Thursday: 25th commemoration of September 11th attacks
It's been 25 years since the 9/11 attacks on our country. Today, 100 million Americans are too young to remember the day that changed our nation forever. It is our shared promise to never forget that day and the innocent people who lost their lives in the attacks. This year, a new generation will learn about the unimaginable loss we suffered and the inspiring stories of bravery, service, and unity we witnessed.

Next Sunday: Rev. Kirk Gliebe
We have been pleased to partner together in ministry with Kirk for nearly 30 years! Kir's ministry is Devar Emet Messianic Jewish Outreach in Skokie. He directs the ministry there as well as being the rabbi for the Devar Emet Messianic Synagogue. Kirk is a Jew by birth and will be speaking regarding Yom Kippur which will take place the following week. It is the holiest day of the Jewish calendar.

October 25: Chili Potluck and Trunk-or-Treat
It's an annual tradition now! Jessica Powell is the coordinator and it's always a great time. It's hard to think about chili with the temps in the 90's but Jessica says that Fall is on it's way. We were able to meet some of our neighbors last year, so maybe we'll reach more this year!

November 1: Amanda King
It has been a joy for us to partner together in ministry with Amanda for over 20 years. Amanda serves with SIM (Serving in Mission) as a missionary in the country of Ecuador, and we first met her when she was raising support as she was entering the mission field.

A special thank you to Misty Green and Cathy Jeffries for organizing the funeral luncheon yesterday for Jackie's family. Such a blessing!

Friends, it appears I left off a very important item on Jackie's obituary. If you would care to make a donation in Jackie's memory please make it payable to Christ Bible Church. Our church uses memorials to purchase something lasting in the person's memory. We don't just throw the donations in the general fund. Once we receive the donations we will get together as a family to decide on an appropriate Memorial for Jackie. Thank you very much and please excuse my brain fog!

Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the passing of Jackie, who was precious to us for so many reasons.. While we grieve her absence, we also give thanks for the beautiful life she lived and for the countless lives she touched along the way.

Although Jackie wanted everyone to know Jesus and put their trust in Him, Jackie had a special calling to care for, teach, encourage, and love children. It was her passion to plant seeds of faith in little hearts and teach them about God’s love and help them understand that Jesus loved them personally. She understood that a child’s heart is precious and that the seeds planted early can grow into a lifetime of faith.

Jackie's earthly race is finished, but the legacy she leaves behind is still speaking. Every life she encouraged, every prayer she prayed, and every person she pointed toward Jesus is part of that legacy.

Today, we thank God for Jackie. We thank Him for the years He gave her to us, for the love she shared, and for the countless lives she touched. I have no doubt that Jackie heard the words, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” ~ Matthew 25:23

As we mourn, let’s remember her by continuing what she was so passionate about: sharing Jesus. May we love others a little more, encourage those around us, invest in our children, and never miss an opportunity to tell someone about the hope we have in Christ.

We can honor her memory by living with the same passion she had—to love people, to love children, and above all, to share the love of Jesus with everyone we meet.
