Kirkin’ of the Tartans:  This service celebrates our church’s Scottish heritage. A Kirkin’ O’ the Tartan is a tradition that is considered to be a rededication (of clans and families) to God’s service. While 18th century Scots had to hide their ancient clan tartans in the Kirk (church), today Scots and those of Scots descent, celebrate both their national and their religious heritage with a Kirkin’.   Please join us for this special service and luncheon on October 27.  Remember to wear plaid as a tribute to our church’s Scottish heritage.

PW Enrichment Day will be on October 22 at 10:00 AM in the parlor. Our speaker will be Jovanah Simmons with the Area Agency on Aging of S.E. Texas. All ladies are welcome!

Fellowship Class is starting Glory Days (Joshua) by Max Lucado October 13 for 6 Sundays (ending     November 24).  Life has a way of taking the life out of us. Often, we go through situations where the          challenge seems so much greater than our strength. During such times, we can find hope and inspiration from the story of Joshua.  The same is true for us today. God is telling us that our best days--our "glory days"--are still ahead of us. We only need to grasp that truth and live in faith to realize this promise.

Feasting on the Word:  The 5th & 6th grade and the 7th - 12th grade classes have launched!  Both groups are meeting (at opposite ends) in the Youth Room at 9:15 am on Sunday mornings.

Join us Sunday mornings at 9:15 am for our Grace & Men's class in the study.

The Prodigal God:  The Women of Grace class is studying The Prodigal God, by Timothy Keller on Sunday mornings.  In The Prodigal God, pastor Timothy Keller uses the story of the prodigal son to shine a light on the central, beautiful message of Jesus: the gospel of grace, hope and salvation.  Keller argues that the parable of the prodigal son, while Jesus’ best-known parable, is also his least understood. Please join us at 9:15 AM in the Conference Room (in the office area).

Scripture Reading:  2 Timothy 2:24-26

Prayer Prompts:  Pray for the search committee to discern if potential pastoral candidates possess the biblical qualities of a servant of the Lord. Pray for the church to affirm these qualities in their future pastor.
