Renovate 2.0 Update #9
Have you tried the new elevator yet? It is complete and the glass door is installed. Many seniors and others with a need for transportation between floors are now able to reach the sanctuary and the lower level. What a blessing! Will you help us reach the goal of having it fully paid for by December of this year? We are over ¾ of the way there. See our temperature gauge in the lobby to see the weekly progress on the last quarter. We can make this happen! Please help pray for the completion of our Fundraising goal. As of 9/23/23, there is $770,105 that has been raised with $229,895 to reach our goal!

Something In Common Sabbath School
Sabbath Mornings 10:30 AM • Pioneer Room 141
Me and My Big Mouth series by Andy Stanley Ever said something you wish you could take back? Even if what you said was true, those words may have cost you a job, a reputation, or even a
relationship. The longer we listen, the more we learn, and the better chance we have of protecting ourselves from our own big mouths. In all our conversations, what if we didn’t aim to be right, but tried to make things right instead?

– October 21 – According to Code
– October 28 – Right Where You Want ‘Em
Everyone is welcome to join us from 10:30-11:30 on Sabbath mornings in Pioneer Room 141.

Michigan Radio Ministries
Radio waves travel in a straight line, making tall mountains a big problem. That’s why it was such a surprise to the technician at the small Adventist World Radio studio in Nepal, one of the most mountainous countries on earth, when a group of 30 people showed up one day saying they had been listening to the AWR programs—from over three mountain ranges away!
