ANNOUNCEMENTS AND UPDATES
If you are hospitalized and would like a visit from one of the deacons, please contact the church office at 563-568-2981 or fpcwaukon@gmail.com. Due to privacy laws, the hospitals do not routinely notify the church when a member is admitted, so we have no way of knowing that someone is hospitalized unless you or a family member contacts the church. However, if you ask your nurse to contact the church, she or he can call us with your permission. In the case of a medical emergency, you may contact the church directly at 563-568-2981.
Our annual Fall Harvest Dinner will be held Wednesday, Sept. 23. It will feature ham, cheesy potatoes, baked beans, coleslaw, dinner roll, and a pumpkin bar. It is a drive-through event only, beginning at 4:00 p.m. in the church parking lot. Each meal is $15, and proceeds will go toward the necessary repairs at the manse. Thanks to the Presbyterian Women for organizing and coordinating this delicious drive-through event.
A Bible study series for September entitled “Childhood Stories” begins on the 9th at 1 and 6 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall. Led by Elder Lee Ann Knudson of the Faith Formation and Outreach Team, each class will be a stand-alone study. Please read the assigned passage beforehand and jot down your questions and observations, and bring your Bible to the class. You are welcome to attend either one, and both classes are open to teenagers and adults.
