– Gloria Moolenaar and Family
