HOLIDAY PIE SALE
We are selling pies to donate to Hope Southern Indiana to put in their 100 Thanksgiving dinner baskets that they’ll be making for those in need in our community. On top of that, $6.00 of each sale will go to Nomad Church Collective as we join with them to help their mission of reaching those marginalized in our community. You can purchase pies to donate as well as purchase pies for yourself and others! Our goal is to sell 100 DONATED pies to fill all of their baskets! If we reach that goal, whoever sold the most pies to be donated gets to PIE PASTOR NEIL!
Pick up your order form with more instructions out in the Atrium Sunday morning!
Forward Fall Fest
Bonfire, hayrides, and so much fun we can’t even list it all! We will be having a fall festival off campus on Sunday, October 24th from 3:00-7:00! It will be in Elizabeth, about 20-25 minutes from the church.
Get it on your calendars so you can be sure to join us! If you plan to attend, we ask that you sign up just so we have an idea of how many people to provide food for.
The address to the location will be provided in your confirmation e-mail 🙂
We will have a special activity in which we will need candy, so we will be taking up candy donations as we have done in the years past for our trunk-or-treats. If you would like to provide a bag of candy for the Fall Fest, we will start collecting them THIS Sunday by the forKids check-in station! ** Please try to get candy that DOES NOT contain NUTS **
Kids are welcomed to dress up for all the fun! And all you need to bring is a lawn chair and if you’d like to, you can bring a non-heated appetizer type food.
We hope to see you there!

If you didn’t get to make it to our last Lunch with the Leaders session, we’re having another one on Sunday, October 17th!

Chest Of Joash
The Chest of Joash provides an opportunity to give above and beyond the normal tithe. The money from it goes directly to work needed done on our building.
In 2 Chronicles 24 we find Joash repairing the temple and a chest was set outside of it for people to bring a tithe that was used to pay the workers restoring the temple. Verse 10 says, “And all the princes and all the people rejoiced and brought their tax and dropped it into the chest until they had finished.”
A huge THANK YOU to all of you who have joyfully donated just as the Israelite officials and people did!
You can give to the Chest of Joash by clicking the button below and selecting “Chest of Joash” in the drop down menu.
