As our children's ministry continues to grow, we are in need of more volunteers. Our children's ministry is not only a blessing to our children but teaching our children is an absolute necessity for  making disciples of the Lord Jesus. There is a place for every believer to serve in ministry. Currently, we are looking for additional teachers and classroom helpers who can be a part of a regular teaching/classroom rotation. We need volunteers in classes up through 5th grade. If you are considering serving in this area, please contact Amber Dhanawade or the church office.

Our nursery is also expanding with new little faces each week! As our youngest members multiply, so does our need for loving, dependable volunteers to help care for them during Sunday services. If you would consider serving in the nursery, please contact Glenda Litz by calling the church office.

We have a wonderful opportunity to come alongside two families in our church community by providing meals during a time of need. If you're able to help, please use the Meal Train links below to sign up.

A few helpful tips:

• Prefer not to use Meal Train? No problem—just call the church office and we’ll get you signed up.
• Not a fan of cooking? Restaurant gift cards or delivery through DoorDash or Grubhub are great alternatives. (Just a heads-up: these services include fees and suggested tips.)
• The Bougher family lives a bit farther out in Spencer. If delivery is tricky, contact Melinda or the church office to arrange a drop-off at the church—we’ll make sure it gets to them.
• Questions? Reach out to the church office. We’re happy to help!

Thank you for being the hands and feet of Christ to these families!

Everyone is invited to join us for game night! Bring your favorite board game or card game & let’s have some fun! Families with young children will meet in the gym for games geared more for children. Families with pre-teen children & up, couples, & individuals will meet in the Fellowship Hall. Pizza will be provided. Please bring a side or dessert to share & sign-up so we will know how much pizza to order. Register here or at the Welcome Desk & let's have some fun together!

Randy and Dee Goodman have recently retired and are relocating to be near family. We are rejoicing with them in these happy times. The Goodmans have served abundantly well at Lifeway for decades. We would like to honor them and spend some time with them before they move. We will host a breakfast fellowship on Sunday, November 2, at 9:00am in the gym. (Sunday school classes will not meet.) The church will provide coffee, milk, and juice. Please bring a breakfast dish to share. (Ideas: Egg casserole, cinnamon rolls, muffins, fruit trays, biscuits and gravy, donuts, etc)

All teen girls & ladies are invited to the “My Favorite Things” party! Please bring 4 things: your favorite snack to share, your favorite Bible verse/passage, a favorite recipe, & your favorite thing (you cannot pay more than $20). Click here to register & for more information about the event - flyers are also available at the Welcome Desk.
If you have questions, see Melinda Von Bokern.

In grateful recognition of the men & women who have served in the Armed Forces, we will take a moment during our service to honor all veterans in attendance. As a token of appreciation, a gift will be available for each veteran as they exit after the service.

Join us for a special evening of thanksgiving & praise to our Lord! This heartfelt gathering will include scripture readings, worship music, & a time of reflection as we celebrate God’s goodness & faithfulness. We’ll be sharing a meal together with a cozy menu of soup,
sandwiches, & pie. Please sign-up at the Welcome Desk or here to let us know you’re attending & what dish you plan to bring & share. Let’s come together in gratitude & joy this season!
