Spiritual Formation Series
For Adults
Sept. 30 “Living a Life of Simplicity”/ “Continuing
the Legacy”
Puzzle Solved!
Last week, we weren’t sure where this banner came from. Thanks to Alice Jo & Stanley DeFries, now we do!
“The banner that is pictured here was a gift to FBC Lawrence from Alice Jo. Her favorite hymn is I Feel the Winds of God
Today, and years ago asked a former Sioux Falls College student of ours to create the banner. The artist is Carol Rowat
Bath. She was so artistically gifted that she was asked to create many banners for Green Lake. This banner hung in our
Ottawa home for many years; then Alice Jo hung it
in the choir room at FBC Ottawa. When they were
ready to do some decorating in that part of the
church we asked if we might take the banner
back. We moved to Lawrence, hung the banner in
our kitchen for some years. THEN, Alice Jo gave it
to FBC Lawrence. We just couldn’t bear to throw it
away. (Note: We also have a smaller version in our
kitchen now.)” ~Stanley DeFries
Within the next few weeks, Justice Matters will be con-
ducting our house meeting process, gathering together
in homes across Lawrence to share the work of justice.
Last year, First Baptist joined with twenty other congre-
gations to share this important process. This year, you
will be invited to join in a house meeting to learn more
about justice (and injustice) in our community, and how
you can help to respond.

Wednesday Nights in October
October will be filled with fun and learning. And you are
invited to be a part of all of it! Look at these offerings:
October 7 – It’s Game Night! Because we will be hosting
Family Promise, our meal and game time will both be in
the new Narthex, behind the sanctuary. Bring a board
game that you’d like to play with others, and join in the
fun.
October 14 – It’s time for another Hymn Sing! We will
gather together to sing your favorite hymns. Be ready to
share a hymn, and perhaps a story that goes along with it. October 21 – It’s time to continue looking at our spiritu-
al gifts. We will look at the many ways in which God has
blessed our church—and you are an important part of
that. We will be consider the results of this last summer’s
3 Colors of Ministry study. If you have a book, but
haven’t filled out the questionnaire, you have time to do
so now. Let Pastor Cheryl know if you would like to visit
about your results. Or if you would like a book, let Pastor
Cheryl know, because we still have a few available. Even
if you didn’t take part in last summer’s combined Sunday
School study, come and help us discover the areas where
we, as a church, are most gifted, and those areas where
we can use some work.
October 28 – Fall fun night! Plan on having a fun time as
we gather together for games, costumes, and more. Look
for more details in a later Leaflet.
