ICHS Senior Choir Cookbook
Big thanks to everyone who has sent in
recipes - it's starting to take shape! The plan is to have the completed
cookbooks available before Christmas. We don't have quite enough to
pull together a full book yet, so please keep sending them through the summer
months. Please email them to Monica at mmoedt@immanuelcs.ca, or give her a call at (403) 345-4174. Thanks
so much for your support - it's going to be a great cookbook!
Sunday
School -- We need a few more
teachers. We need two for Sunday School, and one for catechism. Please prayerfully consider this; and talk to
Tom S if you need more information.
THE 14th ANNUAL
Dear
Nobleford CRC
Just to update you on our African Missions
Project. We are at the $17,000 + mark,
out of $25,000, for a water well, girls’ washroom and to help some of our youth
for a missions trip.
We have set the end of November as the deadline for this project.
Thank you very much for your support,
especially at our Chicken Supper. People
from the Monarch Reformed Church were very appreciative of it and commented
about it. Thanks again
In
Christ, Pastor Bob Derrick

WORLD MISSIONS - Join World Missions in
Kenya: Volunteer teachers with elementary/secondary qualifications in Math,
Chemistry, Physics and/or Biology are needed in Kenya. Help a local school
offer strong academic programs with a Christian foundation that benefit students,
their families, and the larger Kenyan society. Visit www.crwm.org/serve for
more details.
GROUNDWORK - The Holy, Sinful, Church:
All humans are sinful—Christians as well as non-Christians. And yet the church
is holy. How does that seeming contradiction work for individuals or for a
local community of faith? The Aug. 14 Groundwork conversation, based on Acts
2:42 and passages from 1 Peter, answers those questions. Find a local radio
station or listen online at www.GroundworkOnline.com.
KIDS CORNER - Failsafe: Liz feels like a total failure
because everything is going wrong. But Lucille has the perfect solution to
failure. Find out what it is on this week’s Kids Corner. Then write to Kids
Corner at P.O. Box 5070, Burlington ON L7R3Y8 or go to kids@kidscorner.net for
your very own Bible study.
CRWRC East Africa Drought Response: - The worst
drought in 60 years is threatening 12.4 million people – an increase of 800,000
people in Kenya in the last week. CRWRC is supporting 100,000 Kenyans until
December with $7 million in food aid, drinking water, and animal fodder, and
has expanded into Ethiopia and Somalia. The Canadian government will match
(1:1) private donations received by Sept. 16, and CRWRC is eligible to apply to
this new CIDA fund. Through CFGB, CRWRC is guaranteed a 4:1 CIDA match towards
the food aid portion. To donate, call 1-800-730-3490, visit
www.crwrc.org/donate, or mail your cheque marked,
"CRWRC East Africa Drought Response," to CRWRC, 3475 Mainway, STN LCD 1, Burlington, ON
L7R 3Y8. Please pray for the millions who are facing starvation and have lost
all hope.

FROM THE BIBLE LEAGUE – India: Families are a vital part of a child’s faith life. From a Children’s Bible
Club Leader in India: “Lord Jesus, we are so happy to know that Mythri—and her whole family—have accepted you as Saviour through the Children’s Bible Club. We praise you
for transforming their lives! We pray that Mythri and
her family will be a strong witness for you in their community.” At the same
Club, “Kavi has been warned by his father to stop
attending. God, we pray that you will change the heart of Kavi’s
father and provide Kavi a way to keep learning more
about Jesus.”
Three students from an Adult
Literacy Classin southeast India have stopped
worshipping Hindu idols, and they are eager to keep learning about the Gospel.
We pray that the Holy Spirit will open the hearts of these three women as they
hear the truth about Jesus at their classes. Please pray for the children of
India!
When Chana,
an Adult Literacy student in India, gave her life to Christ, she eagerly went
home and told her family. Today, Chana’s husband and
two children have also found salvation in Jesus Christ! Praise the Lord!
Tufan, from India, has been attending a church plant in his area. He wants to
accept Jesus into his life but he knows that his family will reject him if he
does. Please pray that God will give him the strength and courage he needs.
Pray that Tufan’s family will experience the Holy
Spirit’s power, so they turn to Jesus as well.
An Adult Literacy student in
India named Lila was thrown out of her house by her family when she accepted
Christ as her Saviour. Now, Lila has taken refuge
with a family of Christian believers. Lord, we place this situation in your
hands. We pray that you will keep Lila strong in her faith and that you will
soften the hearts of Lila’s family. www.bibleleague.ca
