SERMON PREVIEW
We’re continuing our look at the household of God this week in 1 Timothy 2:8-15. So far, we’ve seen a reminder to avoid false teaching and pray for everyone. In this week’s text, Paul gives commands for the proper conduct of men and women in the church. How are we supposed to behave? Join us Sunday as we find out!
We hope you will join us in person on Sunday at 10:30 AM or watch online.

AMNION'S ANNUAL GALA
Amnion Pregnancy Center's Annual Gala will be held on Friday, October 24 at Bracketts Crossing in Lakeville. The Gala includes powerful testimonies from two of our patients, inspirational messages, delicious food, and wonderful fellowship. Hear a testimony from a patient who courageously chose to go through the Abortion Pill Reversal process, despite the challenges and pressures in her life. Hear a second testimony from a patient who felt the pressures of having an abortion but through her faith and the support of Amnion, was able to choose life for her son. You can register for the Gala at helpofferhope.org and when it asks you for a table host click on "I do not have a host" and you will be seated at a table with available seating. For questions please contact Jessica at jessica@amnioncares.org or Jenny at jenjoecooper@hotmail.com. You won't want to miss this!
