Christ Followers,
The rhythm for our Wednesday evening studies provides for a break during the Christmas season.

Everyone will enjoy extended family time for the entire Advent Season since our studies are scheduled to resume after the New Year on January 5th, 2011.
I can hear hear shoutin, clappin, and dancin!

Reformation Celebration
This coming weekend, our culture will give itself to all things associated with the dark side of Halloween.
However, on this same date back in 1517, Dr.Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses on the door of a Catholic Church in Wittenburg,Germany. By boldly doing so, he ushered in the protestant reformation period.
This monumental movement produced the character of Christ centered evangelicalism by emphasizing the supremacy of scripture, justification by grace through faith alone, and the doctrine of vocation. For this reason, the traditional church calendar acknowledges the "Festival of the Reformation" October 31st.
We will promote this counter cultural occasion by advocating the substantive doctrine that came forth from the heroic Luther. It was his convictional and confrontational courage that factually changed the course of human history.
In order to give adequate attention to "the doctrine of vocation", we will teach part 1 tomorrow evening during our Wednesday study and conclude with part 2 on Sunday morning.
Please prioritze being with us tomorrow evening since it is foundational to Sunday morning.
Here is a mere sampling of things we will learn in this two part series:
> What is the doctrine of vocation?
> Are the politicians running for election in November, promoting or demoting the doctrine?
> Do we have to work because of the first sin in the garden?
> Can you define the protestant work ethic?
> Is there such a thing as a Christian job?
> How do we vocationally love our neighbor?
>Will we have to work in heaven?

Messianic Believers In Israel
Shalom Saints!
As you know, we send monthly financial support to Avi & Chaya Mizrachi in Israel. Avi is the lead pastor of Adonai Roi Congregation and director of Dugit Messianic Outreach Centre in Tel Aviv.
Charisma Magazine reports, "Today, the number of Israeli Messianic Jewish believers is estimated at 12,000, with about 140 different congregations and home fellowships. God is birthing a new end-time movement of Jewish lovers in Yeshua that is becoming a prophetic voice to Israel as well as to other nations. This is truly a time to rejoice."
Please take a few moments and peruse Avi and Chaya's web site to get further acquainted with their ministry and remember to pray for them to continue to faithfully bear witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ among natural Israel.

NEWS FLASH!!!!! NEWS FLASH!!!!!! NEWS FLASH!!!!!
*Sunday Morning Relocation*
During our discussion about the opportunity to use the Agricultural Center for The Gathering, the representative kindly shared that the building had already been reserved for this coming Sunday September 10th and a later date in November.
The Gathering will therefore be hosted by Jason and Amanda Lawson this coming Sunday Morning. Since modifying our Love Feasts to the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month, I am sure the ladies will enjoy this time off from cooking.
However, we are providing Starbucks Coffee with doughnuts and allowing ample time for mutual fellowship when everyone arrives at 10:30. Now that's what I'm talkin bout!
Also, Norm Waddell will be ministering the word so this is sure to be an edifying "Lord's Day!"
Git-r-done Norman.
SHOUT!
