Dear SCC Families,
Attached is the September newsletter, and below are the announcements for this Sunday, Sept 5th. The newsletter includes some very special articles about the "Defining Moments" of this past summer ... most notably the dedication of the Joshua Caleb Ministry Center. And the summer months were filled with many missions activities and visits from our missionary friends from near and far. Our kids especially enjoyed VBS week with Mr. Hadfield, who was such an engaging, entertaining, and encouraging Bible verse expert from Australia.
With schools now fully back in session, all of our SCC ministries will resume the regular schedule of classes and activities. Please read the bulletin schedule and announcements and the events calendar in the newsletter to find out just how you can get involved.
May you have a restful "Labor Day", actually a day to be free of labor, to give thanks and celebrate God's goodness and provision through our work.
