There is a sign-up sheet on the table to provide a meal for Barb & Gregg Lemmon. Please sign your name & what you might bring on a day in this calendar. Please use foil containers and lids (there are some on the table). This helps greatly, so no one needs to wash or return pans. Barb is allergic to seafood. If you have questions, contact Teresa Faidley or Barb Snyder.
Sept 21- CAMP DAY! Please join us at our beautiful Camp Sonrise Mountain for Sunday School (everyone together) and Worship Service (children will have their own activities) starting at 10:00 a.m., followed by a “fantastic” covered dish lunch. Pot roast, chicken, gravy, rolls and drink provided along with tableware. Come spend the day with Friends and Brothers and Sisters in Christ! Bring a swimming suit for the heated pool or athletic shoes to take a walk, hike or many of the athletic events that you can do at our beautiful facility! Sitting and relaxing is also a great option as well! Instead of campfire, we’ll be doing an Ice Cream Social in the early afternoon like last year! The camp committee would love to have everyone join us for this fun-filled day! Please see Stacey Rosman with any questions or directions to the camp. First service will still be held at 8:15 at the church. If anyone would like to be baptized, please see Pastor Will.
Super Senior and Friends trip to see the elk in Benezette, Pa is scheduled for October 2. The cost is $110.00 per person. The deadline to sign up and pay is today. We will be leaving the Fellowship Center at noon with arrival at the Visitor Center at 3:30 p.m.. There will be time to visit the center and watch a film before our wagon ride out to see the elk at 5:00 p.m. We will be dividing into 2 wagons, 15 minutes apart. After the wagon ride there will be a turkey and ham dinner at the visitor’s center. Expected to be back by 11:00 p.m., of course, with our track record, it may be another 2-day trip!!
The Wed Evening adult service is starting a new study on the gospel of Matthew titled Being Discipled by Jesus. It is a discussion-based study that approaches Matthew as a discipling manual. It was written to teach us how to be a disciple of Jesus and how to disciple others. With so many “discipling manuals” on the market today, why not go back to the original? See you on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 p.m. at the Fellowship Center.
We will be accepting donations of candy for the Fall Harvest Party (much like the candy donations for the Easter egg hunt). Please NO PEANUT products !!
Much help is needed (volunteers of all ages!) for the fall harvest party! Help is needed in several rooms to help children complete the activity to move along on the amazing journey through the Fellowship Center, also learning that God is with you through life. Help is needed with crafts, games and food as well. If you are willing to serve to please sign up on the sheet in the vestibule.
Toddler Time will resume on Thursdays, beginning September 18th and going until October 30th. It will be held at the Fellowship Center in the Children’s Midweek Room at 10 am. Toddlers, babies and Caregivers are invited to join in an hour of singing songs, hearing a story about the Lord, enjoying felt board stories, a craft, snack and time of play! Its free, no sign up required! If you have any questions, please see Hillary Whaley.
To alleviate some current confusion about Jr. Church. There is Jr. church every week for the little kids. There is Jr. church for all ages on the fifth Sunday.
For the older kids there is NO Jr. church on the FIRST Sunday of the month. This is so they can experience worship with their families once a month.

I Am (he)

John 18:1-14 1 When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was a garden, and he and his disciples went into it.
2 Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples. 3 So Judas came to the garden, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.
4 Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?” 5 “Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) 6 When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
7 Again he asked them, “Who is it you want?” “Jesus of Nazareth,” they said. 8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.” 9 This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: “I have not lost one of those you gave me.”
10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) 11 Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”
12 Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus. They bound him 13 and brought him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year. 14 Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jewish leaders that it would be good if one man died for the people.
Other scriptures: John 13, 14, 15, 16, 17; Matt. 26:34-46; Mark 14:32; Luke 22:39-52
