Deacons: The Deacons will meet this Wednesday, Sept. 1
at 7:00 PM.
Council/Consistory: The Council will meet
this Thursday at 7:00 PM. The Consistory meeting will follow the Council
meeting.
Catechism: Catechism classes will
begin on Monday, September 13. The Consistory has decided that all the
Monday afternoon classes will meet at the same time (beginning at
3:00pm). Elder Mark Engelsma will be teaching the beginners class (grades
1-3), and Elder Jay Kuiper will be teaching the juniors class (grades
4-5). Pastor Eriks will be teaching the seniors class (grades 6-7) and
the three evening classes. Because the afternoon classes will meet at the
same time, there will be no need for monitors at church, as long as parents can
pick up their children promptly at 3:45pm. The catechism materials and
class lists are available today on the table in the fellowship hall. If
you have any questions or concerns, please contact Pastor Eriks.
Lord's
Supper:
Next Sunday evening will be preparatory with a view to the administration of
the Lord's Supper on September 12, the Lord willing.
Family
Visitation:
The fall family visits begin this week using Psalm 119:105-120. The
elders ask that you read the passage before your scheduled visit. May the
Lord use these visits to encourage us in our walk with God in our homes.

Church Family
Birth: Jordan and Alyssa VanBaren were blessed this past Wednesday with the birth of
a son, Evan John. Evan was born about three weeks early, so he may have
to stay in the hospital a few extra days as a precaution. Otherwise, both
Alyssa and Evan are doing well. We give thanks again for the precious
gift of covenant children.
Our Sick: Mr. Dallas Parks was
discharged from the hospital on Thursday, resumed his radiation treatments, and
returned to Tendercare. With the blood thinners
he was given, the blood clot has improved and they will keep an eye on
it. We give thanks to God for the measure of recovery He has given to Mr.
Parks and for His sufficient grace that He has given to Mr. and Mrs.
Parks.
Thank You: Mr Bodbyl would like to thank those who gave him a birthday
card for his 90th Birthday and also thanks for the cookies (don't know where
they came from).
Societies and Committees
Hudsonville
Women’s Bible Study will begin September 15, with the daily lessons beginning
September 2. Study sheets are available

please sign-up by September 5 to be included in a group.

willing to serve God and the church by taking over Derek VanderVeen’s
position in making CDs. Anyone
interested please contact Rich Feenstra.
Catering Committee: There is a wedding
on October 8.
Please consider helping with setting tables, kitchen work, clean-up and/or
waitressing. Thanks!
Evangelism
Committee:
The Evangelism Committee, with the approval of the Consistory, has placed
in the pew racks laminated cards with the order of worship on them for
visitors. Although the order of worship is on the back of the bulleting,
visitors may not see this or get a bulletin, so the EC thought it would be
helpful to have these cards available for visitors. May this remind us
also to welcome visitors to our worship services and help them in any way
that we can (finding a bulletin, the nursery, the bathrooms, or the doxology in
worship).
Closer Look
The September issue of the Closer
Look will be distributed today.
