Our Mission Statement To provide opportunities

for people to discover God’s love,

seek God’s purpose, and do God’s will.

Our Vision Statement Glorifying God with mind,

body, and soul.

“Like good STEWARDS of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever GIFT each of you has received.” 1 Peter 4:10

STEWARDSHIP SEASON

One of the ways we serve God and one another is by using the gifts of our TIME, our TALENTS, and our TREASURE in the ministries of the church. Come celebrate this SEASON by joining us for the Wednesday night BIBLE STUDY, our SERMON SERIES- “Loving God with all our ALL”, and join the feast that culminates the season with a COMBINED SERVICE OCTOBER 27th. We will dedicate our Pledges for the coming year and share food and fellowship at the STEWARDSHIP LUNCHEON.

Opportunities for everyone!

Mark your calendar for October 6th, as we celebrate world communion Sunday, by

breaking breads from around the world. Join

us as we gather in the fellowship hall

immediately after worship, to sample the

breads with assorted jams, spreads and dips.

Commitment Sunday, October 27th, we will have a combined worship service at

11 am. Following the service, please come

and enjoy a full course lunch, being provid-

ed by the Fellowship Committee.

All are invited to attend, as it will be an

opportunity for fellowship with our entire

church family.

MISSION FOCUS FOR OCTOBER

Christ invites, and our doors are open to believers from

all over the world, and from every time and place.

Christ invites,

which makes for Peace This offering enables the church to promote the peace of Christ by addressing systems of injustice in our own communities and around the world. Please continue to support Bikes for Jesus’ Birthday program. Thank you for your participation in the mission opportunities of the Little Church with a Big Heart.

Mustang Market Roundup!

Hi Ya'll! Another school year has begun and you have a continued opportunity to serve our community by supporting the Mustang Market at Seffner Elementary School. The students earn Mustang Money by showing the three R's (Respect, Responsibility, and Right Choices) and they are able to take that money to the Mustang Market and purchase fun items. Last year you donated an impressive amount of items to the Market and we can continue that this year. The Mustang Market is held about once a month, but we will collect throughout the year and take the donations when they are needed. Thank you for your support in this endeavor to help the children in our community.

and BINGO! October 5th,

5:30 pm

All you can eat spaghetti, served with salad, bread, dessert and beverage. Followed by an exciting game of Bingo! Proceeds benefit the youth and their trip to Montreat. For tickets, see a youth member; dinner tickets are $8, Bingo cards are $2 each or 3 for $5.

NEED ASSISTANCE?

CAN YOU ASSIST?

Nursery Volunteers Needed!!!

Can you devote 75 minutes every two-three months to help with our littlest lambs? We have quite a few little ones

in our nursery during both worship services. While we have an amazing Nursery Attendant, an extra set of loving arms and watchful eyes are always needed. Your job would be to assist the Attendant and to engage the children in activities, comfort them if needed, and to watch out for their safety. The times we need you are : 9:15-10:30 during the Contemporary Service and 10:45-12:15 for the Traditional Service. Why not help out during one service and worship at the other?

us. Thank you for your generosity.
