Friday 10/5 Due Date for Returning the Talents
and Ministry Interests Survey - We are making a concerted
effort to create a process that will allow needs to be known to a central point
of contact and identifying individuals to help with those needs. The next
step includes identifying your talents and ministry interests. As a way to do that, we would appreciate if
all members and friends of the Roanoke Church would review the Examples of
Talents and Ministry Interests form and fill out the Talents and Ministry Interests
Survey. Both were emailed. If you
did not receive the email or would like a paper copy they are located in the
back hall. Please email or mail the
completed survey to Bro. Matt Feucht by October 5th at mfeucht@acskylines.org or
1703 County Road 1150 N, Eureka, IL 61530. This information will be kept
in a database, and when needs arise, Sis. Marjorie Bertschi will use the
information to mobilize the church to help.
All Church Small Group Bible Study - The Sermon on the Mount - To keep us all
growing in the Word, a small group Bible study on the Sermon on the Mount is
being planned for this fall. Each member and friend of our Roanoke church
is encouraged to participate, and we hope to begin in early October. This study is 12 sessions long, with each
session lasting approximately 1 hour. If you are unable to participate in
a church small group, we encourage you to complete this study with an
established small group, a friend, a spouse, or on your own. In conjunction
with the small group study, we are also planning to have our Wednesday night
topical Bible studies cover the Sermon on the Mount. Beginning in
January, the ministers will cover topics from this section of scripture to
further our understanding of these great truths. Again, we hope that many will participate in
this joint effort. You may sign up for
the small group Bible study by completing a form located in the North Hall or
by calling or e-mailing Bro. Jeremy Knepp.
Friday
10/12 - Loving Shepherd Ministries Benefit - LSM will be hosting a
meal and charity auction for the vulnerable children of Haiti and Ethiopia at
Five Points in Washington. The meal and Silent Auction start at 5:30PM
with the Live Auction starting at 6:30PM. Items are still needed. This year, we
are requesting all bakers to submit their best desserts for a special desserts
section of our Silent Auction. If you would like to donate an item and/or
dessert, please contact Sis. Brittany Schwind at 309-678-8205 or brittany.schwind@gmail.com.
The auction is a wonderful evening of fellowship and enjoyment while
raising much needed funds to help the world’s most vulnerable children. There

to attend.
