5. English Ministry Plans and Focus for September through December 2026

Throughout this year we have been planning our English ministries around our EM church theme – that of Stepping Out in Faith. As we enter the fall and move into next year we will continue to do so. The first part of the fall we will focus on reconnecting as a community of faith. We will hear reports from on September 27  and the Casa de Luz team (Next Sunday October 18). There are two joint services scheduled as well – Thanksgiving Sunday (October 11) which includes a baptismal service and our Missions Conference Sunday (October 25). Then in November we will have a short sermon series based on the book of Philemon. We are calling the series “Becoming a Grace-Extending Community.” Our adult Sunday school will be following the theme of Hope and Hospitality as we encourage you to step out in faith and practice biblical hospitality – that of welcoming the stranger. These classes will run over six weeks – September 20 & 27, October 4, November 1, 8 & 15. Mark these dates on your calendar and plan to attend as we share together in God’s calling on us to step out in faith and be a grace-extending church. There is more planned so keep reading your bulletin for further updates or talk to Pastors Don and Bill.

10. EM Sermon Series

From August 2 through September 6 we will be following a new sermon series, “God Didn’t Say That.” This series will tackle some common popular Christian cliche statements that really are not in the Bible at all. Furthermore, even though well-meaning, misapplying these statements as promises from God can not only lead to disappointment with God but a breakdown of a person’s faith and trust in God. The purpose of this series is to understand what God did not say as well as to clearly understand and apply in our lives what God has said. If we are to “step out in faith” – our theme for this year – we can only do so as we put our faith and trust in who God really is and what he is really like.

11. 9/13(Next Sun) Earthquake and Fire Drill after worship and Sunday School. Practicing “DROP, COVER, HOLD”. The Back(North) parking lot will be reserved for the drill.
