Gifted to Care

Spiritual gifts are gifts to give away. God gives

them to us, and we use them to serve others.

How are you using your gifts right now? Are

you looking for a new way to use them? If

your spiritual gifts include one or more of the

following— faith, mercy, teaching the faith,

encouragement, or knowing—consider Stephen Ministry, our

congregation’s one-to-one caregiving ministry. This may be just what

you’ve been looking for!

Contact Rev. Yum 835.6797 ext. 145, Jo Winchester, 631.0122, or Terry

Townley, 835.7564 today.


CROP HUNGER WALK Sunday, October 1 | Midland Center for the Arts

Youth and adult church members are encouraged to

part of that total. The money is used to fund local,

national, and international hunger programs, and the

three mile walk represents the average distance women in developing

countries walk for water.

For more information, contact John Engler, [email protected],

835.6797 ext. 112, or Deb Jasin, 832.3034.

worship. Our Wednesday Night Chapel will also be

support group. It will be co-facilitated by Rev. Dr. Lisa McIlvenna,

Licensed Professional Counselor, and Ronald Brock, Limited License

Professional Counselor of Fresh Aire Samaritan Counseling Center.

Dealing with the death of a loved one can be among life’s most

difficult and stressful experiences. While everyone grieves differently, all

experience a range of emotions that are important in healing.

Research shows that those who give time and honest expression to

their grief in community with others who care, listen, and understand,

often are able to move through the grief in ways that bring greater

healing and wholeness.

“Healing in the Midst of Grief” Sundays, October 15 - November 5 1:00 - 2:30 pm | Parlor

Cost: $15 (for materials)

Registration: Fresh Aire Counseling, 835.7511, or Teri Beasley, 835.6797 ext. 120, [email protected]
