Angels. The image of angels tend to bring us comfort and peace.

They remind us of God’s presence in our world and in our lives. The

scriptures are filled with stories of the angelic messengers who bring

news of God’s action on behalf. Angels are also the warriors of

heaven who fight against Satan and his army. Led by the Michael,

the angelic host engages Satan at every turn until finally defeating

him and casting him forever into the

lake of eternal fire. Angels remind

us that God is very much at work in

our lives. His presence is brought

to us through His Word, through the

Sacraments and sometimes through

very special heavenly messengers.

big mission that needs our support, both in prayer and financially. Please give generously so

that God’s Word may continue to be taken “unto all the world.”

Some of you try to Duck out when you don’t have your anchor pin, but we will

have none of it! If you forget your pin we will start Quacking and ask you to

put up a quarter. Now don’t get your feathers all wet! The money will go to

help purchase flocks of ducks for needy families in third world countries. So

remember your pin or pay the Duck Bill!! The box is located on the

Hospitality Table.

We welcome into our family Jeffery David Harman through the

Down” It would be great if everyone present at the baptism could sign

it as a special memory for JD on his baptismal day. The book is

located on the table across from the hospitality center.

The Altar Flowers, Bulletins and the Bread and Wine are sponsored to

the glory of God by Matthew and Jacquie Harman in honor of the

Would you be willing to host a Bible Study in your

home? Pastor Tim is looking for a few homes to host a

small bible study. He will be the leader but just needs a

place for folks to gather. If you might be interested

please let him know. Schedules and times are wide

open at this point.

It’s time to jump, jump, jump those jiggles out, clap, clap, clap those crazies out and

sing, sing, sing our praises out on Wacky Wednesday. For those who may be confused

the Totally Terrific Thursday singers sang this song every week last year as one of their

opening songs. What will be different this year is that their praises will not be sung out

on Totally Terrific Thursdays but will be singing out once again on Wacky Wednesdays.

The time remains the same from 4:00-5:30 p.m. The place remains the same at Pastor

Kielley and Liz’s house at 58 Maple Avenue, Littlestown and the agenda remains the

same with bible study time, crafts, singing and snacks. Children ages 4 through

whatever are encouraged to sign up on the sheet found on the Hospitality Table. Choir

started this week. Kids, ask those who attended last year and they will tell you we had

a totally terrific Thursday time and this year we plan on having a WACKY

WEDNESDAY TIME!

this winter! Please help us with these special projects.

Sunday October 7-Blanket Sunday! We are going to be gathering new blankets to be shared with

those agencies that help those who will struggle against the cold of winter. Please bring your new

blankets to worship and we will gather and distribute them to those in need. We will accept gently

used blankets, but please bring them laundered and ready for distribution Remember we want them

to keep people warm so if they are worn and torn, they may have a better use.
