Pastor Paul's September 6 Newsletter Article

Here's my September 6 article for the Federated Flash, with lots of clipart!

Pastor Paul’s Letter to the Church at Weatherford

So, what in the world is Rally Day? It’s the Sunday School equivalent of “Back to School Night.” It’s a chance to meet new teachers, get into new classes, and find out what’s going on with Christian Education at The Federated Church. That’s really pretty easy, isn’t it? No big secrets. Nothing mystical. No big to-do’s.

What makes this Rally Day special is the many offerings this year. The Seeker’s Class will be studying “Grace” by Max Lucado. A new class for adults will be doing a video study in the Library. Of course there will be youth classes, and for the first time in years we have a confirmation class! Yes, this is a thrilling time at Federated!

This Rally Day will also feature Ashlyn Dillon presenting information about her Mission Trip to Africa during worship. She will be bringing a multimedia presentation so come ready to see and hear about the work the Lord is doing there.

Finally, that evening at 5:30, we will have a Potluck Supper! Bring your favorite covered dish or try something new and see how we like it. And please bring some school supplies for the school teachers here at Federated. It is estimated teachers spend over $500.00 per year out of pocket annually out of pocket for their classrooms. Let’s help make a dent in that. Then we’ll see what we can do about having the Cowboy’s game playing here so nobody has to worry about that either.

The weather forecast right now looks sunny and mild, so let’s get together Sunday and have a bang up time! This week’s gospel reading will be the Parable of the Lost Sheep (Luke 15:1-10). Don’t make me come looking for you…

See you in Church, Paul
