September 22 - September 28
Chili Cook-Off – Sunday, October 19th during coffee hour. Come hungry and have some great chili and fellowship time. There will be a ballot box to vote. If you would like to participate, there is a sign-up sheet in the Narthex or contact Katherine Meyer at meyerhs2005@gmail.com.
Capital Campaign Fund - The purpose of the Capital Campaign is to raise money for painting the church, to get new flooring in Fellowship Hall, to repair drains outside Fellowship Hall doors, and to pave the ramp. Our goal is to raise $40,000. If you would like to give towards this fund, there will be envelopes in the Narthex to place your donation and please drop it in the offertory basket. Last week we collected $585.00. We currently are at $37,133.41. THANK YOU for your generosity! We are so close to reaching our goal!!!
First Fruits Change – The Mission & Outreach are supporting a new charity this fall. The Free Lance Star reported that Moss Free Clinic closed this summer, and the Fredericksburg Christian Health Center (FCHC) took on 500 Moss patients. The FCHC staff is known to share the Gospel with its patients. The additional workload increased FCHC operating expenses. We judged that the Brisben Center was well supported by other donors and that our monthly giving (an average of $266 a month) would be a blessing to the Gospel centered FCHC. Therefore, we have dropped the Brisben Center and are supporting the FCHC.
Altar Flowers – The 2025 calendar is in the Narthex. We have 1 SPOT OPEN on October 5 & 26. We have 2 spots open on October 12 & 19. New Pricing: $45.00 for 1 vase and $90.00 for 2 vases. Thank you for supporting the Altar Flower Ministry.
Community Ministry Center Food Pantry – The Mission & Outreach ministry is partnering with a local Food Pantry to collect non-perishable food donations. If you would like to donate, there are bins in the Narthex to place them. Thank you for continuing to serve and meet the needs of our community.
