“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” 

Class Meeting for September 18th: Read Chapters 5 & 6 in The Applause of Heaven. There are plenty of things to “mourn” about in our world of experience. From the brokenness of our world to the brokenness of our own personal experiences, life can get messy at times with its unwanted surprises and unexpected soliloquys. But the promise of Jesus is ours to accept: We will be “comforted.”

The Church Board: Roles, Responsibilities, and Expectations associated with Church Leadership

Message: “Blessed are the Meek” (Psalm 37:1-9) –  Meekness is not weakness. Instead, meekness is divine strength that resides within those who renounce every right of their own and live for the sake of Jesus. 

Sunday, September 29th, following worship, the Church Board will meet. All members are encouraged to attend. The Deacons and Elders comprise the voting membership of our Board. 

We will prepare and serve lunch to seniors gathered at St. Jude’s Catholic Parish. We begin preparation at 10:30 a.m. and serve at about 11:30 a.m. We need volunteers to come help. This is a very good outreach event. If you would like to fund the dinner, you can make your contribution either by cash or check (made to First Christian Church). Make sure that you mark clearly on the envelope or the check that this contribution is for the Sr. Citizens' luncheon. Come and lend a hand!
