Reflections- "God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.  There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him.  But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God's one and only Son." -John 3:17-18

Prayers for Florida- Most of us have family or friends who live in Florida.  Let's pray for the people devastated by Hurricane Ian.  I spoke with Ken Hale this morning.  Ken is a member of our church family who winters in Florida.  Ken is doing well.  He had minor damage to his home, and he still has power.

Trunk-or-Treat- we are making plans for this community outreach event on October 31st.  Please check the bulletin/newsletter attached to this e-mail for the details.  Invite your friends to bring their children/grandchildren to Trunk-or-Treat.

Build Up The Walls- FYI- Our Build Up The Walls offerings for September were the lowest of any month this year.  This will require us to take $1,756 out of our Build Up The Walls reserves to help with our mortgage payment this month.  We usually do have to dip into our reserves each month to make our mortgage payment. To date, we have only had 3 months this year when our Build Up The Walls offerings were sufficient to help meet our mortgage payment of $5,286.55.

 By way of review, we use 4 sources of money to make our mortgage payment: $2,400 budgeted each month in our General Fund; our regular monthly Build Up The Walls offerings (we need $2,886.55/month) ; our Thanksgiving Offerings and our Build Up the Walls reserves.  When we don't get enough in offerings, we tap into our reserves.  Currently we have $25,945.93 in our Build Up The Walls reserves.

Each November we receive a Thanksgiving Offering which is designated to help with our mortgage payments.  Please prayerfully consider what you can give this November for the Thanksgiving offering.  At the end of August, the balance on our church mortgage was $264,480.04.

Grace & Peace,
