Doin' God's Work -- Harvest Drawing Near

Another month zipping past us! Harvest is drawing near for some. What if Jesus declared "Harvest Day" in our lives and He asked us to gather up the yield of our everyday choices for this past year? What would you have to offer Him? May we reap what we sow, and have a bountiful crop to offer God. Give God the first yield every day; He wants the "cream of the crop." HE deserves so much more!

The Lord's house is taking a new look and soaking in a big coating of paint. It will look really nice when the job is completed!

Wednesday, 6 p.m., we congregate to praise and to give back a small portion of time He's given us this week; it also refuels us to continue on the Mission He calls us to do for His glory.

Sunday was Children's Sabbath; what better time to start teaching children to worship? Our future is in their hands, so let's get them started by knowing Christ loves them. There are many ways to reach out in the community to them.

A busy week with "Make a Joyful Noise Wednesday." The children are learning a lot about God's love in song and having a good time. The leaders are building up their faith and reaching out to them. May God bless them for doing God's work!

"Seeing gray in a black and white world" study for the next four years. Laura Wideman is leading this in Ravenwood UMC 2 p.m. Sunday.

Grant City board meetings 6 and 7 p.m. October 24th. October 31st, there will be no "Make a joyful noise" as it is time to prepare for the Lord's Acre Sale bean dinner/bazaar. It will be held November 3rd.

October 31st is the Ravenwood Neighborhood Outreach and their fall dinner will be November 2nd.

Sheridan UMC will hold their annual Election Day Bean Dinner and Bazaar at City Hall on November 6th.

There are many ways to serve God in our community. May God direct our paths as we give thanks for the many blessings He's given us. See you in church!
