I hope you are well and blessed this day after a wonderful weekend! Yesterday was a great day all around (other than the Steelers losing)! Rally Day kicked off with joy around this place and our Church picnic was well attended by many hungry church goers! We had enough food, didn't we?
Our worship time centered around the new series "Three Simple Rules." Yesterday's focus in Sunday School and worship was on "Do No Harm" If you have been reading the Three Simple Rules book given to you by your church last month, you will have read that Job calls us to examine the way you live and practice your faith. To do no harm is a proactive response to all that is evil- all that is damaging and destructive to humankind and God's good creation, and ultimately destructive to us. Job also calls us to be on guard so that your actions and even your silence will not add injury to another of God's children or to any part of God's creation. We are called as Christians to bring healing instead of hurt. I'd like to thank Jeremy Peffer for his imagination and video of "Butler Dad." It is a spoof off of the now famous "Pittsburgh Dad." Jeremy's video's have given us a taste and will continue to give us a taste of these three rules in "Butler Dad" fashion! Great work on the "Do No Harm" video!

Yesterday, Stacey Burk, Staff-Pastor-Parish Relations Chair presented each of our paid staff a token of our appreciation for all the hard work and commitment they have to Christ Community! We thank our paid staff for their love and dedication to Christ Community and to our Lord Jesus Christ!
Kaylee Aul shared her gift of signing with music in our 11:00 a.m. worship. Thank you Kaylee for your talent!
Yesterday's picnic was just incredible! Thanks to Linda Carrigan for her leadership in this picnic and to the picnic planning team! A few rain showers came and went, but the food, fellowship, music, "Laugh-In," ice cream, games and face painting were a hit! A special thank you to Kaleido Kone Creamery for donating the ice cream and cart for us! Kaleido Kone Creamery Also, we would like to thank Christine for her great talent of facepainting and balloon twisting! A great crowd from our church attended!
