Together in Faith: “For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.” Matthew 18:20

This is usually understood to be “two or three gathered” in worship, but it can just as appropriately mean two or three gathered in caring for others. We probably know of many groups that gather to provide food, shelter, money, support to those in need. Perhaps we should consider joining such a group which is gathered in Jesus’ name.

Bishop's Committee Parishioner Liaison: Every week there will be an assigned member of the Bishop's Committee to serve as a Parishioner Liaison. We encourage parishioners to seek out this assigned member whenever there is a suggestion, question or concern. The liaisons will bring all comments to the monthly meeting of the Bishop's Committee to be addressed as appropriate. This week’s Parishioner Liaison is Bob Cheatham.

SPECIAL REQUEST: Bring your cell phones and tablets to church with you on Sunday, September 24, 2017 at 10 am. Yes, you read that correctly: Bring your phones and tablets to church! Something special to happen that day!

Project for the homeless: WE NEED LOTS AND LOTS OF PLASTIC GROCERY BAGS PLEASE! (Stores refuse to donate them). Members of our Cursillo group are crocheting mats for the homeless, using plastic shopping bags. We need bags and will have a box for that purpose in the Narthex. Anyone interested in assisting the group in the making of the mats may contact Monica Larsen at 480-621-8158 or mlarsen498@aol.com.

Devine Diners: Hello current and hopefully potential Devine Diners. It is almost time to reassign the smaller groups. So...If you would like to become a Devine Diner for the fall, please contact: Carolyn Morgan at gcmorgan41@aol.com or 817-266-8016. Remember we meet about once a month at someone's home, a restaurant or wherever the host selects. Please consider joining us. If you are a current Devine Diner and unfortunately cannot continue with us for any reason, please advise Carolyn and she will remove you from the fall participants. Hoping to have several new people sign up and enjoy the fun and fellowship.
