THIS MONTH our focus is on Christian Family Life. Two weeks ago we heard about Christ-Centered Marriage. Last week our theme was Training Young Children. Today, three families from Hope Church (Kosmas, Lockwood and Niemi) will share about Scripture in the Home. 

NEXT SUNDAY we will start a five-week series of messages based on Matthew chapter 18. This chapter is called the "Discourse on the Church" because Jesus teaches, at length, about our relations with one another within the church. Please read Matthew 18 in preparation for next Sunday. 

ALSO NEXT SUNDAY, the Lord's Supper will be served during our worship service. 

THIS FRIDAY, October 2, the Steadfast Seniors will have their monthly lunch gathering at 12:30 pm.
