Officer Nominations Now Open.  
The Session will be receiving officer nominations through Sunday, October 5th. This year is a little different because we are asking those making nominations to do so in accord with our “Guide to Officer Nominations” which you will find on the information desk of the Narthex. If you have any questions, please ask one of the elders. Please take time to read the guide before prayerfully considering whom to nominate.

Children’s Ministry Virtual Conference.  
This is Not only for those in children’s ministry! Is there a child in your life who needs another gospel influencer? Are you a teen interested in helping with kids?  The virtual GROW conference will help you teach children to pray, love the church, connect home with church, and gain a missional mindset. Join us in the Fellowship Hall, Friday, October 3, 6pm-8pm (dinner included,) and/or Saturday, October 4, 9:30am-12pm, breakfast included. Adults and very interested teens in 8th grade on up, please sign up in the Narthex for one or both days.

September Missions Moment
John and Rachel Clifford are MTW missionaries to Kigali, Rwanda with a heart for strengthening the Church across Africa. They are helping new church plants to flourish by working with a Bible College to train church leaders, and to run a missionary internship program for visiting college students. They just wrapped up their successful month long, 2025 internship program with 8 interns in July. Pray for these interns as they discern God’s calling to missionary work. Pray for the Cliffords and their 4 children and their vision to see Kigali become a hub for sending church leaders and missionaries across the continent.
