eNews for Wednesday, September 28

9/28/2016

 
Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird
​I would fly about the  earth seeking the successive autumns.

~ George Eliot
In Worship
In worship this Sunday, October 2, our minister will share a message titled “On the Necessity of a Forgotten Virtue” – a topic as timely as can be for the times we live in. We hope you’ll join us!

“Reverence has more to do with politics than religion. We can easily imagine religion without reverence; we see it, for example, wherever religion leads people into aggressive war or violence. But power without reverence – that is a catastrophe for all concerned.”     ~ Paul Woodruff

And…if you happened to miss our service this past Sunday, you will find the text version of the service, and also the text of the Black Lives Matter banner dedication on our website sermon archive page.

Upcoming Services:
October 9: “Against Nature”
- message written and presented by Guy Newland;
​   worship leader Vicki Chessin.
October 16: “What Protagoras Meant”

​First Friday Potluck - October 7

The potluck begins at 6:30 p.m.- helping hands are welcome at 6:15 p.m. to assist our minister with set-up
preparations. 

A Little Help Please!
We need baby holders for this upcoming year! If you would like to help out, please let Anna VanArsdaleHoot know what Sunday of the month you are available for holding any babies that come to church. You can contact her at vanar1ae@cmich.edu.

Photos Needed!
We are in need of a consistent flow of new photos of fellowship activities and events that we can use on our website and in our eNews publication. Most people find us by way of our website and no matter how bright and shiny our words are, pictures often depict more about who we are as a community. So bring your camera along or pull out that oh so smart phone from your pocket and document for us some of the life being lived in this community – thank you!
