ANNOUNCEMENTS
October Calling Team: Please call Marcia J or Eric C with any special concerns or requests.
October Mission of the Month: CWS CROP Hunger Walk: Did you know that isolation is an underlying cause of hunger, whether it is in a rural village or someone who just isn't connected to others when they need help. When you support CROP, you will help those in isolation know that they are not alone.
Please consider donating to this mission today by:
· placing a check in the offering plate after the Sunday services.
· mailing a check to the church office at 3200 Delta River Dr., Lansing, 48906
· or by donating online at www.crophungerwalk.org/lansingmi, we are registered as Lansing Immanuel Community Reformed!
(Checks should be made out to ICRC, designating CWS/ CROP in the memo area. Please also include your envelope number if you would like this donation recorded on your end-of-the-year tithing statement.)
Community Trunk or Treat: We are excited to be hosting a community “Trunk or Treat” next Wednesday, October 28, from 6:00-7:30 pm.! To make this happen, we need lots of volunteers! Are you willing to decorate your vehicle and bring a bag of candy to pass out to the kids in our parking lot? If so, please contact Joey S or Carol C to let them know.
Thanksgiving Baskets: Praise God, we sold 55 baskets this year! We will be assembling these baskets in the Family Life Center after the service, on Sunday, November 22, and then delivering them that same day. If you can stay after church that day to help with either assembling the baskets, delivering them, or both, we would be extremely grateful! There is a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board in the Narthex. Please write down your name there if you are willing to volunteer. You may also let Joe E or Stacia know.
Having trouble with our Facebook Live Stream? While we are doing our best to improve what we can to smoothly stream our worship services, we sometimes encounter issues with Facebook Live. If you lose your feed, don't panic! The complete service will be shared on our Facebook page immediately after the service. The service will also be posted on our website in HD every Monday.
Text Alerts: We now have a new tool at our fingertips to help keep you up to date with what is happening here at ICRC. We are going to be using text alerts to keep you informed. The alerts will come from (517) 888-7088, please note that although you can respond to these messages when they come, they go directly to our office email, so they are not seen right away. If you would like to receive these alerts, but have not provided us with a mobile phone number, please contact Stacia in the office, and no worries, if you do not text, you will continue to receive phone calls when communications are necessary.
Your Leaders are so thankful for your fervent prayers:
Staff: Pastor Tom G, Joey S, Darla L, Stacia W
