Home League
This past week the ladies met for some serious planning! We got together to plan our programs, activities, and field trips for the next 6 months. We have such exciting things planned - and we want you to be a part of it! Keep your eyes open each week for our program announcements. It's great fun, and all ladies are welcome!
This Tuesday the Home League ladies are each bringing some "white elephant items" to be auctioned off as a small fundraiser for our Home League fund. Bring an item or two to add to the sale, but also be prepared to bring along your pocketbook so you can bring home a few treasures of your own!
Join us at 10:00 am each week for fun, fellowship, and the support of other women!
For more information, please contact Captain Ronalee or Julie Goude.

Sunbeams and Explorers
Explorers (boys aged 6-10) are continuing along on their "Olympics" emblem, and having a great time with sports! This week they will focus on the game of basketball. The Sunbeams (girls aged 6-10) are doing well on their "Bird Study" Emblem, and are loving learning about nature.
For more information about joining our Tuesday night programs, please contact Danny Tomko or Quinton Markham!

Girl Guards and Rangers
The Girl Guards (Girls, ages 12-18) are focusing on "The Sky Above" emblem, learning about planets in our solar system. The Rangers (Boys, ages 12-17) are VERY close to earning their entrepneur badge, even creating "fake" stock portfolios to learn how to manage and invest funds!
For information about any of our older troop programs that meet on Wednesdays, please contact Quinton Markham!

JR. YPL/YPL
Jr. YPL (grades 5-6)is rolling along with several new members, as they meet each week for devotions and time in our game room. YPL (Grades 7-12) actually left the property to play a rousing game of "touch it tag". The teens split into 3 teams, and drove to various places of business to find and "tag" items - everything from black VW bugs to a fire hydrant, to a crosswalk button, to a book written in German. It was great, hilarious fun!
We invite you to bring your pre teens and teens to our Wednesday night fellowship opportunities! Please contact Quinton Markham for scheduling and more information.

Nursing Home Visitation
This past week Captain Ronalee and Elvira went to the Discovery Nursing home to share 2 Worship Services that revolved around the idea that God knows us intimately - even before we were born! What a wonderful message to share, that we are all precious to the Saviour! More than 30 residents attended the Worship Services, with smiles, hugs, and prayers shared.
Join us when we visit Discovery Nursing Home again on October 18th. It's always a blessing!
For more information, please contact Captain Ronalee

Brass Band
The Jr. Band is already learning in leaps and bounds, preparing for its first performance in a Sunday Worship Service! We are excited about all this little group will accomplish this year - and it's open to anybody willing to learn! We have people of all ages involved....all that's required is that you want to learn to play a brass instrument.
We invite you to find out more about the gift of music through our Jr. Band program. In addition to musical training, there are also opportunities for small group learning and instruction. We meet in the Chapel every week at 4:30 pm. Don't miss out!

Songsters
Our leader has been travelling in Austrailia for the past two weeks, but is returning this week! On Thursday we will be resuming our singing rehearsals, and we look forward to the wonderful songs of worship that we will continue to learn.
We invite ANYONE who is interested in singing their praises to the Lord to join us in the sanctuary for rehearsals every Thursdays at 6:15 pm.

Bible Bowl
Bible Bowl is a competetive Bible memorization program, where teams comprised of young teens compete in championships for yearly bragging rights! Last year, the Vancouver Corps was named the Northwest Divisional Champions and went on to compete in the Territorial Campionships in Southern California!
This year's Bible Bowl "season" has begun. For the next few months our team of teenagers will be studying and literally memorizing the books of Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon. We're excited to see all these young people will accomplish!
For more information on this program, please contact Quinton Markham.

Exercise Club
Our Exercise Club meets in the Fellowship Room every Friday night at 6:30. For our first few weeks we focused on "Tae Bo", but beginning next week we will begin one month using the "Walk Away the Pounds" DVD program.
We invite you to join us every Friday at 6:30 pm for one hour of exercise (always at a beginner's level), as well as some laughter thrown right in!
For more information, please contact Deanna Markham.

Young Adult Fellowship
Even though we got kind of a late start with the bowling we seemed to have a pretty good time at Big Al's. Eight people showed up for bowling and only three of us attend the Corps regularly (That means there were 5 people who were first timers).
Keep praying for this ministry.

Sunday Morning Prayer Focus
At 9:15 Sunday morning we open the Sanctuary for a time of focused prayer. We begin with a few minutes of shared prayer, where we bring our own personal requests to pray over as a group. This is followed by a time of quiet and personal prayer, with a written prayer focus provided as a guide.
This week our focus asked us to consider that during those times when we feel the darkest and most lost, God is right there with us. He will never leave us to go through the shadows of life alone.
We invite you to join us for this time of prayer each Sunday morning, immediately followed by our Sunday School and Bible classes.
For more information, please contact Captain Ronalee.

Sunday Worship
Message
Today's sermon shows us that we need to watch for those who may to try to sway us from our faith.
1 John 2:18-19 - John shows us there is some urgency in our faith. We need to be careful to understand that there is some clock running, and when it hits zero, that's it. Rather, it's about the fact we don't know what each day holds for us. We need to be faithful to Him, and we will have the assurance of eternal life with Him.
1 John 2:19 - Here is a warning about those who may go out from us. Because of doctrinal differences or a personal conflict some choose to leave the church. A person who departs the church because of personal conflicts may be able over come that conflicy. But a person who chooses not to be a part of the fellowship because of their wrong interpretation of the Bible or doctrine, denies the truth and embrases the only thing left: lies.
1 John 2:24-25 - On the other hand, in our staying faithful to the truths that we have learned, we find eternal life.
Eternal Life, this should be the hope of every believer.
