The Life of the Church

Pastor Chelsea will be out of the office on Thursday, October 12. Contact the office if you need anything.

Do you have a story to share? We are looking for stories that might be about the following:

· How FPC has been a part of your life and your faith

· How you have experienced God at FPC

· Where you see God growing and changing us, or how you’ve seen God at work in our ministries here and in the community

· What FPC means to your family

· Why you give (money, time, whatever) to FPC

· Your dreams for FPC and why you want others to be a part of that

· What God’s abundant life means to you

We would love to have you share your story in worship in October or November. But if you’re absolutely terrified or speaking live in public—remember, though, you’re braver than you think!—we have some other options:

-Making a video of you speaking that can be shown in church (either I can take the video or you can do it selfie style)

-Writing out your story and having someone else read it

Remember, too, that your story doesn’t need to be about flashing lights, angels descending from heaven, or some other dramatic tale. Often God moves in our lives in incredibly ordinary ways, and so it’s the stories of God’s grace unfolding in community, slowly over time, that we can all relate to. Pray about it, and if you’re even the tiniest bit willing to consider sharing, please let me know. Thank you for considering!

Presbyterian Women’s Bible Study will be meet on October 11 at 10:00 a.m. at Radcliff Presbyterian Church. All are welcome to attend. If you have any questions, call Becky Brecht 270-234-6562.

We will be honoring All Saints Day on Sunday, November 5. If you would like the name of a loved one who has died in the past year (since November of last year) listed in the bulletin, please indicate their name on the Connection Card or contact the church office at admin@etownpres.org by Tuesday, October 31.

Candy donations needed! We’ll be handing out candy to any young people in worship on Sunday, October 29. It’s just a little way to spread some fun and invite some friends to worship. We’re calling it “Candypalooza!” Drop donations off at church through Thursday, October 26.

You’re invited! A bonfire and hiking at Dave and Lynn Phipps’ house on Saturday, October 14, 3:30-7:30 pm. Bring a dish to pass. Plates, utensils, cups, and drinks will be provided. We’ll be up the hill/driveway by the house at 4259 Battle Training Rd.
