Members and Friends of Austin Mennonite Church I will be away from the office this next week for my scheduled absence. Next Sunday Hugo Saucedo, Youth Minister for WDC/SCC, will be our guest preacher. Also, the adult study group will begin the Old Testament survey entitled 'God's Living Covenant' on Oct 15. These lessons are from Faith & Life Resources published by MC USA. We have 20 individual booklets for persons attending the class and two teacher editions. We will keep the student books at the church so they will be available each Sunday until the final session on Jan 7. The Education Committee has proposed that members of the study group volunteer to lead one or two of the discussions. Please look at the schedule and help wherever you feel comfortable. And we have ordered 24 pew Bibles to have available for occasions like this. I expect them to be delivered here next week. Please look for boxes that have been delivered to the church from IBS Direct and Christian Book Distributors. Daylight Savings Time will end early Sunday morning, Oct 29. On the Saturday night before, set your clocks backward one hour in order to be present for the 5th Sunday Celebration prepared for us by the Women's Group. May it go well with you. Sincerely, Garland Robertson ...always hold firmly to the thought that each one of us can do something to bring some portion of misery to an end
