Start planning for our annual Trunk or Treat…. We will be needing lots of participants (volunteers and decorated cars). Start bringing candy now—word is out that we put on a good party so we will need RIDICULOUS AMOUNTS of candy !  There will also be a prize for best decorated trunk !! Also, if you would like to be a part of Trunk or Treat, there are sign up sheets at the secretary's desk.  Many hands make light work !!

(Please put in bin by secretary’s desk.)

 

 

Times Are A Changing

It's time for the quarterly sign up for refreshments.  We have a new motto : Keep It Simple !  So the week before you are scheduled to do refreshments, you will receive a $50 gift card to City Market to buy "cookies, doughnuts, doughnut holes, cakes, and/or fruit" to be served on Sunday.  We would like to keep the goodies limited to these items and you can mix and match or do just one item.  Use the gift card and on Sunday you have refreshments, give the card and receipt to Dot Kirkham or put it in the box in the kitchen.  Hopefully this will encourage new people to sign up.  Thanks to everyone who has helped in the past and hopefully this will make things easier.

 

 

 

If you forgot to get your picture for our directory, we will be taking pictures of families and individuals  after church every Sunday in September.  Please take a few minutes to stop by and get your picture taken.  Deadline is September  28.  This Sunday is the last Sunday for pictures, come early or stay later to get yours taken.

MISSIONS UPDATES

The Aviator
(News from Sean & Rebecca Cannon)

Dear Friends and Family,


It is hard to believe that our furlough time in the United States is coming to a close. By the time you receive this letter, we will have arrived in Indonesia for our third (3.5 year) term as MAF missionaries and our second term in Indonesia. Our departure date is September 19. We have had an amazing time of refreshment, rest, and reconnection with loved ones. Our Indonesian work visas came in about a month later than we were hoping for, but the extra weeks have been so precious as we’ve had a few extra moments to spend with family and to check a few more things off our furlough bucket list. Much to our delight, we have even been blessed to see a little fall weather begin to arrive in the San Luis Valley of Colorado. We may or may not have had to make a few special trips to a certain coffee shop for Pumpkin Spice Lattes—a treat we often try to conjure up in the heat of Borneo, as we try to remember what autumn feels like back in our home state!

Thank you to the many churches and individuals who have blessed us with your time, gifts, prayers, and friendship. You ministered to us so well and we return to Indonesia encouraged and energized for the work and ministry God has for us there.


Love,

Sean, Rebecca, Brooklyn, Madison, and Paige   

 

Bill & Barbara Fair (InFaith)

 

Bill and Barbara have breakfast bible studies and many discipleship times during a "regular" week.  Bill preaches when called at different area churches.  They also have "Training of the Twelve" Rodeo Bible Camp in LaVeta and Mountaintop Retreat in Montrose each spring/early summer.  This spring was very busy with a trip to see Barbara's mom in Georgia. After that, they traveled to Maryland for an 'InFaith' mission conference, then arrived home over a month later.  Even though the "loop" was long, the fellow missionaries, friends and family they saw along the way refreshed their spirit.  Bill and Barbara made a trip to Denver to see Amy, their daughter, graduate this spring from Denver Seminary in Youth and Family ministries, with an emphasis on counseling .  Bill, Barbara and Amy attended a Young Life Camp in British Columbia, Canada this summer.  They learned a lot observing 360 teens for 7 days.  They are wanting to start a Young Life Club here.

Family is a major part of Bill and Barbara's lives.  They have seven "grands" that keep them busy,
but blessed. 
 "It remains our goal and mission to share Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ with those the Lord puts in our path.  We so appreciate your prayers for us and our family, as well as for Amy as she seeks what the Lord has for her next.  Your gifts and involvement in our ministry are blessings from the Lord for us.  Thank You !!"

 

Dear Friends of Haiti and COCINA,

As the summer comes to and end we anticipate with excitement, the start of a new school year.  Recently IU scholarship recipients arrive to start their first year of classes.  At the same time, returning college grads will begin work at the school and the clinic as they give back to their country and to their Lord for the many ways they have been blessed.  We are blessed as we see the vision for IU come full circle.  Give praise to God for his wonderful works!  There have been several occasions where we have been in difficult times financially and have asked for your help.  While we have not been able to build a reserve, we have met our operating budget each month since April.  We are still slightly behind on teacher's salaries but hope to make that up soon.  I do have some very good news.  We have received two matching gifts:  one $20,000 gift from SG Foundation.  This is the second matching gift from SG Foundation.  The first was for $10,000.  The private donation is for the general operating budget for the school and clinic.  The SG Foundation gift is for the school only.  So, with your help, we have an opportunity to turn $40,000 to $80,000 !  If the Lord so leads, would you consider participating in the match ?  If you decide to do so, please write "General Matching Gift" or "SC Matching Gift" on the memo of your check or noted on your on-line donation.  Luke 6:38.  May the Lord bless you richly !     Tony Iannetta COCINA Board President

Hujambo Rafikis!  August was an interesting month of...

Saying good bye to the last of our summer visitors.

We completely enjoyed these friends and family that brought us yummy treats, sweet fellowship and much needed assistance.  It's hard to say goodbye but we're praying some will return in January, Lord willing.
