CALL TO WORSHIP Cheri Chapin
Leader: What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
People: He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?
Leader: Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.
People: Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—
who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.
Leader: Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
People: No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord

September’s ‘MISSION MOMENT’
The Mission and Community Outreach Ministries Group continues to provide or identify opportunities for our NH church family to ‘be in mission’ within our community so that we might make Disciples of Christ. Being in mission means reaching out primarily to people outside our own church and sharing the love and grace of Jesus Christ. We are to put faith into action in a meaningful way whereby it gives hope, shows mercy, and uplifts those in our community who may be discouraged.
Be Part of Upcoming Mission Activities:
> Campfire Music Gatherings (Sep22 thru Oct 20): The Mission Team and the Worship Design Team will be hosting weekly times of fellowship and music around the campfire. Bring your own snacks (to share), drink, chair, instrument/voice, and a neighbor. Hope to see you there!
> Royal View Worship Service (Sep 15th): Consider spending time in this (monthly)special ministry.
> “Family Night Programs”: Our Family Night programs for this school year will be Trunk or Treat (Oct 31), Winter-Fest(January ?), Dinner & a Movie (March ?). Please consider helping out with one of these events, as we as a church family reach out to families within our community.
> “Fall Mission Activities”: The mission team will be supporting and/or coordinating these events…
*SEP 12-15: Retreat & Mission Trip
* SEP-OCT: Campfire Music Gatherings
*OCT 6-20: GHH Food Drive
* OCT 31: Trunk of Treat at NHGMC
*NOV 25: Thanksgiving Meal Cards (needy families, via
Mecosta Elementary School)
Let Matthew 25:35-36 and 1 John 3-18 inspire and lead you to share
your talents, skills, and spiritual gifts to grow in your Christian
walk…..Let’s put our faith & words into loving action through mission
work.
