Travel Mercies
Gretel is on vacation to Florida with her daughter for a week. I guess she is having a fun time. Here is a photo she sent me yesterday:

Dennis & Teresa Brannon are on vacation as well for a month. Travel mercies to them and to others who are on the journey whom I am not aware of.

Worship Team Meeting
The Worship Team will meet the second time at the church library next Tuesday, September 27th, 4:30PM. If you are interested in improving our worship experience, you can join us.

Choir Rehearsal
The choir rehearsal will be held on Tuesday, September 27th at 7PM (instead of Thursday).
Allen & Jennie Woods are going to Seattle to visit Alden and Grace. Thank you for your cooperation.

Cleaning up the Former Choir Room
ALL CHOIR MEMBERS are asked to help Jennie do a Post COVID clean up of the former choir room & the choir loft-mostly filing music and moving some items to the basement.  If we all work together, we can have the moving stuff done in 1 hour and the filing in 2. Saturday, October 8th 10AM.

Taking Photos
Pastor Je (that is me) is working on the Pictorial directory. Please let pastor Je take your photo if you have not yet. Or you may submit your own photo as well.

Pastor Je's Installation
Pastor Je will be installed by the Presbytery of Wabash Valley onto the First Presbyterian Church in Lebanon, IN. Technically, he is not yet installed as pastor in this church. The installation is Sunday, October 9th, 4PM. Rev. Luke Choi will come from Cleveland, OH to preach, and you will see many other clergy members from the Presbytery (including Rev. Alan Griffin). 

Little Dresses for Africa
There is a box in the church library in which you can put fabric or outfits for LDFA. There are also patterns available to use for sewing clothes for the children; they are attached to the poster-board sign leaning behind the box. These resources will remain available for you for the duration of this project. Donations are accepted and encouraged to assist in purchasing fabric, t-shirts, and other sewing supplies. Please make checks out to the church, with “LDFA donation” added to the memo line. Questions? Contact Debbie Crouse at 224-622-6383. You can access the LDFA website at: littledressesforafrica.com

New Activity to Begin
On Saturdays from October, the church begins a new activity / programme for senior exercise. From the late morning of Saturdays, we will gather to have bodily exercise, brain exercise (some sort of brain tease), and Bible Study. A lunch will be provided, so we need to know the number of people who are willing to come. Please let pastor Je (je@lebanonfpc.org) know if you are coming. 
Gretel and pastor Je will lead the Bible Study every other week. Pastor Je will have topical Bible study. Gretel will use a book from the “Bringing the Bible to Life” series, published by Zondervan. The book is entitled: “Psalms, The Cries of the Faithful”

Church Licence Plate
Pastor Je now has a front licence plate saying "Mitchell Presbyterian Church." He will make a licence plate for FPC Lebanon. This will look like this:
Lebanon FPC-Licence Plate.jfif

It is an aluminium plate (not plastic) and scratch protection coated. The price is around $18. If you want this licence plate on the front bumper of your vehicle, please let pastor Je know.

Sermon Series
The 101 Series finally ended. If you want a compiled 101 series booklet, please let pastor Je know.
From the coming Sunday, the new sermon series begins--the Genealogy of Jesus.

Prayer Chain
For prayer chain, please contact Phyllis Duff at 765-482-1485 or raduff2@att.net.

101: Thou Shalt Doubt (Sunday, June 12th, 2022)

Image
OT Lesson: Judges 6:33-40 (CEB) Some time later, all the Midianites, Amalekites, and other easterners joined together, came over, and set up camp in the Jezreel Valley. Then the Lord’s spirit came over Gideon, and he sounded the horn and summoned the Abiezrites to follow him. He sent messengers into all of Manasseh, and they were also summoned to follow him. Then he sent messengers into Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali too, and they marched up to meet them. But then Gideon said to God, “To see if you really intend to rescue Israel through me as you have declared, I’m now putting a wool fleece on the threshing floor. If there is dew only on the fleece but all the ground is dry, then I’ll know that you are going to rescue Israel through me, as you have declared.” And that is what happened. When he got up early the next morning and squeezed the fleece, he wrung out enough dew from the fleece to fill a bowl with water. Then Gideon said to God, “Don’t be angry with me, but let me speak j...

Walk with Me

OT Lesson: Genesis 17:1-7, 15-16 (CEB) When Abram was 99 years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am El Shaddai. Walk with Me and be trustworthy. I will make a covenant between Us and I will give you many, many descendants.” Abram fell on his face, and God said to him, “But Me, My covenant is with you; you will be the ancestor of many nations. And because I have made you the ancestor of many nations, your name will no longer be Abram but Abraham. I will make you very fertile. I will produce nations from you, and kings will come from you. I will set up My covenant with you and your descendants after you in every generation as an enduring covenant. I will be your God and your descendants’ God after you. God said to Abraham, “As for your wife Sarai, you will no longer call her Sarai. Her name will now be Sarah. I will bless her and even give you a son from her. I will bless her so that she will become nations, and kings of peoples will come from her.” NT Lesson: Roman...

God Doesn't Care

Image
OT Lesson: Isaiah 25:6-9 (CEB) On this mountain, the Lord of heavenly forces will prepare for all peoples a rich feast, a feast of choice wines, of select foods rich in flavour, of choice wines well refined. He will swallow up on this mountain the veil that is veiling all peoples, the shroud enshrouding all nations. He will swallow up death forever. The Lord God will wipe tears from every face; He will remove His people’s disgrace from off the whole earth, for the Lord has spoken. They will say on that day, “Look! This is our God, for whom we have waited— and He has saved us! This is the Lord, for whom we have waited; let’s be glad and rejoice in His salvation!” NT Lesson: Mark 16:1-8 (NRSV) When the sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint Him. And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. They had been saying to one another,  ...
