Making Our Way Through the Bible at Calvin
2 And so it was with me, brothers and sisters. When I came to you, I did not come with eloquence or human wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.[a] 2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling. 4 My message and my preach-ing were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, 5 so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power. 6 We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7 No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. 8 None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 However, as it is written:“ What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”— the things God has prepared for those who love him—
10 these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit.

The general fund is in need of funds. Please note that if you are using your giving envelopes and wish to give to a specific fund, please specify that on the envelope. If the amount to be given to each account is not specified, the funds will be distributed by the percentages of the unified budget.
This is the first week of Sunday School and Catechism classes. Sunday School Students (2&3 year old-2nd grade) please report to Children’s Choir in the balcony following worship and grades 3-12 please report to your clas-ses immediately following worship.
Volunteers are needed to help serve at the Banquet on September 27 and at the Lighthouse on November 19. The sign up sheets are at the infor-mation center.
Sunday School and Catechism Students and Congregation, a noisy offering is being taken for a feeding program for families in Uganda. Kari David is doing speech therapy and finding many too weak to get full benefit, due to malnourishment. On Sunday mornings, 2 jugs will be in the fellowship hall, one for students and one for the congregation. We want to fill these with our change to help feed these people. The Outreach Committee has agreed to match these funds at Christmas time. LET’S BE NOISY WITH OUR CHANGE!
If you would like to share some of your fresh garden produce with your church family, bring them to church and place them on the table in the back of the fellowship hall.
