Habitat for Humanity
On Monday, October 3rd, 2016, Habitat for Humanity joins with our partners around the world to rededicate ourselves to recognizing the basic right of everyone to have adequate shelter. Habitat for Humanity asks everyone to join together as one global network in communicating the message that every one of us deserves the opportunity for a better future and that a decent place to live can remove barriers to opportunity, health and success that might have been part of a family’s life for years, and in many cases for generations. World Habitat Day is an opportunity to put God’s love into action and bring people together to build shelter that can lead to strength, stability and self-reliance.

Adult Small Groups
Now that Sunday School is beginning, it would be a great time to start-up some adult small groups as well. Does anyone have an idea for a small group topic they would be interested in attending OR is anyone interested in leading a particular small group? These small groups may be held during the Sunday School hour, in the evening or in the daytime. If you have any small group ideas, please contact either Sara McLane or Eileen Kramer. Thanks!
