COMMUNION SERVERS

Susan Ehret and Cathy Cribbs


The Alpha Leadership Board will meet Sunday, Septembedr 13 at 5:00 p.m.. It is very important to be at this meeting if you are on the committee.


The Men’s Ministry Breakfast will meet Sunday, September 13 at 8:00 a.m.. This is a great time of good food and wonderful fellowship. All men in the church are invited.


Willene Stone will be leading a Bible Study on the Book of Colossians beginning September 16 at her house. The study will start at 1:00 p.m. Please R.S.V.P. at Willene.i.stone@gmail.com so she can be sure to have enough food and study materials.


We will be collecting Bibles for the homeless this month. Please leave them in the box in the choir room by September 6th so that they can be delivered on the 12th. Any version is fine.


The Bloomingdale Food Pantry is experiencing food shortages at the moment. Until September 9, we will be collecting canned goods and other shelf-stable items, including toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap. They are also accepting monetary donations. They prefer m,onetary donations so they can shop at Second Harvest, as the dollar buys more there. Please leave your check in the offering plate, but be sure to mark it Food Pantry. There will be a box in the narthex for donation items.


Join us for our

185th Annual Homecoming service

and covered dish meal on Sunday, September 20.

The service begins at 10:30 and Larry Stricklin will be bringing our message. Following the morning service, there will be a covered dish meal in the social hall.

Please invite past family and friends and come enjoy a great message, old fashioned hymns,

fellowship and food.


SEPTEMBER 2026

We do not want to remove anyone who still needs prayers, just for the sake of removing people. However, there are several on here that we do not personally know or have not gotten recent updates. If there is anyone on the list who has recovered, please let us know. Again, please do not remove people if they still need prayers! Our prayer life at Alpha is one of our strengths.
