 EVERY THOUGHT CAPTIVE!
The Culture Wars are front and center in this year’s election! The
definition of marriage, the role of government, the debate over when life begins (and should end), the reliability of the media; and other issues are unavoidable. Where should a believer stand on these
issues? For the next 8 weeks, we will address these concerns from the pulpit. It is not the role of the Church to tell you how to vote, but we can help
you clarify your thinking and develop a Biblically informed worldview. Don’t miss this challenging series.

DODOMA SPONSORS
 Plan to stay after church one Sunday in early October for a short information meeting. We will get a report on our children,
including a video from this summer’s VBS/medical trip, recent pictures and updated biographies. Our 2 year commitment ends in December, and if you are thinking about continuing your
support, this meeting is a must! Togo’s sandwiches will be provided, so don’t worry about missing lunch.

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON STUDY HALL
There are 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high
school within walking distance of our church building. We have an opportunity to help some of these students with their studies. We also have several students here in our church
family we can provide extra help and encouragement. If you are interested in being a “tutor”, a chef, or can spare some time to help set up tables and chairs, fill out the tab on this bulletin by writing your name,
phone number, and “Study Hall” and put it in the offering bag or give it to one of the Elders. We will have a planning and “brainstorming” meeting soon, and are asking
for ideas, input, and commitments so we can start this “experiment” in November.

5. Dependable participation in the scheduled activities of the congregation.
6. Reliable service in a designated area of

SHOEBOXES!
November is just a couple months away when it will
be time to start packing shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child. It’s a good time to start thinking about what you’d like to send to children overseas. Start collecting pencils, crayons, paper goods, toys, hygiene
supplies, etc. GVCC will be supplying 100 plastic shoe boxes that will be decorated at an October Craft Night.
