What a great time for the sermon topic, "Listening to God: A Solid Foundation," as we celebrate Heritage Sunday. We will be recognizing those steadfast congregants who have been members of First Christian Church, Second Christian Church,
Third Christian Church
,
Stanford Christian Church
, or
University Christian
Church
for
50 or
more years
. This sermon will be the last in our "Listening to God" sermon series. Rev. Jim Warren will preach from the familiar and inspiring
Matthew 7:24-27 passage. Jesus tells about two houses: one built on rock and the other on sand. The former survives the storm, and the latter was destroyed. Our lives - and our church - need to be built on the solid foundation of Jesus Christ.
Jim will preach at both
the 9:00 traditional service and the 10:15 One and All service. In the 9:00 service our gift of music will be presented by the Chancel Choir. For the 10:15 service, the One and All Band is rehearsing some favorite tunes.
Invite a friend to come with you Sunday!
Around 10:00, just after the 9:00 service, we will continue to celebrate our Heritage Sunday honorees with a cake reception in the Centrum. See you there!
Gifts for Another Table:
Please remember to bring an item for the Salvation Army this Sunday. We can finish strong and help many folks who depend on this charity. Needed items include: rice & rice dinners, pasta of any kind, pasta sauce, Hamburger Helper, dinner meals, cereal, mashed/boxed potatoes, and canned fruits and vegetables. Thank you!

Faithful Stewards: I am the Church. We are the Church.
It's time to value ourselves and our brothers and sisters in Christ. It's time for self-care as faithful stewards!
Bill Robitske, Reena Rhoda, and Pete Whitmer shared with us last week the importance of our church as family to them throughout their life's journey. Our church family has a significant impact to its many members. That unity proves to be a great part of our strength.
We are the church. It's time for self-care as a church.
