“. . . that we may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine.” Romans 1:12

Greeters? “Knock, knock!” “Who’s there?” “Greeter . . .”

“Oh, you’re going to be a greeter for us this Sunday? Wonderful! Thank you so much!” We are needing a greeter for this Sunday! Please call the office (765-482-5959) or email Gretel (Gretel@lebanonfpc.org) and let her know if you can welcome folks this Sunday to the House of Worship. We appreciate your willingness, your kindness, and the generous sharing of your time.

Reminders: This coming Sunday is communion Sunday. This Sunday’s after-service-treat will be provided by Marilyn Boatright. The liturgist for the upcoming month of September will be Ralph Willard. The elder of the month for September will be Amy Morrison. Thank you for sharing your talents and your gifts with the body of Christ for the glory of God and the edification of the body.

Needed: October Liturgist. A few Midweeks ago I shared the need for liturgists for September and October. We have someone who has graciously stepped up to help with September, but we are still in need of someone for October. If you are interested and willing to help in this way, please notify Gretel in the office: (765)482-5959/Gretel@lebanonfpc.org. Office hours normally: 9-1, M-F.

“Smile! You’re on candid camera!” Actually that would be “Je’s camera”. Included in this email are a few photos from this past Sunday. Thank you to: Jennie for crafting a beautiful service; Budd for inspiring us with fantastic music; each of you for lending your hearts and voices in worship with us. Thanks be to God for the movement of the Holy Spirit, as well as His grace and mercy in calling us to worship and enabling us to come to Him in song and surrender. Following are links to the photos Pastor Je has taken the last two Sundays.

Rehearsals will be every Thursday from 6-7pm, with the goal of playing the first Sunday of each month. We can all look forward to more glorious bells ringing as we draw nearer to Christmas and Advent season. Until then, Ringers, start your bells; the rest of you: get ready for some beautiful sounds!

“One of the most comforting things about our God is that He is always there awaiting our prayers, even when we can’t find the words to express our deepest grief. . . . God already knows the deepest recesses of our heart, so going to Him only ushers us into the safest of all possible places we can be.” –Shannon Bream, The Women of the Bible Speak. “. . . in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” Phil.4:6.
