A Sacred Assembly: Another One Coming
We want to thank the church for supporting the call of having a sacred assembly last Sept. 6 from 10am-2pm.  Instead of having a picnic on that date, we decided to follow Joel 1:14: “Declare a holy fast; call a sacred assembly…”  Thirty six people showed up and spent time in prayer and meditation of God’s Word.  What a holy choice!

Watch out for another assembly in November.  We’re planning to have another one on Thanksgiving Day.  This time, fasting is in the morning and sacred assembly will start at 9am and ends at 12pm.  Lord’s Supper Celebration will be conducted and then the church will have Thanksgiving Lunch together.  Then dismiss at around 2pm for each family to have a thanksgiving dinner of their own.

Simple Budget and Planning Meeting
All church leaders and officers are reminded of the forth coming budget and planning meeting on October 30 from 10am-4pm.  Please prepare your activity plans with corresponding budget requests for better assimilation in our total budget and planning.  Please bring all existing written guidelines, policies your particular ministry has developed and followed for review, posting and filling purposes.  We are updating our record systems.

Body and Soul Cleaning This Saturday
Instead of meeting at Sis. Minda’s house for BODY AND SOUL, the WMU are requesting that volunteers will meet at the church building around 9am Oct.2, Saturday, as there will be a cleaning of the building in preparation for our annual Church anniversary that following Saturday.  Exercise will take the form of cleaning to upbeat music to make the chore more enjoyable.

July 18-20: Family Retreat
Rev. Charlie Chilton remains our Retreat’s main speaker.  Due to budgetary contrains we will have limited guest speakers/lectures to our plenary sessions.  Drinks and coffe served at the session hall may go away too.  But these will not take away any sense of joy nor fun in our gatherings.  Please take a look at your possible cost.  The rate per person is the same as last year.  The committee was able to negotiate that price last year.  Already that’s a big saving and helps for us all.

Some other information please see Retreat Com. Members: Sis.Minda, Sis.Josie, Sis. Tess, and Bro.Tirso.  Preliminary meeting of the committee will start next month.  Some people who will be requested to lead in some activities will be invited to join the meeting.
