This Sunday we will receive a Special Offering: Hurricane Helene has left many areas of our country completely devastated.Organizations have been at work helping those who have been affected. Although we are far from the destruction, Jesus calls us to help those in need. A special offering will be received on October 6th and 13th, that will then be given to the Red Cross to provide the much-needed goods and services. If you would like to contribute to this offering, please use the special envelopes in the pews that are marked “Hurricane Helene.” Checks can be made out to the church and marked “Hurricane Helene.” Donations can also be made through the mail.

Monday Morning Bible Study
The group meets each Monday at 9:30 – 11:00 gathering around God’s Word. The current study is based on the work of Adam Hamilton: Seeing Gray in a World of Black and White: Thoughts on Religion, Morality, and Politics. Everyone agrees that America is polarized, with ever-hardening positions held by people less and less willing to listen to one another. No one agrees on what to do about it. One solution that hasn’t yet been tried, says Adam Hamilton, is for thinking persons of faith to model for the rest of the country a richer, more thoughtful conversation on the political, moral, and religious issues that divide us.
The group has been engaging in such conversations and recognizing that often there is truth on both sides of the aisle but we need to look to Jesus to find THE truth of how we should live our lives. Come and join this important learning experience.
Friday Night Fellowship – November 1, 2024, 6:00 – 7:30 pm
Our next Friday Night Fellowship will be held here at Forest Grove. The theme is “Halloween.”
Wear a “Halloween” costume – get creative! Since November is the month when we honor our military service men and women on Veteran’s Day, we will be putting together care packages for those currently serving in the Navy. Our dear friend, Amy Ruhf-Brien will see to it that these will be distributed to those serving with her who don’t normally receive greetings and gifts from family and/or friends. Included in the package will be Halloween candy. Bring your leftovers to add in (if you have any). In the next couple of weeks, a list of additional items you can donate for the packages will be posted.
Please note that all friends and family are welcome. It’s a potluck but we will be providing the main dish – sloppy joes!
