THANK YOU: To the person who has been mowing the church lawn. May God richly reward you for your service to His house.

I wonder how many would attend a revival scheduled during “fair week”. I wonder who would miss the bus if Jesus drove up to the church to take us home on the Wednesday of “Fair week?” I have no idea who went when so stop thinking I’m picking on you Was just thinking.

Excellent Way to Wake-up Each Morning!
1. Wake Up!! Decide to have a good day. 
"Today is the day the Lord hath made; let us rejoice and be glad in it" Psalms 118:24
2. Dress Up!!
The best way to dress up is to put on a smile. A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks. "The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at outward appearance; but the Lord looks at the heart." I Samuel 16:7
3. Shut Up!!
Say nice things and learn to listen. God gave us two ears and one mouth, so He must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking. "He who guards his lips guards his soul." Proverbs 13:3 


4. Stand Up!!...
For what you believe in. Stand for something or you will fall for anything.. "Let us not be weary in doing good; for at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good..." Galatians 6:9-10
5. Look Up!!...
To the Lord. 
"I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me." 
Philippians 4:13 


6. Reach Up!!...
For something higher. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, And He will direct your path." Proverbs 3:5-6
7. Lift Up!!...
Your Prayers. "Do not worry about anything; 
Instead PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING." Philippians 4:6 



Out of respect for the Word that came forth last week from the Lord, please talk to your child about being attentive during praise & worship. “Train up a child in the way he should go.”

THE AWAKENING: Oct. 10, 10am to noon @ the courtsquare. Music: 7days; Preaching: Larry Massey & Rod Uhlig. And our D.O.C will be ministering. In the event of rain, this will be at Liberty Church (above Good News Bookstore) Workshops: 1pm – 2pm Answering the Skeptics of Our Day – Pastor Jim; 2pm – 3pm 7 Steps Satan Takes to Possess a Human Being – Andy Loos. Workshops will be at the Burt Ave. Wesleyn Church.
If you’re not doing anything, come on out to join in and partake of the ministering.

BINGO: I am putting together a fundraiser to pay for the Teen’s trip to Revolve in Columbus. Does anyone have a space that would hold 15 to 20 people for some Bingo that I could use? The weather is so unpredictable that I feel better about an indoor event – or semi-indoor like a garage. Thanks for thinking about it. Robin

On The Other Hand: Several of you are working diligently to raise the $2000 pledge Pastor made for Word Worship Center. Your work is not going unnoticed. We appreciate what you are doing and feel sure God will richly reward you for your caring heart. Thanks.

Apple Butter Stirrin’: Apple Butter Stirin’ Festival Oct. 16 -18. Support our booth.

As you might remember, the head of a company survived 9/11 because his son started kindergarten. Another fellow was alive because it was His turn to bring donuts. One woman was late because her Alarm clock didn't go off in time. One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike because of an auto accident. One of them missed his bus. One spilled food on her clothes and had to take time to change. One's car wouldn't start. One couldn’t get a taxi. The one that struck me was the man who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, took the various means to get to work but before he got there, he developed a blister on his foot.. He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid. That is why he is alive today.. Now when I am stuck in traffic, miss an elevator, turn back to answer a ringing telephone ... all the little things that annoy me.. I think to myself, this is exactly where God wants me to be at this very moment. Next time your morning seems to be going wrong, the children are slow getting dressed, you can't seem to find the car keys, you hit every traffic light, don't get mad or frustrated; it may be just that God is at work watching over you. May God continue to bless you with all those annoying little things And may you remember their possible purpose.
