The September collection is for HarvestCall local.  These funds are used for local needs and are not sent to HarvestCall.  Contributions can be given to Bro. Ryan Frank or placed in the special collection box. 

The following advice has been given by HarvestCall regarding these collections.

When HarvestCall was formed, there was a concerted effort to clarify the difference between local church outreach and that which was “beyond the capacity of the local church.” It is understood that the local church is the means God has chosen to represent Christ in its community. With the purpose of HarvestCall being “beyond the capacity of the local church,” we continue to encourage churches to move away from utilizing the phrase “local HarvestCall.” An alternative such as “local church outreach” would be more descriptive and accurate. Similarly, consideration should be

given to separating financial collections accordingly.

A few years ago we separated the financial collection but have not gone away from the HarvestCall name for local activities.  A new label/name for local activities and this collection will be considered in the near future.  If you have input or suggestions visit with Bro. Ryan.

The annual paint-a-thon house painting project will be this Tuesday, September 2 starting at 9 am.  The project will be held at 317 N. Patsy in Mediapolis.

A volunteer work night at the Fellowship Center project is planned for this Tuesday evening starting at 5:00.  This will be mostly hanging sheetrock.

There is singing this Friday evening at Prairie Ridge care center at 6:30.
