Missions Emphasis
October 22-27
Schedule of Events
Conference Notes:
You may notice the change in Missions Emphasis dates. This is due
to the availability of our Guest Speakers. They are looking forward
to spending time with us. We thank them for their openness to
add to their original schedule.
We will be setting up and decorating for Missions Emphasis on
10/22 at 10am. All who are available are welcome. We will need
help setting up tables and chairs, hanging flags, decorating tables,
etc. Tear down/reset will take place on 10/25 after the evening
service. Help is needed then, as well.
Our hope is to have 3 “regional” dinners to facilitate fellowship
with our NRC people and our Guest Speakers. The idea is for
someone to host dinner in their home and invite/open it up for
additional people to join them and our Guest Speakers. You can
provide the entire meal or ask others to bring something to share.
There are 2 opportunities for hosts.
10/24 Dinner: Hixson or Soddy-Daisy
10/26 Lunch or Dinner: Hixson or Soddy-Daisy
10/27 Dinner at Rick and Cheryl’s
Please see Diane R if you are interested in this unique
opportunity.
Guest Speakers will be attending Good News Club on 10/26.
Please be advised that our guest speakers serve in an area where
it can be challenging—and potentially dangerous—for them to be
publicly identified as believers. For their safety and protection,
please do not publish their names online or share them in any
form.
We will be collecting personal items for our Guest Speakers to put
a gift basket together for them. Items like snacks, personal items,
gift cards, stationary/note cards, etc. are appropriate. Avoid
things like candles, coffee mugs, etc. that would be challenging to
transport. Please bring items by 10/18.
We will also be taking a Love Offering for our Guest Speakers on
10/25 in the morning worship service.
If you have a question, please reach out to Pastor Gary, Rick,
Jayne or Diane.
Morning Ladie’s Bible Study
Please join us for the fall daytime Bible study starting September 10, 2026.
We will be meeting on Thursdays at 11:00 in the church kitchen.
We will be using the book “Finding God Faithful” A Study on the Life of Joseph, by Kelly Minter.
Amid hardship, tragedy, and unanswered questions, it’s difficult to see God at work.
How do we trust God is working all things for our good and His glory? Over 8 sessions, we will trace the path of Joseph’s life in the Book of Genesis to observe how God’s sovereignty reigns, even in our darkest moments.
Books can be ordered from Amazon.
See Karen Porter or Wendy Raszmann if you have questions or need help ordering a book.

8:00 PM, and will run for six weeks.
This fall we’re studying
When Strivings Cease by Ruth Chou Simons, a study for anyone tired of the
“You are enough—just improve yourself” message and ready to rest in
the enduring gift of grace.
Only the study guide is needed; it is available on Study Gateway for
$12.00; the book is optional.
New Creations

New Creations 〰️
NEW OPPORTUNITY STARTING IN OCTOBER!
Saturday, October 3 will be the first meeting of "New Creations", a time and place for fellowship and crafting. Bring your own craft, including your supplies, whether it be paper crafts, knitting, drawing... whatever! We will meet from 10 am to 12:30 pm in the church kitchen. If you desire, bring your own beverage and/or snack.
Going forward, we will be meeting the first Saturday of the month. This would be a great opportunity to invite an unchurched friend, coworker or neighbor.
