September Slides into Play

The summer months quickly flew by and now we have entered the month of September when everything kicks into high gear at church.

The Piecemakers will meet on September 7th and 21st at 9:00 a.m. If you like to quilt or help out, you are welcome to join them.

The Deacons will meet again starting on September 8th at 5:30 after not meeting over the summer.

The Chancel Choir is having their first practice on September 11th at 9:15 a.m. All are welcome to join! Come check it out and see how much fun we have. The choir will sing in church on September 18th.

Sunday School is starting up on September 18th with their kickoff for children and parents. Men and Women of the church, we need more teachers. If you would be willing to teach once a month, twice a month or each Sunday please let the Christian Education Committee know as soon as possible. The Committee is made up of Moderator Molly Miller, Marlys Mathiowetz, Ann Tiffany, Dorie Oja, Connie Bentson and Pastor Scott. Sunday School is offered to children three years of age through 4th grade.

Volunteers are always needed from Ruby’s Pantry which will be on the 20th of the month. Talk with Shellie Mammen if you have any questions.

Youth Club and Youth Faith and Action will start on Wednesday, September 28th. Youth Club will take place from 3:45 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. for kids ,Kindergarten through 5th grade. Ann Tiffany and Connie Bentson will be the leaders.

We will have a simple meal at 5:45 p.m. We will have a signup sheet for people to take turns making the meals. If you are willing to make a meal or two this year, please let Pastor Scott know.

Youth, Faith and Action will meet from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. this year. Students in 5th grade to 12th grade are invited to participate. We will focus on mission activities, games and getting to know others from our church and community. Pastor Scott will lead this along with parents when extra help is needed.

We are planning another Urban Plunge to the inner city of Omaha so we will be collecting soap, shampoo, conditioner, wash clothes, toothpaste, tooth brushes, deodorant, razors and shaving cream, combs, and band aids to make up care kits. We also bring gently used coats, socks, mittens and scarves.

Our two weekly Wednesday Bible Studies will continue at 7:00 a.m. for the Old Testament and 2:00 p.m. for the New Testament. We average 6 to 9 folks at 7:00 a.m. and 3 to 4 folks at the 2:00 p.m. There is room at the table for you!

If you are looking for a way to become more involved at the church, please talk with me and will find a place to best use your God given talents.

Thanks to everyone that participates in the life of our church. All of us together make up the body of Christ.

May you have a wonderful September as the weather starts to cool, the leaves begin to change and the crops begin to be harvested. May God bless you and your loved ones!

In Christ’s Love,

Pastor Scott

Urban Plunge

We Are Taking the Plunge… The Urban Plunge!

What is an Urban Plunge?!

Bring your youth on the ultimate urban mission trip to Omaha! Spread the Word of God, and the love of Jesus on a weekend trip with eternal significance. Experience new cultures within the USA, work with the homeless and those in need, discover your ability to serve others outside your comfort zone, discover God’s call for your life, and have life-changing impact within local communities.

For over 20 years Christ For the City International has been sending people into the world to transform lives and cities for the Glory of God. The Urban Plunge sends over 1,500 youth every year into 7 different cities within the United States.

We arrange all the details, partnering each group with 6-10 different ministries, allowing students to discover how God is calling them. In addition to planning the schedule, we also take care of the food, accommodation, and photos for your trip at a very affordable price. Each Urban Plunge team is accompanied by a trained facilitator, encouraging and debriefing your youth in how to live lives of purpose, challenge and incredible fulfillment for the Lord.

Experience genuine encounters with others, and God! Follow your calling and meet the need on an Urban Plunge, it will be more exciting, challenging and rewarding than you could ever dare to imagine.

Discover your mission today!

FPC will take the plunge Nov. 18-20!

**Kids 5th grade through adult are invited to join.

**Kids under the age of 13 will need to be accompanied by an adult.

Watch for more information to come from the Christian Education Committee!

Have any questions, contact Pastor Scott.
