October newsletter

This week!

We will be performing Fire, Weather, and Serious Threat drills in the children's classes TONIGHT from 7:10-7:25. We make our drills calm and easy! Please have your child attend, if possible.


Our Christmas program is Dec. 14th! We will gauge interest for special parts THIS SUNDAY, Oct. 5, so be sure to have your K-6th grader attend Shartel Kidz Club during second service!

QR practice links will be coming to the Shartel app soon!

Mark your calendars

Join us on Nov. 2 for a night of encouragement and fall fun! Bring a hot crockpot of your family's favorite soup to share. We will enjoy soup, fall desserts, pumpkin painting, and festive games, as we encourage one another in this season of change! Leave with a Team Family Powerpak of devotionals and activities to equip you for discipleship at home.
Serve the Lord, and our community, as a family! Help us pack Thanksgiving groceries for families in need at Sky Ranch. We will meet in the gym following second service. Pizza will be served. Please register so we know how much pizza to buy!
 
Be on the lookout for the full list of food to donate in the bulletin and Shartel app!

Ministry leader spotlight

Name: Shamra Hicks
Where do you serve in Shartel Kidz? I serve in the 2-5 class on Sundays at 9:00, and I teach the 5th-6th graders on Wednesday nights!
Why do you serve in the Children's Ministry? - Serving in the Children's Ministry began as me trying to find my place to serve in the church and turned into something I love doing. I love my kids!
What are some of your interests outside of church? -  If I am not at church or Celebrate Recovery, I am with my sons & their families, or taking care of my grandchildren. I go hang out with my friends when our busy schedules align, and I am currently finishing up my Master's in Leadership and will start my Master's in Family Counseling, hopefully in January!
