1 September 13, 2012 WELCOME THE WEAVER BELIEVER FAMILY BAND THIS SUNDAY IN OUR MORNING SERVICES!!! The WEAVER BELIEVER SURVIVAL REVIVAL family band sings and plays in a unique mixture of bluegrass, southern gospel and country music. This has been helpful in bridging the gaps between all three different genres. Their banjos, guitars, fiddle, mandolin, upright bass and acoustic bass instruments allow them to move in the different circles with a high energy, fast tempo, toe tapping type of sound. With their tight harmony and one of a kind family group, it's sure to be a performance not easily forgotten. The Weaver Family travels all over the country ministering in churches and other venues. Over the past 10 years of their music career, the children's youthful appeal has turned into genuine talent, with several national awards to their credit ~ continually receiving return invitations wherever they go. Having been playfully called "the modern day Partridge Family" or the "von Trapps of southern gospel/bluegrass/country music," they continue to enjoy traveling and spending quality time together encouraging audiences of all ages by "Spreading God's Word ~ Family Style."

It seems Helping Hands is always in need of volunteers. On the one hand, we have some of the best volunteers ever. On the other hand we need more than ever. We have about 19 people who serve us well during the course of a week. This does not count our occasional help, like people who help us on food distribution day only. To staff the Thrift store and sort clothes and other donated items takes a lot of manpower. It is amazing how much we sort through in one week. Please prayerfully consider giving some time to help Helping Hands. Just call or drop by to volunteer. The thrift store is open Tuesday through Saturday. The free store is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays 9:00am to 1:00pm. NEXT ELDERS MEETING SUNDAY, OCT P.M. Brown Bag Mondays The Brown Bag bunch meets each Monday for lunch and conversation.

5 NEW BEGINNINGS SERMON SERIES CONTINUES! This Sunday, September 16 TH, Pastor Bob will continue the New Beginnings sermon series with a focus on Community. Last week we explored the story of Abraham and his response to God s call for his life. We have that same call from God! God wants our response to be just as faithful as Abraham s was. This week we move to Community, looking at the trials and tribulations of life as a community of God s chosen people. God never promised His people a rose garden, or a Garden of Eden. Paradise is what we make of our life on earth with God, with each other, in a community of believers. As we move through this life together, the one constant has been, is today, and will continue to be: God with us! That is our New Beginning today!
