News & Announcements for Sunday, September 29, 2024

JOIN US FOR SUNDAY SCHOOL

If you’re looking for an opportunity to grow as a disciple of Jesus Christ, we encourage you to join us Sunday mornings for a intergenerational Sunday school class, from 9:00-10:00.  We look forward to seeing you!

FOLLOWUP TOWN HALL MEETING – WED, OCTOBER 2, 6:30PM

We will have a followup Town Hall meeting on Wednesday, October 2nd at 6:30 pm.  All active participants and members of the church are encouraged to attend.  We will be providing an update on the state of the church and what we see ahead of us.  Please be sure to attend.

 GLEANING FOR THE WORLD – DONATIONS NEEDED

Gleaning for the World is looking for donations of Bibles, Christian literature and other faith-based materials.  For your convenience, you may bring any items you would like to donate to church.  More information about what Gleaning is looking for can be found in the flyer outside the sanctuary.

ELON RURITAN CLUB – DONATIONS NEEDED

When you start your Fall cleaning, remember: The Elon Ruritan Club is looking for donations for its annual Fall Yard Sale scheduled for November 2. You can call John Oblinger  or Barry Tucker to arrange drop off at the Club or pick up (for larger items) at your home.

CARE PACKAGES FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS

Mid-terms are coming up and our college students could use some encouragement.  For the first two Sundays in October (10/6 and 10/13), we will be collecting items to fill care packages for our seven NEPC college students.  If you’d rather not bring items, we’d also welcome cash donations to cover the cost of shipping (roughly $10 per box for the four out of town students).  We’ll also have cards available for you to sign.  Please see the October newsletter for a list of our college students, more information about the packages, and ideas of what to include.

HELPING HANDS OFFERING – THIS MORNING

Each 5th Sunday, any undesignated offerings placed in the collection plates go to Helping Hands, a ministry of churches in the Madison Heights-Elon area of Amherst County to help residents in need. It is administered through Madison Heights Baptist Church. Thank you for helping us meet the needs of those in our community!
