Our Board of Trustees is working diligently to take care of our

facilities. If you see something that needs to be repaired, or

notice something that needs their attention, there is a proper way to handle this. They ask that you get the proper form from the church office, fill it out and return it either to the church office, Sidney Kidder (chairman) or Keith Keeton. These are then pre-sented to the Board of Trustees at their meetings for discussion. By following these procedures, they will have not have to rely on

text messages or verbal messages.

There will be two opportunities for you to take the “FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN”…Bible study.

1. The “Pilgrims’ Sunday School Class…Sunday mornings at 10:00 (books provided)

2. Wednesday Night Bible Study….In the Chapel. You do not have to have a book for Wed. nights. If you would like one, we can order one for you. The cost of the book is $9.50. (If you would like to pur-chase a book please let the

office know as soon as possible)

Fire On The Mountain, is a small group Bible study, by noted teacher and historian, Ray Vander Laan. It was filmed on location in Israel. This study follows the Israelites through the desert. When the Israelites left Egypt, they were finally free. Free from persecu-tion, free from oppression, and free to worship their God. But with that freedom comes a new challenge – learning how to live togeth-er the way God intends. In these lessons we will discover how God teaches the Israelites what it means to be part of a community that loves him and what that means for us today. By weaving together the Bible's fascinating historical, cultural, religious, and geograph-ical contexts, teacher and historian Ray Vander Laan shares the Scriptures' significance for modern day believers. Fire On The Mountain is in the Bible study series, That The World May Know’. (Focus on the Family) (Cristen Barnard will be the facilitator for this study.)

The Esther Class will start this study September 9th in our classroom. All ladies are invited to be a part.

Wednesday Children's Ministries need volunteers for the following areas: On the 2nd Wednesday of each month a bus driver to pick up kids is needed! This is for the little bus, so you do not need a special license. Playground monitors are needed for about 30 minutes each Wednesday. As kids arrive at the church, they will be able to go to the playground. Time about 3:00 until 3:35. Volunteers are needed to assist in the 3k/4k class during lesson time. We have two teachers, we just need some folks to help with supervision. You will not have any class preparation to do. 6-7 p.m.
