Week of September 22, 2024

Bible Project:  As noted last week we're collecting to purchase a bunch of NLT study Bibles to provide to seekers, friends, and, yes, even members who'd like to be better equipped to read, study, and understand the Scriptures. If you'd like to help, we'd encourage you to consider prayerfully making a donation to support the purchase of additonal study Bibles. When making a donation, please add a note that your gift is given for the "Bible Project". The cost of one NLT Study Bible is about $32, but of course any amount you feel moved to contribute is welcomed and appreciated. Your support has already been extremely generous, with enough already received to cover the cost of nearly twenty copies.  Pastor Chris will be placing our first order very soon!
We thank you and we praise God for these gifts and the blessing that they will be to many people on their journeys! 

Baptism Sundays: On September 29 and October 27 we will celebrate four baptisms in our Sunday morning services! If you are interested in finding out more about baptism (or even if you just have some questions) speak to or email Pastor Chris.

Bible Discussions: We currently offer two weekly opportunities to spend time with the Scriptures and with friends! Join us before church at 9 am  on Sunday mornings in Trumbull Hall at the Etna church for a chapter by chapter look at Hebrews.

We offer a weekday Bible discussion series on Wednesday mornings at 10 am, also in Trumbull Hall. Join Pastor Chris and friends for deep and lively discussions sparked by the previous Sunday's sermon.

Both discussion series include coffee and time slot-appropriate snacks. Interesting and stimulating conversation is guaranteed. We look forward to seeing you at either or both!

Fall Etna Ladies Aid Rummage Sale: The Fall Etna Ladies Aid Rummage Sale will be Friday, September 27, noon to 6:00 pm and Saturday, September 28, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm in Trumbull Hall, Etna.
Donations of clean, seasonal clothing, jewelry, and small household items in good condition will be accepted at Trumbull Hall from Tuesday to Thursday (September 24-26). Please, no books, CDs, electronics or gym equipment.

The Choir Is Back!  Choir rehearsals have started, with Karen Burgess directing. Our first Sunday singing will be October 6. Anyone who loves singing is welcome to join!
