Book Club has a new Selection

The first Thursday in October, the book club at Middleville Wesleyan Church will be meeting. We picked another great book. Everyone puts a suggestion in the *hat* and a winner is chosen for us all to read. Some of them stretch our minds... hearts... and reason. But the discussions are so good - the Bible backed reason, the inspired Scriptures are our blueprint for reason.
We have learned so much, shared views, laughed and really thought about concepts, characters and historic figures.
This month we will be reading "Unveiled" by Francine Rivers. The Old Testament character Tamara will come alive and open that period of history for us to sift through.
Bring a box lunch, come sit and enjoy lots of intelligent conversation! We welcome you!

Pioneer Clubs Dinner

We are ready to set the year in motion! Pioneer Clubs is exactly the vehicle to get us moving. Clubs alive and well with our church and local children. The ministry of Pioneer Clubs cannot be measured with any simple gauge that I know of!

On September 25, 2009 Middleville Wesleyan Church will be hosting a kick off dinner. All proceeds will go toward the costs that are associated with the different clubs.

Please come out and support these youngsters as they grow in grace and the knowledge of our Lord. And don't forget the leaders... we grow too. I didn't know my heart could get this big.

Psalms 119:105 Thy Word is a Lamp unto my feet and a Light unto my path...

No better map for life than the Word of God!

Pioneer Club Getting Ready to Set the Place Jumping!

Dear Middleville Wesleyan Family,

Church family - October is our month to start! The Kick-off of another year of Pioneer club. We have a great team assembled once again who are getting excited about having the opportunity to teach our children ages 2 through high school about the Word of God.

We will be registering Pioneer Clubs members at the end of September before and after our 11 :00 service, as well as at the first club meeting.

There is a fee per child to help offset the costs of supplies that will be collected at the time of registration. It our desire that each child desiring this experience be able to participate so please contact Pastor Patchett if there is a concern about the costs involved.

Please let us know if there are any questions!
