Sunday Seminar on Ringing the Handbells - Sunday, September 22nd
 
Have you ever wanted to try ringing a handbell? Do you think learning about the history of handbells would be ap-PEAL-ing? Have we got the event for you! Please join Christian Ed on 9/22 immediately following the service for their September 2019 Sunday Seminar hosted by Shrine & Michelle Hickey. No prior experience or music-reading ability required! Lunch will be served. Please sign up on the action table and we look forward to seeing you there!
 
 
 
Healing Service - Sunday, September 29 during 10 a.m. worship
 
The healing service is for anyone that would like prayer lifted on behalf of themselves or another person. The laying on of hands and/or the anointing with oil will be offered. How wonderful it is to know that we can come to Christ with our cares and concerns and find healing and peace in him.

Thanks to Brian Tricoli for sharing his wonderful talent by playing several pieces for us for solo handbells.
 
 
Deacon Michelle Hickey did a beautiful job leading us in worship and delivered her sermon on Laity Sunday:
Laity Sunday focuses on the celebration of the ministry of all Christians, especially those who aren't ministers of Word and sacrament. It offers a chance for members of all ages to pause and consider their own unique calling to ministry within the community of believers.
 

 
Second's After School Program
We covet your prayers for the grand opening of our After School program on September 17.  We are creating a warm and welcoming place in which the youth (5th and 6th graders) of Hackensack can grow academically and socially.  If you would like to volunteer, please contact the church office.

We remember and give thanks for those members of the church who have gone before us to be with the Lord. We are comforted, as the Scriptures remind us, that both in life and in death we belong to the Lord. (Rom. 14:8).
 
 
We pray that God will make complete the union of our departed ones and Himself, and that we might one day share in the same eternal communion. We call to remembrance those members of the church who departed since we last observed All Saints Sunday:
