This Sunday, November 8, we will present our commitment cards in
worship in both services. Over the past several weeks, you should
have received two mailings from the church. Each contained letters
from Robin Braun, who chairs our stewardship program this year. The
first letter contained a one page commitment card to indicate the areas
of interest you have in serving in the church and the community. This
was also part of the second mailing so that both husbands and wives
could fill out separate cards, and we have more available for pick up in
Oberholtzer Hall and the Narthex behind the Sanctuary.

We all have something to
offer. The Bible talks
about the parts of the
body and their differing
functions, and it draws a
parallel for members of
Christs church. It takes
all of us working in
concert for the church to
be as effective as it can
be changing lives for
God - and we ARE
changing lives!

Thanks
On behalf of the Christian Overcomers I would like to thank
the following people for there tireless service to the disabled community. Bruce and Linda Johnson, Linda Drake and Robin and Pat
Braun spent many days at camp being friends to some people that
really need the love of God in their lives. The Overcomer's organization is very appreciative for the volunteer service these folks perform. Also, the talents of the Joyful noises were there to lift the spirits of not only the campers but also the volunteers and all the staff
that came to hear them sing. Bob, Pete, Doug and Tom were bringing joy to people that never get to watch talent like this upfront and
personal. The smiles on the audience were amazing and a big
thanks to these guys. Once again.....A big " Thank You "to all who
helped out at those many camps. It was very much appreciated !!
Peace and blessings to all,
Dennis Wilkens
Thanks to Liz Green and Kelli Oney for organizing the stewardship
information event. Thanks also to all who manned the tables and
those who attended. - R Braun

much to gain.
