If you have any items that you took a card for to give to our families, please bring them in this Sunday. We are still in need of a couple of used/refurbished laptops. Also, the family with four children needs a BUNK BED. Anyone have one lying around? Let us know!

THANK YOU to everyone who has donated so far! The families came in this week to try on the items. Anything not usable by them is going to ROC Family Mission. Please pray for work and for childcare for the Ahmad family! If you have any questions, contact Robynlyn at 973-652-3878.

Are you an experienced or emerging leader in your workplace or the church? The Whetstone Group is a gathering where you can sharpen your leadership potential. This group meets bi-weekly on Thursday mornings, 7:30am-8:30am at the Perinton Wegmans beginning October 5. This year we’ll read and discuss The Advantage by Patrick Lencioni, comparing his secular leadership insights with biblical principles. You can sign up for this group here.

Our keynote speaker for our Missions Celebration weekend (October 13-15) is Paul Ewing. Paul and his wife Melissa Ewing are North American Baptist Conference Missionaries to Japan. Appointed in 1999, they arrived on the field in 2001, first attending language school in Nagano Prefecture and then moving to Osaka where they have served since 2003. Paul was associate pastor of a church, then lead pastored that church, before planting the Komyo Christian Church in 2009. The Komyo Church was fully turned over to national leadership in 2022 when Paul and Melissa returned to the USA for home assignment. Paul has also served as the Japan Field Director since 2010. The Ewing’s have three grown sons, Noah (Joy) 24, Jonah 22, and Elijah 18.
