SEPTEMBER BBQ POTLUCK
With next Sunday being on the long weekend, we want to let everyone know that our BBQ potluck will be postponed to the following Sunday, September 13.

AN OMER OF MANNA
The resources on our bookshelf are intentionally selected to place good books into hands and homes by donation (in specifically marked envelopes), which is used for the purchase of more resources for the bookshelf. This month, we are featuring “The Humility Project” by Edward T. Welch, as he examines the pride that so easily takes root in our hearts and calls us to the Christlike humility that puts God and others before self. Welch helpfully reminds us that humility is not thinking less of ourselves, but thinking rightly about ourselves in light of God’s grace. Short, practical, and searching, this book is a helpful invitation to follow Christ, who “humbled himself” for our salvation.

MINISTRY HIGHLIGHT THANK-YOU
This week we want to publicly thank the Lord for our Elders and Deacons. Following the New Testament pattern, our elders faithfully provide spiritual care and oversight for our church family. Scripture tells us this office is worthy of great honor, so let’s make their labor a joy through our encouragement. We also celebrate our deacons, who follow the model of Acts 6 by managing our practical needs and stewarding our resources to advance the gospel. Please join us in prayer for these men this week. Ask God to grant them wisdom, health, and encouragement as they shepherd and serve the flock at City Chapel. ......................................................

NEW BUILDING, PRAISE GOD
Praise God for the blessing of our new building and the many hands that have come together to make this happen. Many strong hands came together to move everything in, handle details with accounts, paperwork, ownership transfers, etc. Just like moving into a new home, some things take time to get set up, and you may move the couch more than once as you figure out the best fit, but we have a new place to call home, and we give God the glory for it! May it be an instrument to further the gospel of Jesus Christ in our city.
