Hi All,
I can lead the discussion about Job in the Bible study class in Annex II on
Sunday, Oct. 12. However, I need someone to take my place as a greeter. Is
there anyone who would love or even like to be greeter?

Scripture texts for worship this coming Sunday, October 12, 2014:
1.. Job 23:1-17
2.. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
3.. 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 - If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of
angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I
have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I
have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may
boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
Sharing of Joys and Concerns from Sunday, Oct 5:
a.. Clayton - Hannah is an AmeriCorps worker helping with a Texas literacy
program here in Austin. The program has initiated a new effort called PALS, a
coach parenting program and is short on volunteers to staff the program. The
difficult launch has added a significant load to Hannah's work as she
transitions from AmeriCorps next month and looks for other opportunities in the
Austin area. The PALS program especially needs bi-lingual volunteers.
b..

c.. Dama - thank you for prayers for her grandchildren. Eddy Senior's two
young adult children from Belize - Eddy Junior and Shahirie - have been able to
come to Round Rock and live with him after months of waiting.
d.. Stacey B. - her friend/coworker, Anna, is waiting results of tests for
possible cancer.
e.. Peggy - her mother needs 24/7 care and Peggy has been able to find a
capable person to assist for several days during the week.
f.. Michael Shirk - his son who has been in an eating disorder treatment
program in California has been uncooperative with the treatment and is being
discharged. Michael is struggling how to respond in the most helpful way.

Remember the Benefit Concert this coming Saturday, October 11, 2014, 5:30

http://storymanmusic.com/waltzing-alone/ They are also performing at the

cousins) to help raise funds for Trinity Child Development Center as it begins
its 50 year celebration.
Dama Torres and family will also be serving empanadas at the event and
selling bulk orders of her internationally acclaimed Belizean tamales. The

Torres family.
Storyman is the songwriting partnership of Kevin May and Mick Lynch. Both
hail from Ireland and first achieved success as members of the band The
Guggenheim Grotto. They released their first album as Storyman, entitled This
Time Round, on November 12, 2013. They will have CD's and other items for sale
