Pastor's Notes

This week Stephen turned six. We gave him some presents Wednesday, and then had cake with him on Thursday. Other than having laryngitis, he seemed to have a good time. As I write this, we are planning to go down to South Jersey in a couple of hours. I believe that Mom is planning on celebrating with him down there.

In a couple weeks, Sarah and the children will be heading down to North Carolina to visit with her parents. Rachel and Michah (Our newest nephew) are flying in from Ohio. Ryan and Laci now live and work in the area, so they will be around for part of the time. While they are away, I will be able to get ahead in some of the projects looming before me.

Next Sunday, we will finish the Adult Sunday School lessons through "The Maturing Church: Studies in 1 and 2 Corinthians." The following week, we will have Dr. Stelzer with us for a Bible Conference on Heaven. Please use the enclosed flyer to invite people to this special conference as we discuss the realities of our future home. Following the Bible Conference, Pastor Bossley will begin teaching the adult class.

Today is my sister's birthday. Hopefully, by putting this on the back of the bulletin, I will remember to call her. If not, I can always show her the bulletin to demonstrate that I remembered her birthday. Wow! October is a busy month for us with so many birthdays.
