Our Mission: To Glorify God by making More and Better Disciples
From the Administrator
Hi everyone!
Welcome to this week's CRC newsletter! Here you will find time-sensitive announcements, events, service schedules, offering schedules, our prayer list and even a link to our bulletin "NEWS". I will send these out each week, typically on Thursdays. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out!
Have a great weekend and see you on Sunday!
In Christ,
Nancy - Church Office Administrator
Sunday morning text: Philippians 4:4-6
We extend our congratulations to Aaron and Rachel Schroeder to whom God entrusted a baby daughter, Hannah Claire, born on September 12. Hannah weighed 8 lbs. 15 oz. We rejoice in mother and daughter’s health.

Gideon Offering. Thank you so much for the very generous offering of $2,159 for Gideons International on September 8th. It will be used to purchase scriptures, sharing the Word of God with the lost and broken all around us. We distribute pocket testaments to students – middle school to college-age – in our area and to over 200 other countries. Your gift will provide nearly 1700 students with their very own copy of God’s Word.
Judy Hofmans brother, Kevin and his wife were involved in a truck accident in Iowa earlier this month. Kevin passed away and his wife suffered minor injuries. Please pray that God's precious promises will comfort this family as they mourn the loss of Kevin.
Tuesday morning Bible study will begin on October 1 at 9am in the Council Room. We will be studying “Finding God Faithful” by Kelly Mentor. Trace the path of Joseph’s life in the Book of Genesis to observe how God’s sovereignty reigns, even in our darkest moments. Learn to recognize when God is working during periods of waiting, trust God’s plan when life doesn’t make sense, and rest in the sufficiency of His presence in every circumstance. His provision is enough, His presence is constant, and His purpose is unstoppable. For more information contact Gayle Zonneveld at 269-7600.
