CALL TO CONFESSION

PRAYER OF CONFESSION (in unison) Holy and gracious God, at times we feel so frail and fragile, getting blown about by the latest crisis, by bad news, by our own short tempers and failings. You call us to hold fast to what is good, but so often we flounder, unable to find that solid thing that will center us again. Help us, we pray. Help us to see you as our center, and to cling to the good that you create in the world. Help us to set aside all our jealousies and prejudices, all our disappointments and failings, anything that adds to the hurt of the world. Help us to grow into Christ’s likeness, so that we may day by day shine his light and share his love and grace throughout the world. This we pray in His name. (Silence for personal confession)

Hurricane Harvey Relief

The unprecedented rains in Texas and Louisiana caused death and widespread destruction. As efforts to recover from these storms mobilize, you can support Christian organizations which play important roles in supporting the affected communities. Please join these organizations and all those responding to these and other human tragedies with both prayer and action. Salvation Army Salvation Army is already onsite in Texas providing physical, mental and spiritual support to victims of the recent storms. We work with Salvation Army here in Plymouth and trust they are very efficient and effective in their disaster recovery work. You can assist Salvation Army with their current disaster response by donating to: https://give.salvationarmyusa.org/site/Donation2?df_id=27651&mfc_pref=T&27651.donation=form1 Presbyterian Disaster Assistance Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) is our church's arm which organizes relief efforts for our denomination. They typically play a role in the later recovery phases of disaster relief, assisting with social services and physical rebuilding of communities after the initial emergency responses are completed. Our church was actively involved with PDA for several years in long term assistance, primarily home repairs and rebuilding, after Hurricane Katrina in Mississippi. If needed in Texas, PDA will likely play a similar role there. You can support PDA now through your prayers and donations to: https://pma.pcusa.org/donate/make-a-gift/gift-info/DR000169/ You will notice on their website (https://pda.pcusa.org/situations/national/) that there are already many less publicized disasters being addressed around the country by PDA. Please consider how you can support PDA as a donor or volunteer as opportunities arise. National International Mission Committee

National/International Mission Malawi Partnership Update: We have not made an FPCP visit to Malawi this year, but several members have been volunteering in Malawi in 2017 for different ministries. Here are some recent highlights of FPCP supported activities in Malawi: - Anji Martin traveled to Malawi for six weeks this spring as part of her masters degree program at the University of Pittsburgh. Anji's project in Malawi was to survey farmers in the Mtenthera region to determine what benefits they realized from the Farming God's Way (conservation agriculture) training they had received from Veritas College, sponsored by our partnership. Final statistics are still being compiled, but Anji's general sense is that farmers were grateful for the training and realize they must change how they work their soil in order to reduce food insecurity. Anji also spent many days at Mtenthera CCAP and preached sermons on several Sundays. We are so grateful for her willingness to represent FPCP at Mtenthera and continue to build strong relationships there. - Laura McHugh took a week long volunteer trip to Malawi with Malawi Matters. Laura assisted the team in Malawi as they provided HIV/AIDS prevention and women's empowerment training to several hundred pastors' wives and women's guild members. Laura stopped by Mtenthera CCAP briefly and was able to greet the new pastor, Rev. Mark Kalingande. We thank Laura for traveling to Malawi on her own to support Malawi Matters, an organization sponsored by FPCP. - Three FPCP members will be traveling to Malawi this month to volunteer with Marion Medical Mission. Tom Kage, Doug Kee and Don Kronig (recently relocated to Colorado) will be part of the first of two teams of US volunteers who will spend three weeks in rural African villages in Malawi, Tanzania or Zambia, installing shallow water wells. Marion Medical's team will leave for Malawi on September 15th and return October 8th. - At Mtenthera, the harvest has been completed. We are very grateful that the Lord provided good rains and thus a plentiful harvest of maize and beans this year. There are always challenges as prices fall and storage is limited, but the farmers in central Malawi can provide for their families and earn some cash this year from their crops. We are currently supporting ongoing Veritas College training in Farming God's Way for church members to help them improve soil condition and future crop yields. Your support with food aid the past couple of years is most appreciated and not taken for granted. The farmers in Malawi live in complete dependence upon adequate rainfall each year. For more information on Veritas College’s role in Malawi, see their newsletter at fpcp.net/serve/mission/national-mission - In mid October, our partnership coordinator from Malawi, Hussein Latif, will be visiting FPCP from October 15 - 26. Hussein will be preaching at all three services on Sunday, October 22nd. We are also planning an evening event during Hussein's visit to Plymouth, when he will update us on current activities at Mtenthera CCAP. Please plan to join us and greet Hussein during his visit to Plymouth. National International Mission Committee

This month we are praying for 13-year-old Shelby. She recently attended the Meet and Greet party at FPCP this August. Shelby enjoys playing games and participating in sports, and wants to be a cheerleader. She also enjoys crocheting. And unlike many kids, Shelby enjoys school, listing writing and art as her favorite subjects. More info can be found at Mare.org.

The Gospel According to Paul, by John MacArthur Join this 8-week Bible Study, Tuesday Evenings in the Chapel

7:15 to 9:00 p.m., Tuesdays from September 19 to November 7, 2017 The subtitle of this new book by John MacArthur, published in 2017, is “Embracing The Good News at the Heart of Paul’s Teachings.” Unlike the rest of the apostles, Paul never spent time with Jesus during Christ’s earthly ministry. However, he defended the authority and purity of the gospel: “I am appointed for the defense of the gospel of God.” MacArthur writes, “Gospel truth permeates everything Paul ever wrote.”

Join in reading and discussing topics, including Things of First Importance, How Can a Person be Right with God, Alive Together with Christ, and The Lessons of Grace.

Sign up on the bulletin board next to the elevator on the first floor.

Copies of the book (cost $13) will be available at the first class on Tuesday, September 19.

Questions? Please contact Roger Cromwell ([email protected]) or Nancy White ([email protected]).

You will look at these women’s successes and failures, see how they drew near to God in the midst of trials, and learn how they overcame rejection and disappointment. Their stories will inspire us to persevere through difficult times and find joy in the hope that Jesus has provided. This 10-week Study Guide provides reflective questions to be answered between sessions. A DVD lesson is shown in class each week with small group discussion to follow. Class meets from 9:30 – 11:30 a.m. with free childcare. Contact: Rev.
