Re“Mark”able News - October 9

Noticios Re"Mark"adas (Anuncios en Español)

Together in Faith: Then Jesus asked, “Were not ten made clean? But the other nine, where are they? Luke 17:17.

The story of the ten lepers seems to be a classic example of ingratitude. But maybe it’s not really that… maybe in the midst of their excitement at being healed, only one of the ten was able to get his/her gratitude act together. In the midst of all that’s going on in our lives, we too can have a hard time getting our gratitude act together. Maybe now, right this moment, is a time for us to reflect on our giftedness and resolve to find a way of giving thanks.

Reminder: Next Sunday, October 16th, it is the Lion’s Den Volunteers’ turn to host our fellowship hour. Please participate by bringing something yummy to share, as well as assisting with the setup and clean-up before and afterwards.

“Trunk or Treat”: More volunteers are needed for drivers/cars and candy donations for our annual Trunk or Treat event scheduled for Saturday, October 29th from 3 to 5 pm. Please contact Jeanette Rogers at gramjayro@aol.com.

Transportation Ministry: As a church family, one of our first priorities is to ensure that our brothers and sisters in Christ are in our prayers and when the need arises, extend that love to a visit or even a ride. We are currently recruiting parishioners who are able to provide rides to others who would like to attend one of our many services but have limited or no means of transportation to do so. It is a great fellowship, deeply appreciated by those in need and allows us to grow deeper in faith and love with one another. Whether you are in need of a ride or may be able to provide transportation to someone in need, please contact Mayra Alvarado at 830-765-8088 and leave a detailed message.
