Large print bulletins are available for the 8:30 service.

THANK YOU
We want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers for Stanton during his last bout with lung cancer. He finished his radiation treatment in late July and had a CT scan on August 30. Everything was okay so his prognosis looks good. Thanks again. Betty and Stanton Metcalf

CONGRATULATIONS
Florence and Keith Agan will celebrate their 67th wedding anniversary on September 12.



NEXT STEP CONFERENCE EARLY BIRD DEADLINE EXTENDED
You now have until Friday, September 24, to take advantage of the $45.00 conference registration fee. After that time the rate increases to $60.00 – but even then it is a great bargain: pre-conference ministry sampler, program displays, barbeque banquet, Paul Nixon’s keynote, evening praise featuring our puppet troops, Visual Scriptures, and one of our praise bands, Risen, plus a full day of workshops with lunch – what a deal! Check the website at www.nextstepankeny.com and join in to discover the next step God intends for each of us in our churches.

MEALS ON WHEELS
First United Methodist Church is scheduled to deliver meals to home bound & elderly in the Knoxville area through Knoxville Senior Nutrition Home Delivered Meals (Meals on Wheels) from September 20th to October 15th. Each day has four routes and they are currently providing meals to 59 people on a daily basis. It is ideal to have 2 persons per route, but a driver alone would suffice. Be a Good Samaritan to one in need, signup sheets are in the entry way outside the sanctuary west doors at the church. You may also contact the church office via e-mail or phone if you are interested in volunteering to help deliver meals.

EXPLORING OUR INTERIOR CASTLE
This is a 24 hour retreat presented by Formation Steering Committee, Board of Discipleship of the Iowa Annual Conference, and United Methodist Church on October 29-30 at America Martyrs, Cedar Falls, Iowa on Friday 5:00 p.m. through Saturday 5:00 p.m. Registration deadline is three weeks prior to each event. If interested contact Pastor Lane.

UMCOR Responds To Iowa Flood
After three nights of heavy rainfall in central and eastern Iowa this month, flooding forced hundreds of residents to flee their homes. The effects of the storms were compounded by those of the snowy winter and wet spring and summer that preceded them. UMCOR provided emergency assistance to the Iowa Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church to meet the needs of communities affected by the flooding. Please give to US Disaster Response, UMCOR Advance #901670, to support those affected by disasters in the United States.
