Sunday Bulletin — Oct 18

This Sunday, October 18, we begin a brand-new two-part sermon series: “What Happens When the Bottom Drops Out? Finding Faith in Times of Crisis.” From Mark 4:35-41 — Jesus calming the storm — the reminder for all of us is simple: Jesus is still in the boat. Join us at 4030 W Franklin Street in Bellbrook: refreshments at 10:00 AM and service at 10:30 AM.

Guests, we’re so glad you’re here. We would love to get to know you better — please fill out a guest card and place it in the offering basket, and if you have a few minutes, hang out with us after the service in the foyer near the Welcome Desk or in the Coffee Spot. Away this week? Follow Centerbrook Church on Facebook for updates and watch live.

A few notes for the family: Pastor Joe will share a brief update about Adam and Lindsey. There will be no Pit Stop this October. LifeWise is now meeting here on Fridays — please keep the children and workers in your prayers. And if you brought items for the garage sale in a tote, the empty totes are available to take home.

Coming up: our Rib Fest honoring Veterans and First Responders is Sunday, November 8 — begin inviting now. Then on Saturday, November 21 at 10:00 AM, our Pack & Pray Party packs the Operation Christmas Child boxes. Everyone is encouraged to buy items that fit in the boxes and/or donate $10 toward shipping; a list of suggestions and no-no’s is available Sunday morning. Plan now to join us.

Please keep our prayer list in your heart this week: John B, who needs knee surgery; John S; Gail and her daughter; Joy, Janet, and Joyce; and others with health issues — that God would do healing miracles in our midst, bring family and friends who are away back to Jesus and church this year, and fill His people and His Church with the Holy Spirit. Our outreach partner The Gospel Mission is always in need of food items for meals, volunteers to serve food, and toiletries — donations can be placed in the marked baskets in the foyer. To know Christ and to make Him known.
