Junior High and Senior High Fall Retreat!

Junior High Retreat will be October 18th – 20th and Senior High will be November 1st – 3rd. The arrival time at camp is 6:30pm on the Friday night and pick up will be at 3pm that Sunday for both retreats. If you need help getting your camper there, please let Pastor Karey know and she will work to coordinate transportation. Keep an eye out for sign up forms on the tables located outside the sanctuary or at youth group. We want all students to be able to attend, please know if cost is a hardship there is scholarship available if you talk with Karey or Jake Vough, and Carissa Shipley.
Starting in December there will be a new program which will resource families with kiddos ages 2-Kindergarten as an extension of the Cradle Roll Ministry. This program is open to any children of the appropriate age attending our church. Resources will include items like picture books, learning cards, and activity books, which will engage kiddos while they learn. Both of these programs are an effort to help families read, share, and talk about their faith with children in an age-appropriate way. It is our hope the church can be a blessing as parents seek to raise their children to know the Lord. If you would like your child to participate in the Toddler/Pre-K “Sprouts” program, please place parent(s) name(s), child’s name, and date of birth in the church mailbox labeled “Jake Vough.”

SERMON NOTES
Life’s Biggest Questions
Why and How do I pray?
October 13, 2024
Matt. 6: 5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
9 “This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.11 Give us today our daily bread.12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one.’
14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
