As a reminder, our preschool and kindergarten class now joins the rest of the church body during communion. If you have a child in preschool or kindergarten, please pick up your child before taking communion.

As we reflect on the lectionary texts this year I want to encourage you to read the texts we do not cover during our Sunday morning gatherings at home.

Our MC for Youth has two new leaders this fall. Our Director of Family Ministries, Karis McQuinn, is joining us as the small group leader for our girls. Nathan Arnold is joining Manny Perea to co-lead our boys' small group. Like last year, David and Debbie Nelson will host and provide support where needed. It is a strong team!
One of the most gracious hosts I've ever met is an older gentleman I met around 14 months ago. He and his wife recently moved to Houston and now live with their adult children. Every time I visit him, he greets me with a fresh cup of coffee and some sort of dessert. This one time I visited him in the hospital, and he had the attendant bring an extra lemon-lime Shasta so that he could be a good host...while in the hospital! This man clearly exudes hospitality.

We need additional volunteers to help with children's ministry, youth ministry, and to help serve communion. Please prayerfully consider joining one of these ministry teams.
Much of the summer, we collected money to help provide school supplies, backpacks, and health services to children in our area. Because of your generosity, we were able to send $4,600 to Hope Active, the organization putting the event together. Thank you!

We have many things happening in the life of our community that help us deepen our communion with God, and that help us deepen our communion with others. I'd like to take a few minutes to share them with you.
