Read It & Reap
The Read It & Reap book club will meet on Monday evening, Oct. 11, at 7:00 in the JOY Room.
We are doing something a little different for this month only. Each person will bring their favorite book and tell us about it: why it’s a favorite; when and how they discovered it; and maybe how often they pull it out to re-read once again!
If you enjoy reading, come and join us this Monday and tell us about your favorite book. We have great discussion each month, as well as the best fellowship ever!
Call or text me, Barb at 419-680-2103, if you have any questions. Otherwise, I’ll see you Monday evening!

Upper Room Connexion Group
Our devotional group, Upper Room at SUMC, meets every Wednesday morning at 10:30 in the JOY Room.
This delightful group reads the daily devotion for Wednesday from the Upper Room Devotionals booklet and has discussion on it. We also look at other devotions from the week that we enjoyed or that seemed to speak to us throughout the week.
Come and check out this wonderful group as we have fellowship together. Call or text me, Barb at 419-680-2103, if you have any questions.

Bible Study with Barb
Bible Study with Barb will meet on Wednesday evening, Oct 13, at 7:00 in the Youth Room at the rear of the sanctuary in person, or via Zoom.
This is our last week reading and discussing our favorite Psalms. Come and join us as we share Psalm 91 and Psalm 103. If you did not have a chance to come and share your favorite Psalm, we will do this again after the New Year. Everyone enjoys reading the Psalms!
Call or text me, Barb at 419-680-2103, if you have any questions. I hope to see you on Wednesday.

***********************************
Our Next Study
Our next study will be on the book, Enough: Discovering Joy through Simplicity and Generosity by Adam Hamilton.
One of Jesus’ great parables was about the sower who cast seed along the ground. Some seeds grew, while others fell among thorns and were chocked out. In a culture where “enough” seems to have become a never-ending pursuit, Jesus’ parable remains incredibly relevant.
Join us for this 5-week study on becoming aware of what is and what is not “enough” in today’s world. Books are available. Call or text Barb to get your copy now.

Spirit Journey
The Spirit Journey Connexion group will meet on Thursday afternoon, Oct 14, at 1:30 in the Fellowship Hall.
We are learning about the Fruit Flies in our Faith, a delightful book by Annie Paden, filled with wisdom and humor. This week is all about peace and how we can all choose to rise above the struggles of our life, as we are reminded in Colossians 3:45, “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts…”
Each week is a stand-alone study of one of the fruits of the Spirit. I know you will love being part of this fun-loving group of ladies, which is open to all the ladies of the church.
Come and check it out! Call or text me, Barb at 419-680-2103, if you have any questions.

Our Financial Stewardship |
|
Message From the Finance Team
In September, as is often the case, the congregational giving was lower than usual. Coupled with higher expenses due to insurance costs (quarterly property, annual worker's comp, annual van policy) and our annual termite renewal, the Church has been left with a shortfall for September of $8,475. We wanted you to know the particulars so that each of you can consider your own stewardship as we move forward and we can hopefully overcome this deficit.
Thank you! The Finance Team

It is super easy. We want to encourage you not to go into credit card debt
but wanted to offer a convenient way to support your church.
