Update for October 25, 2009


Last week in Sunday school, we talked about how God is revealing himself in our lives. The South Main blog, http://themainblog.wordpress.com, is a great source of stories that detail how God is moving in the lives of those in our congregation. It's full of lots of interesting articles about a variety of subjects by all sorts of folks at church, so check it out!

If you haven't already, please join our Facebook group! Also, we're tweeting regularly and updating the blog every week!

Announcements:
  • College Tour is next week, November 2-3. Stay tuned for information about when South Main is coming to a campus near you!
  • If you are interested in working for Passport summer camps in 2010, know that the priority deadline for staff applications is November 1. For more info, visit www.passportstaff.org.
  • Fall Festival (and the infamous college class Sausage on a Stick... yum!), November 15, noon, front lawn
  • Catch Up Double Up Sunday is November 15. If you have fallen behind on your giving, this is the week to catch up. If you're in a position to give more than you planned, even the smallest gift could make an enormous difference.
