I\u2019d like to highlight just a few\u00a0happening this weekend and next week:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Youth Sunday\/Rally Day<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>This Sunday, September 11, we are celebrating what God is doing through the educational and youth ministries of the church. The youth group will be leading\u00a0worship and sharing stories about the mission trip they were part of this summer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>We return to our regular Sunday schedule of:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Worship at 8:30am\u00a0and 11:00am<\/li>\n<li>Sunday School at 9:45.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>September 11<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>This Sunday marks the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.presbyterianmission.org\/story\/remembering-911-fifteen-years-healing\/\">fifteenth anniversary<\/a> of terrorist attacks that claimed\u00a0thousands of lives. We will acknowledge this anniversary at both worship services. I encourage you to consider participating in some of the community activities marking this significant remembrance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Playground Dedication<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>On Sunday we are\u00a0dedicating our newly-installed playground equipment following worship.\u00a0A potluck lunch will follow the dedication in the Fellowship Hall. Hot dogs will be\u00a0provided. The congregation is asked to bring a side item or a dessert item.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bible Study<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>After some discussion with others, I have decided to change the time of the weekly Bible Study from the noon hour to the evening. The Wednesday evening Bible\u00a0Study will meet in the church parlor at 7:15pm. We will study Galatians, and we\u00a0will meet through mid-November. If you have no other commitments that evening, I encourage to come and learn more deeply about this short but significant\u00a0book of the Bible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As always, if you have any questions about any of the activities in the life of the\u00a0church (or want to receive the complete CTPress newsletter), please contact the church office and we will be happy to answer any questions.<\/p>\n<p>Blessings,<\/p>\n<p>Pastor John<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remembering 9\/11 (Close-up of Twin Towers victims, photo wall at World Trade Center Museum).<br \/>\n** Youth Sunday\/Rally Day.
