Sunday School Barnyard Challenge – November 8
Our Sunday school children have been invited to to raise funds towards an ELCA World Hunger Good Gift. Our goal is the raise enough for the cost of a family farm, $715. A family farm consists of a cow, a couple of goats, a dozen chicks, two pigs, and farming tools, plus agricultural training and marketing support.
On Oct. 18, our Sunday school children received an ELCA ‘God’s Good Gifts’ Barnyard bank box.- We are hoping that each child raises enough pocket change for 10 baby chicks $10 or $1 a chick, any amount will be greatly appreciated.
- All children are invited to bring their bank to Halfway Creek on Sunday, November 8 at the 10:30 service to place their change in a special “noisy drop” container.
- Thank you for guiding our children as they Reach Out to Share Christ with Christ to all!

Walking Together in Faith – October 25 – 9:15 am
He comes alongside us when we go through hard times, and before you know it, he brings us alongside someone else who is going through hard times so that we can be there for that person just as God was there for us. We have plenty of hard times that come from following the Messiah, but no more so than the good times of his healing comfort – we get a full measure of that too. –2 Corinthians 1:3-5

These are open meetings meaning that anyone can join at any time.
What to expect
- Devotion followed by a short discussion
- Sharing time
- Theme discussion – each time we meet we will have a theme relevant to the groups purpose
