Please pray for Barb Shelbrack’s parents. Her father Joe is recovering from pneumonia and her mother Irene is recovering from back surgery. They both are staying in a rehab facility in Madison, WI and their recovery is going very well. Please pray that they regain their strength and their faith in God grows stronger.
Thank you!!! Barb

| Cleaning for Christ |
“And now, brothers, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the Macedonian churches. Out of the most severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own…”
2 Corinthians 8:1-3
As disciples, God gives us more than we deserve. Deep relationships, miracles, mercy, purpose are just some of the God-given gifts of true Christianity.

| Campus & Teen Ministry after Movie Night at Clarke House |
On Sunday, September 17th, people of all ages joined us for a special worship service led by the Campus and Teen Ministry.
For those wondering, “what is wrong with today’s young people?” know this: hope has arrived.
God has raised up three song leaders in the campus ministry: Anthony Franklin, Joel Parlour and Patrick Boea, Jr. They all led songs as part of our worship. Then Anthony Franklin preached the word of God in a powerful sermon entitled “The Prophet’s Edge.” Click here to listen to the sermon and read the notes.
Other campus and teens who opened their hearts to the church include Ashley Pearson and Christina Walsh. They both shared about what the cross of Christ meant for them personally. Then Maria Chiappetta sang “Would You Be Poured Out Like Wine?” as the church reflected on the incredible sacrifice that Jesus suffered for us all.
After service, one of the visitors summed it up. “I’m convicted. What else can I say? Yeah, let’s study the Bible.”
