Dont Stop Believin ! Are you a child of the 80s but want to be the core of Christs church in 2012? We began a new Sunday School in rm. 105 for those approximately 36-55; but open to anyone. We will be studying the Gospel Project together as a group. NEW VISION a music ministry team from Malone University will minister to us during the worship music on Sunday October 7th at 10:30am.

SHARE PROGRAM: If you haven't had a chance, please stop by the table this week. We're going to be giving away free produce until the gardens are done for the year. Weve made some additions to the share table so we can continue to feed our people throughout the year. We're asking you to bring in any extra non-perishable (store bought) food items and toiletries you have to share with our church family. | We have a new Sunday School lesson in the Generations class. The lessons will be titled "The Myth of a Christian Nation". We will meet in the new fellowship hall and that is where we meet now. The author believes a significant segment of American evangelicals are guilty of nationalistic and political idolatry. Have evangelicals fused the kingdom of God with a preferred version of the kingdom of this world? Have we allowed the kingdom of God to be polluted with political ideals, agendas, and issues? Is the kingdom of God centered on taking America back for God? Has this fusion had negative consequences for the Church and the advancement of God's kingdom? Does finding the right political path have anything to do with advancing the kingdom of God? These questions and more will be the point of the study and discussions in the class.
