Celebration of Life
We invite friends and loved ones to gather to remember and celebrate the life of Sara Robinson. Calling hours will be held tomorrow from 4:00pm-6:00pm at Kostanski Funeral Home in Greenfield. The Funeral will be held Saturday morning at 10:00am at North Leverett.
Harvest Festival
Join us this Sunday October 12th from 1:00-3:30pm. We will have kids Sunday School but not adult classes. We'll eat soup together after church and get things set up!
Thank You!
We’d like to extend our gratitude to our church family for the encouragement and support you've given to the team going to Rivers of Mercy Children’s Home next week. (10/14-10/21). Our financial goal for support was $9,000 and the Lord has provided through your generous giving! The orphanage is struggling financially right now and any additional money raised beyond the expenses of the Harvest Festival and the projects we do will be donated to their general fund.
Please pray:
That we will be a help and encouragement to the staff and children.
That God will prepare the hearts of those who attend the Harvest Festival on 10/18 and people will hear and respond to the gospel.
That our team members will grow in faith, unity, and our understanding of Gods call to reach the nations for Christ.
For safety in travel and during our time in Juarez.
We look forward to all God has in store!
Thank you,
Bob and Linda Jablonski
