Faith Formation Ministry                   
One Family Bible Class

Seminarian Nate McCarty will be leading the Adult Bible Class series, which will meet at the usual time.
  
Stewardship Sentence
Matt. 6:25, "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life." God is in charge. God is our loving Father. Put those two statements together and they spell the end of worry and anxiety. Yes, we will have crosses to bear. Yes, we will have difficulties. But through it all, our loving heavenly Father is in charge and He will carry us through. It is that simple faith, the faith of a child, that frees us from worry. And in the absence of worry, faith can step forward in bold action - and into the kind of generosity that can only operate in an atmosphere of trust.
Women's Tuesday Morning Bible Study
Please join our Women's Tuesday morning Bible Study as we explore the Fruit of the Spirit using the study guide "Living Beyond Yourself!" Whether you are new to Bible study or been at it for years we'd enjoy having you join us for fellowship, sharing and support. We'll start meet Tuesday, September 13 at 9:15am. Please contact Carol Froesel (822-1365) or Jeanne Clark (821-0522) if you are interested or have questions.

Thursday Evening Women's Bible Study
The Thursday evening women's Bible study will begin again on September 8 at 7:00pm. Usually we have met on the first and third Thursdays of the month; because of the Labor Day weekend approaching, we will have out study for this month on September 8 and 22. We will finish our study of I John during the next few months. We begin on Chapter 6 with the focus on I John 3: 11-24. A rich lesson on the standard that Christ places on love. If you are interested in joining in this Bible study, please let us know--a book will be ordered for you! All are warmly welcome. Please contact Cathie Albers (314-882-2033)  Join us at the church!
