Good Friday morning Church Requel!
We serve our neighbors a free, warm meal on the 2nd Saturday of every even month. Guess what? That works out to be tomorrow night!
I've talked with Sheri this week and she's right on top of things. She has big plans for a generous, healthy meal. She just needs our help setting up and cleaning up.
Volunteers usually only need to donate 2 hours of time. You show up at 4pm and you're usually walking out the door by 6pm. (We actually serve the meal at 5pm.) If you really want to be a volunteer hero, bring a dessert to share.
Sunday's Sermon: "T.I.M.E. In God's Word." Don't you just love it when special things happen at Church Requel? I know I do!
We have something special happening this Sunday! Brian will be bringing our sermon and he has chosen a GREAT topic: "T.I.M.E. In God's Word."
I have to admit that I've been privileged to see Brian's sermon notes ahead of time. Here's my admission - I'm just a little bit jealous I didn't think to write this one myself!
Brian came up with the acrostic, T.I.M.E. to teach us how to spend MORE TIME in God's Word. We'll consider two questions. First, why should I spend more time in God's Word? Secondly, how do I do it?
Brian will share some great practical tips that will be easy to remember and apply. I'm excited for how we will all walk away with some great teaching! Why don't you commit right now - even before coming to church Sunday - that you will put to work at least one new idea for the next week. Then, Sunday, it will be just a matter of picking out which good idea you'll apply.
Want a head start? Want to be as privileged as me and check out Brians notes? You can! Right here: http://bible.com/events/700348.
Pizza Party! - After Church Sunday.
Our Missionary class teachers challenged our teenaged students to memorize Scripture with the promise of an after-church pizza party. They succeeded! Yay!
They would like to invite the entire church to join them in the celebration this Sunday. If you can, plan to stick around to congratulate our young people and to eat a few slices of pizza.
OctoberBlest - Oct. 25th - 31st.
Church Requel will join together with many other local churches to offer OctoberBlest to our city. Remember our joy this past Spring during the March of Prayer? We are hoping for something similar during the final seven days of October.
Each day of that final week of October there will be four worship events offered by four different churches throughout each day - early morning, midday, right after work, late evening. Look for an updated schedule this weekend at Church Requel.
Come when you can, leave when you must. No pressure to attend all of them. We hope that our faithfulness will unite us and help us to stand before our Lord together as Godsfield.
For those who like to plan their calendars ahead of time, Church Requel will host Tuesday, October 29th at noon. We hope to have a schedule of all the events from all the churches available soon.
Community Night Of Worship - November 1st
Our week long OctoberBlest will culminate on Friday night, November 1st - "All Saints Day" - with a Community Worship Night. This free admission concert of worship music will take place at Freedom Ridge Church, 2200 Bedford Blvd., Ontario, Ohio at 7pm.
The community night of worship will be led by worship leaders and musicians from Freedom Ridge, Church Requel, Grace Church, North Woodbury Alliance, Gateway Church in Wooster, and Berean Baptist Church. Wow! Yes, our own Brandi, Trish and Missie will be worship leaders for that night. Mark November 1st on your calendar as a "must-see" event!
Love you all much! Thank you for your faithfulness to Christ and to His church! Pastor Mark
