While sorting through bags of coats donated to our Winter Coat Ministry,
I came across a book titled “Thanking God for your Servant Heart.” If this was
purposely left in the bag as a thank you to our team, then we do thank
you for your kind expression of appreciation and I will share the book with
our team members. If it was not intended to be left in the bag of coats,
please let me know and I will see that it is returned to you.

relatives about items of clothing that could be donated, please keep in mind

letting them know they are invited to come.
You also have the opportunity to volunteer your time the week of October 6^th,

sheets are also in the narthex beginning today. Thank you once again for all your
support and prayers for our ministry.

We will be observing the Lord’s Supper. Also, the first Sunday of each
month is Benevolence Sunday at Huron Shores Fellowship. Maintaining
a Benevolence Fund is one way to help those who come to the church for
aid during difficult times. The call to provide for the needy is found throughout
the Bible. In Matthew 25:34–40, Jesus emphasizes the need
for benevolence in God’s name. John asks, “If anyone has material possessions
and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can
the love of God be in him?” (1 John 3:17–18).
“God loves a cheerful giver”  (2 Corinthians 9:7).
Monetary gifts dedicated to the Benevolent Fund can be made in the
form of loose bills/change or a loose check/envelope with the specific designation
of “Benevolent Fund”.

Our Fall Wednesday Night programming starts September 10. We will
have the Wednesday Night Supper followed by Children and Youth
programs for all ages, as well as an adult study. The study of the gospel
of Mark will be led by Mary Beth Englund. Choir practice will also be
