Church School

Dear Friends,

I am writing this short note to encourage you to get back into the "swing of things" and come to worship this Sunday. This community of faith is just not complete without all of you here. We miss you when we don't see you on a regular basis. Come and praise God with us at the 9:00 A.M. or 11:15 A.M. service. We would love to see you all!

Please remember that this Sunday, September 14th, we will again begin Christian Education classes for every age group. The children will be doing a rotation called "Teach Us How To Pray." The Middle School class will meet in the Kitchen/Conference Room and High School group will be meeting in the couch area in the Community Outreach Center. The Adult Class for the first part of September will be meeting in the Celebration Space at 10:05 A.M. The folks who gather will be doing "Sermon Talk Back" with me. I sure am looking forward to the dialogue with many of you.

On Sunday, September 28th, Bruce Blumer (Executive Director of the Dakotas United Methodist Foundation) will be presenting a seminar on Estate Planning. This seminar will be held in the Celebration Space and will begin immediately following the 9:00 A.M. worship service.

Every Sunday in October, the adults in the congregation are invited to do some Stewardship Education. We will probably be meeting in the Multi-Purpose Room and spend time discussing to whole concept of "stewardship." The 2009 Budget will be reviewed at each of those sessions. We will spend about 15-20 minutes discussing the budget and the rest of the time doing an overview of "stewardship" and how it relates to our lives as Christian human beings. Please plan to attend one or more of those sessions (We will be covering the same basic information each week!)

There is a lot going on around here! Come and join us in the work of that Church. Help us be a congregation that glorifies God.

In the Master's service,
Steve
