Ministry Opportunities:
Welcome Center – Staff the Welcome Center on Sunday morning. You need to be available 15 minutes prior to the service and remain at the Welcome Center 15 minutes following the service. You may volunteer at either the 8:30 or 10:45 service. 
---
Wednesday Night Meals – Are you willing to donate your time in serving the meal or furnish food such as a crock pot of spaghetti or a pan of lasagna?  We need the food cooked and ready to be served at the church by 5:30pm. There will be a menu and sign up at the Welcome Center each week. Won’t you please come help us? (September – May) Contact Deb Ruthruff at 989-224-3978 with questions.  Last year we served between 60-100 children and families. 
---
Caravan – Beginning September 15th There will be many children coming Wednesday evenings to Caravan; some without the opportunity for dinner. It would help our Caravan leaders if we had a snack food pantry in case their schedules are pinched and they cannot bring a snack for their group. If you would like to help by providing individually wrapped snacks (no peanuts or peanut butter products please) you can bring them to church on Sunday and give them to Roberta Pennock.  
---
School Supplies for Jamaica – We have a team going to Jamaica December 4-11, 2010.  They are providing some school supplies, Christian crafts and teaching over 100 children.  A box in the coat room will be available for donations of crayons, markers, etc. Children Bibles are a real need.  Also, a monetary donation is always appreciated.  Mark your envelope Jamaica Team and place it in the offering plate.  
---

Monday Night Prayer

Studying Prayer and Worship, CD Series taught by Tony Kemp

Beginning September 13th 6:30 p.m.

Monday night Prayer will be starting something new this fall with a half hour of teaching and then we will go into prayer. You do not need to pray out loud if you don’t feel comfortable. We will listen to a teaching series taught by Tony Kemp bringing heaven to earth by our prayer and worship to our Lord. You will learn how the supernatural act of prayer and worship can open the heavens over your life so your needs can be miraculously met. God wants so much for us to give Him our whole heart to love Him and serve Him for the purpose He created us. Through prayer and worship, the love of God pours out on us, as we pour out our love for Him. When you sit in His presence just being still before Him, you find such an awesome peace. There is so much anxiety and stress in the times we are living in. Come and join the Monday night prayer for a time of regeneration through the teaching of worship and prayer. Taking this time for God will bless you so much; it gives you a boost to take on the rest of the week. Anyone is welcome to come... men & women. If you have any questions please call Pam Williams 989-224-3564 or e-mail me pmwill55@yahoo.com.
