Greetings to the friends
and family at Superstition Foothills Baptist Church,
We are officially in the fall season. It may not look like it or feel it in the east valley of Arizona, but a glance at the calendar affirms that September 22 marked the beginning of Autumn. We can expect the weather to cool off considerably in the weeks ahead. But things are heating up for us as a church in the month of October. Here are several opportunities for you to get involved in reaching out to our community with the love of Christ. Saturday, October 4, 8 am - 12:30 pm we will be hosting a Blood Drive for United Blood Services. Contact Sharon Wylie (467-9823) or Mariann Jeffrey (227-4012) about open slots to donate blood or for ways you can help on that day. Sunday, October 5, from 11 am - 2 pm we will be handing out 9 volt batteries for smoke detectors, Bibles and tracts in the Bashas' parking lot during their Fire Safety Promotion. We did this last year and were invited back to do so again. Pick up an extra package of batteries and drop them by the church (when you give blood on Saturday)! If you would like to help in the distribution on Sunday, contact Bob Brook (288-3178). Friday, October 31, 6:30 - 8:00 pm is our Fall Festival. We still need people to help with games that evening. And we can always use more candy so if you are shopping, pick up an extra bag and bring it to the church. Heather Woodward (218-7407) is the person to contact for more ways you can help. The apostle Paul wrote to Timothy centuries ago, "be ready in season and out of season ..." to proclaim the word. As we welcome the freshness of Fall, let's ready ourselves to live the gospel out loud this season ... and every season. Blessings,
Pastor John |
