5...4...3...2...

This Sunday is Rally Sunday when we rally everyone together again for

our fall worship and programming season. Summer is setting (more on

that in moment), our summer worship schedule ends, and this Sunday we

return to two services (9 a.m. and 11 a.m.). Noah Burnett and friends join

with Debbie’s steady guidance to present our new praise band at first

service, alongside some more interactive worship elements. For second service, choir returns, we

have special music from Mary Margaret Dale, and we join together in Communion at both services.

Also, Children’ Ministry is expanding its offerings by starting

classes at 9:20 and continuing until 10:45. Adults and teens are

invited to join in a conversation at 10 a.m.

about the Parable of the Good Samaritan. It

will be a joyous morning, and if you are able,

please plan to join in BOTH services to

support the growth of each!

Then in the afternoon of Rally Sunday, at

3 p.m., we are hosting an “On Broadway” musicale celebration called

Summerset on Broadway. Come enjoy talented singers and musicians

from out of town and from within our own congregation presenting a variety of

musical styles. Bring a friend, or five, to this special

event that will serve as an exclamation point to a

great Rally Sunday.

As fall progress, stay tuned for another Next Steps brunch, receiving of

new members, Trail’s End Sunday, and a fall church cook-out and barn

dance. It’s a great time to BE ALL IN!

See you in worship!

Pastor Rob

Last week’s online conversation about science, fertility, and Christian boundaries continues HERE if

you would like to see what others have said or wish to add your own thoughts. The first online

discussion about music and our brain is also still ongoing HERE

Enjoy a good meal at an affordable price (donation), and great conversation with friendly people. Sign up on the clipboard or call the church office so we have an idea how many to prepare for. Invite a friend or two to join you. We hope to have good attendance this season.
