CHURCH COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS (September)
> Our annual Trunk or Treat will be Sunday, October 22 (3 – 5 PM). We will need at least ten cars decorated for this event. If you need some ideas, we will be pulling down from the church attic some of the VBS supplies which can be used as a theme to decorate your cars. If you don’t want to decorate your car, we will need other people to serve the donuts and cider inside the church, as well as others who can meet and greet our guests. There will be a Trunk or Treat prep meeting on Sunday, October 8 after church.
> We will be looking into a method for people to give offerings through an app on their phones. When we get this service set up, we will provide more information.
Nobody wants to talk about the ugly subject of pornography, but it is unfortunately something which more people struggle with than we’d like to admit. Many people, perhaps too ashamed to confess their struggles publicly, can find relief through this online source which will help them fight their fascination and/or addiction to pornography. Take a look at https://conquerorsthroughchrist.net/ . Feel free to share this website so others can be freed from the snares of porn.
Services are uploaded to YouTube each week. Feel free to share the videos. Here is the service from Sunday, September 24: (199) Good Shepherd Novi, Divine Service, September 24, 2023 - YouTube

SHARE THIS POST!
We desire as many as possible to rejoice in the Gospel which we proclaim and confess. Share the information from our weekly email blast, links to our web page, and even to the pastor's blog to let others know that we have a space in our congregation for them!
