Pastor Alvis Out of Office: Pastor Alvis will be out of the office on Tuesday, Oct 28th at an AMC pastors gathering in PA, so there will not be Bible study on October 28th. He will be back in office on Wednesday, October 29.
Encounter Invitation: All are welcome to “Encounter,” a monthly gathering led by Ted Steiner and Anita Yoder. We meet at 7pm at First Baptist Church in Shaker Heights for a time of silence, singing, and sharing. We think it is very important to build community with one another, listening together for God’s loving voice. Please feel free to invite any neighbors or friends who might enjoy and benefit from our gathering.
Upcoming dates are: Oct. 26, Nov. 23, Dec. 14
Missions Month: November is Missions month at FMC. We will be highlighting four of the organizations that FMC supports each Sunday and collecting a special offering that will be distributed evenly to the organizations at the end of the month.
Mennonite Action Training: Mennonite Action is coming to Lee Heights on Sunday, December 7th for a potluck and training as a stop on their “To Build Our Courage” National Training Tour. In order for this to run smoothly, we need volunteers! Some jobs include helping with the potluck, setting up, childcare, song leader, photographer, etc. If interested in volunteering, please contact Marita Beachy-Owusu.
MMN Prayer Request: Mennonite Missions Network requests prayer for JCS International’s leadership at all levels and, especially for Gerlee (many Mongolian people identify with a single name), in her role as interim executive director. May God’s Spirit guide this leadership transition and pray for more long-term workers to help with the many opportunities to serve in Mongolia.
