“LET US RISE UP AND BUILD”
VOLUME 10
We want to welcome our guests and church
family to our services. We are glad you are here.
As we worship together, our prayer is that God
will be glorified, hearts will be challenged and
changed, and lives will be refreshed and
renewed. For our visiting families, we want you
to know that a nursery is available. We also have
a children’s church program for children
(through the third grade).

OCTOBER, 2016
Recently our family was able to go to Disney World. Each of our kids had
different reactions to the rides. Some loved the rides that went fast while
others loved the slower rides. There is one ride there that you sit in and it
takes you up and drops you. One of our children did not like this ride but
another loved it. At the end of the day we decided to ride this ride one more
time for the child that loved it. The problem was that the other child did not
want to ride it again but he did desire to ride something else. We made an
agreement, ride the ride that drops you and we would ride the one he
wanted. We get on the ride and it starts up and takes us to where it is about
to drop. My child turns to the stranger that is sitting beside him and says,
“Right up here it is going to drop. It’s not fun!” We got done with the ride
and my child said that it was not as bad that time. I asked him about his
comment and he said, “Yeah, I found the handle on the ride this time. That
made it better.”
He did not like the ride and even dreaded it because he did not have something to hold on to. Having something to hold on to made the difference. Life
can be scary and hard especially if you do not have something to hold on to.
But when you find that you can cling to God, hold on to Him and trust Him, it
will make all the difference in the world. He can give you comfort and peace
no matter what you go through. Isaiah 26:3 says, “Thou wilt keep him in
perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.”
When we trust Him, He will give us what we need.

Dear Pastors and Church Family,
God is so Good! This past week marks a year
since Dave’s cancer surgery. Every step of the
way, God has been with us. We thank Pastor
Waddle and Pastor Metcalf for the visits,
encouragement, and prayers. We are also so
thankful for our wonderful church family who
showered us with love, prayers, and many acts
of kindnesses. Praise be to God.
In Jesus’ Love,
Dave & Linda Wemmie

October is a busy month with quite a few “special” activities. Our
teachers are going to Michigan for the Tri-State AACS Teachers’
Convention on October 6 and 7. Please be in prayer for safety as they
travel as well as a good time at the convention and learning new things to
help in the classroom.
The RACE for EDUCATION is on Thursday, October 13th at 1:00 PM.
Plan to come and cheer on our students as they participate in the RACE
(or even walk, jog, or run with them).
Our kindergarten classes and elementary classes are going on a field
trip to an orchard on October 21. They always enjoy this trip (as well as
the teachers and chaperones).
The HARVEST of FUN is coming up on October 28th. This is always a
wonderful family event. Plan on attending. There is going to be many
things to do for ALL ages. It begins at 4:00 PM and ends at 6:00 PM.
The school and church could use a couple of laptops. If you can help in
donating them or even giving some money toward the purchase of these,
please let Pastor Metcalf of Lisa know.
