We still need two more participants. Today is the last opportunity to sign up. Questions? See Zelma. Bless Our Sunday School Teachers – Our Sunday School teachers work tirelessly as they instruct our children from God’s most excellent and holy Word. Often this means that the teachers themselves must forego sitting under the teaching of the Word. We would love to have 4 or 5 teachers willing to substitute teach just one quarter in children’s Sunday School so that our teachers would have the opportunity to attend one Adult Sunday School elective this year. Please see Pastor Steve if you would be interested in helping. Small Groups – The small groups ministry of Grace BFC exists to provide environments where intentional disciple-making can take place and genuine Christian community can be experienced and developed all to the glory of God. In our small groups, we seek to encourage one another to grow in love for the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, for the Church and for the lost. If you would like to join a small group, see Pastor Steve. Be an Encouragement to Our Sister Church in Adams County – We hope to bring a work team to our BFC Church near Gettysburg on September 23rd (rain date – Sept. 30th) to help with outdoor painting. Most of the painting will be higher than ground level and require the use of ladders. There is a sign-up sheet on the narthex bulletin board. See Caleb Moyer or Pastor Steve if you have questions. Mission Trip to Sierra Leone - November 12-26, 2017. Bob Finley & Pastor Josh are headed to Sierra Leone, West Africa. Please be in prayer for them and the three others on the team, Bob Cash, Dan Lalone, and Hillary Lalone. If you have any interest in joining them, don’t delay, talk to Bob today!
