Welcome to Our Guests
We extend a warm welcome to our guests today at Canyon Creek. We are honored by your presence, and it is our hope that you will be blessed this morning. At the beginning of the service, visitor cards will be distributed by our children. We ask that you fill out the card and place it in the collection plate. Again, we thank you for worshipping with us today.
Thanks to all who came for the Fundraiser Lunch last Sunday. The Youth Group raised about $130 to go toward their activities.
Again, we congratulate the Truitts on the birth of Rachel Marin! She was born Thursday evening, September 4, and weighed 8 pounds 2 ounces and was 18 inches long. Congratulations Justin and Christy!! And by the way, she’s beautiful, and they are all doing well.
Tonight we will go to Hearthstone for a worship, singing and communion service with the residents there. Please come to Hearthstone by 6 pm and help us with that ministry.
Next Thursday our Ladies’ Bible Class will meet at 9:30 am. Those of you who were involved in this class in the spring will remember your study of the book At Jesus’ Feet by Kirkie Morrissey. We will continue that study with “Listening to the Spirit” on page 53. If you were not involved in the spring, there is one extra copy of the book that you can get from LouAnn. Just ask if you need it! Childcare will be provided for preschoolers.
Next Sunday, we are scheduled to have a group from Abilene Christian University called “Seekers of the Word” come to visit us here at Canyon Creek. They will arrive on Saturday afternoon or early evening (time to be announced later). We will host the members of the group in our homes, and then they will be in charge of the worship service Sunday morning. After the Sunday morning worship service, they will meet and have lunch here at the building with all who are or would be interested in a drama group forming here at the church.
On Sunday, September 28, we will be taking up a special offering to benefit Eastern European Missions in their Million Dollar Campaign all across the United States on that day. Please plan to help with this effort.
On Tuesday, September 30, the Evening Women’s Study will begin. The class will meet from 7 to 8 pm (Dorris is trying to make it not last as long as the Beth Moore classes did!) The class will study the book, Walking by Faith “Lessons Learned in the Dark” by Jennifer Rothschild. You may get your book at Lifeway; they cost about $10. Childcare will be provided.
A LOOK AHEAD:
Our MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group will be starting on Monday, October 8 at 9:30 am. If you know anyone who would be interested in this group, please let them know or have them call Jennifer for information.
