TODAY IS FAMILY SUNDAY! On months that have a 5th Sunday, we invite all kids to join their families in worship on that 5th Sunday! Nursery is still provided, however, we will not hold Children’s Church or Sunday School today. This gives our kids a chance to worship along with their families and spend more time with them.
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).
CONSISTORY NOMINATION BALLOTS DUE NEXT SUNDAY: Extra ballots can be found in the church office window. They can be placed in an envelope and handed to an elder as you leave worship or dropped off in the nomination box in the church office window.
WORDS OF HOPE DEVOTIONALS for October, November and December are on church shelves at Sanctuary exits today. Please help yourself. J
WE ARE LOOKING for a volunteer to serve coffee after worship next Sunday. If you are able to help with this, please call Jeanna Fagenbaum at 956-4983. Thanks!
“RCWM, thank you to each and every lady who contributed their talents to help our family honor Bern Veld. We truly appreciated not having to worry about that aspect of our journey.” – Gene and Kathy
DUTCH APPLE PIE ORDERS ARE DUE TODAY! They are $11.00 each with funds going to provide African Bible Translations so people in Africa who are hungering for God's Word can have a Bible in their own language. Help support this important Bible League mission! Extra order forms can be found in the kitchen window.
