“Then Philip began to speak, and starting with this scripture, he proclaimed to him the good news about Jesus. As they were going along the road, they came to some water; and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water! What is to prevent me from being baptized?” He commanded the chariot to stop, and both of them, Philip and the eunuch, went down into the water, and Philip baptized him.”
Church Family,
We’re blessed to have David as our academic year intern. Along with hearing from him here on occasion, we are making a list for Sunday lunches for him. If you’d like to be included on there or touch base with him in any other way feel free to let us know.
Our Charge Conference will be next Monday the 27th on Zoom. This is an individual charge conference with our district superintendent, so along with being our primary organizational meeting it will be a great time to share with him what’s been going on in our church over the past year. Anyone who’s part of our church family can feel free to participate. You can join at this link next Monday:

At the worship in that service we will consider:
1. How have you experienced the Holy Spirit at work in your church?
2. How has your church been challenged or found opportunity to live out your baptismal vows?
In the coming weeks I’ll cover some Methodist/Wesleyan topics. These will probably include:
Justification by faith
Repentance
Sanctification
Christian Perfection
Free Will
Conferencing
Scriptural interpretation
Good Works
If there’s anything you’d like me to cover regarding our tradition, or biblical/theological questions you’d like explored I’d be very happy to cover them midweek.
We’ve sent out invites for the baby shower October 10th. We’ll have some physical copies at church Sunday. If you need a new link/copy or would like a physical copy feel free to let me know.
I will be back on the porch Sunday from 1-3pm as well as Wednesdays. I’m going to work hard to keep these hours, and I’d love for you to stop by and chat.
Stone Soup Menus could use some backup drivers, not necessary to make a weekly commitment. Please let me know if you’re interested. If you’d like to get more involved with this miraculous ministry in any way feel free to reach out.
I’m trying to add more detail to our prayer list. If you’d like to add a prayer or some detail to a name or if I’ve forgotten anyone, feel free to email and I will update the list. Those of you worshiping online only can also call me with prayer requests if needed.
Our Google Meet will read Leviticus 4 this Sunday. This will continue our 6 weeks on Leviticus. We hope you’ll join us!
