Majesty, Trunkin, Journey House Paint Night
Dear Church,
Majesty is a word I rarely use, except when my breath is taken away at scenic vistas or brilliant night time skies. It is a fitting word to describe God.
“Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth.” (Psalm 8:1, 9)
Yes, God is breathtakingly awesome.
You can see His genius in the fall leaves and in the change of the season.
Take a moment now to look around and take in His greatness and glory.
Now, how incredible that the one who made all this is the one who made you and me. And He didn’t just create humans but “crowned them with glory and honor” (Psalm 8:5). To be crowned is to be given authority and dignity.
As we go through this “Be the Church: Serve the World” series, let’s keep this in mind. We’ve been given authority to serve as Jesus serves, to love as Jesus loves. “Crowned with glory.”
My Prayer:
Jesus, when we consider you, we remember you were crowned with a bunch of thorns. Your love took you to death for us. Would you lead us, your church, to love with that kind of depth. What a gift that you are mindful of humanity, that you look on us with care. Now, help us return the mindfulness and care to those in our homes, workplaces, schools and neighborhoods. May your majesty be on display in your church the way it is in the fall leaves.

A Message From Our Church Board Secretary
This is Pastor's Appreciation Month. We love our pastoral staff, ministerial staff and their families! Over the next few weeks, please reach out to as many as you can and show them your support and appreciation in tangible ways -- meals, gift cards, gifts, and other remembrances. Ministry leadership is an often thankless role; let's do our part to make sure our staff know that we care.

Responding To Hurricane Ian
The love of Christ compels us to help with the clean up.
Will you join the team in Florida?
We are tentatively planning another a trip for Oct 30-Nov 6. The cost for travel and lodging is covered by Stillmeadow’s Disaster Relief Fund. Sign up on the form at www.stillnaz.com/hurricane-ian.
Will you support the team financially and prayerfully?

Help For Refugees
The New American Welcome Center (NAWC) is helping many refugee families (read how they're helping here) and can use two kinds of assistance. First, they are looking for children's winter coats (0-18). Second, they are looking for full or queen size mattresses and bed frames so these families do not have to sleep on the floor. If you have coats, you can bring them to the church compassion closet (outside the family life center). If you have a bed, please contact Deb Deztel at the NAWC at (717) 819-0180.
