ANNOUNCMENTS

STEWARDSHIP MOMENT

PREPARE OURSELVES TO WORSHIP

CALL US TOGETHER

LEADER: In truth and love, God has called us into this house of

worship. God has said to us,

PEOPLE: “You are my people, I am your God.”

LEADER: Not once, but again and again the Word is spoken, and

there is rejoicing over all the earth. The words ring out

with a glad cry:

PEOPLE: “You are my people, I am your God. You are my

people, close to my heart.”

LEADER: When we merge our lives together, God is present.

PEOPLE: “You are my people, I am your God. You are my

people, close to my heart.”

LEADER: Come, O people of God; let us be glad as we sing God’s

praises; for our Creator and Redeemer has said;

PEOPLE: “You are my people, I am your God. You are my

people, close to my heart.”

LEADER: With awe and wonder, in the spirit of grace we lift our

voices unto the God of creation, who redeems us and

keeps us by the power of grace which comes from the

God we worship this day.

WALK TO DEFEAT ALS

As many of you know, our dear friend Mike Ginther lost his battle with ALS/Lou Gehrig's Disease on August 4th. Mike's challenges forever changed many of our lives, and brought an appreciation of the great joy of faith, family and friends.  His courage and the courage of his family brought a sense of awe and inspiration to many of us, and changed us for the better.  He left a most special mark on all of us, and a determination to fight more than ever to beat this disease!!!!

We will be participating again in the Walk to Defeat ALS on Saturday, October 9 in Corporate Woods.  This is a terrific opportunity to support those affected by Lou Gehrig's Disease and to spread awareness of the urgency to find treatments and a cure. Mike was determined to help beat this disease, and we are carrying on the fight!
Our walk team is called "Mike's Goofy Friends". If you are able to donate to our team, we will be able to make a difference in the lives of many others affected by this disease. We walk because we can!

You can check out my walk page at: http://web.alsa.org/goto/marthak

There you can read more about our efforts and donate online if you would like.  Checks are also appreciated, anything is wonderful!!!!!!

Regardless of a donation or not, please keep those suffering from this horrid disease in your prayers.

Thank you so much for your time and caring!!!!

God Bless You,

Martha Koslowsky
