If your children are in college (either locally or away from home), or a member of the family is in the service, or if you know someone in college or the service, and you would like them to receive a care package, please send their name and address to the Church Office by Thursday, November 20th. We want to send the care packages to the college students so they have them by or before their final exams, and to the military so that the packages will reach them before Christmas.

Please plan to join us for this fun filled evening. For more information call 304-455-1422. HELPING HAND We will be collecting cans of fruit to donate to Helping Hand for the month of October.

UNDIES SUNDAY If you forgot to bring your items for Undie Sunday, there is still time. Please bring in your donation, and place in one of the containers in the Narthex. PRAYER CORNER As we study today’s passage from Exodus 32, we become aware of several different points of view. First is the anger that God feels toward the Israelites, who have become corrupt and have turned toward false idols. As God addresses Moses, He says, “Your people” whom “you brought” out of Egypt. The next viewpoint is that of Aaron. He is the one who must face the impatience and increasing anger of the people that Moses left in his care. So, Aaron makes a compromise, a golden calf is made, and a festival to the Lord is held. Then we have the viewpoint of the people Moses rescued from slavery. They question, “Who is this Moses, anyway, and where is he?” Finally, we have Moses, himself, who dares to start a dialogue with God, reminding Him that these people are God’s people, begging Him to turn away from His anger. A key component in each of these situations is impatience and the imposition of blame. Ultimately, though, Moses proves his leadership in his conversation with God, which stops God from disowning the Israelites, His chosen people. The question for us today becomes, “Why are we impatient, and why are we quick to blame others for given situations that we might be facing?” God will not give up on us, nor should we give up on God. Loving Father God, forgive our impatience. We know that You are with us in all our trials, and that with You we are secure. Let us be the people You wish us to be, faithful and patient in our living. Amen.
