NOTES AND HAPPENINGS
Weekly Prayer Focus: “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” (Gal. 6:2). Hold in prayer this week someone you know who is hurting. Listen for God’s prompting as to how you might help lighten their load.
Weekday Religious Education (WRE) is a ministry to school children in our community. Volunteers are needed at Mountain View Elementary School on Thursdays & Fridays in November, to walk with the children from their school to the Bible classes. Please contact Mary Lou Vrolijk at 432-9763 if you are able to help.
There are some beautiful 2010 calendars available on the table in the foyer. Please support the youth group by making a purchase at $6.00 each. Checks can be made out to Mt. Clinton Youth; just place your payment in either the Bergey's or the Benfeldt's mailbox.
If you have prayer chain communications and aren’t able to contact Pastor Lee or the church office, both Mary Louise Lehman and Barb Hartzler have the church email list on their home computers and can send out prayer chain items.
