PA Deutsch Fersommling.
Welcome back. Hope everyone had a wonderful
summer. Time goes by so quickly, especially in the summer. It always seems
there are just not enough hours in the day for all we want to do during
the warm summer days. This is just a reminder about the Pa. Deutsch Fersommling.

opening our sessions on a very light note. I will be showing a movie that
has just been purchased for the club. The title of the movie is "The
Amish

discussion the future dates of the club also that night. Ich Guck aermschtlich
dich tsu Sehne." "I look earnestly you to see."
FALL
BIBLE STUDY
This
fall, the Bible Study being offered is a study of the 10 Commandments.
We all know what happens to one who falls off a building or some other
great height. The law of gravity carries with it a severe penalty. It
is one of the laws of nature. If you fall you get hurt. Unfortunately,
some of us have to try to change nature only to find out that the laws
of nature are true whether we want to believe them or not.
God's laws, the 10 Commandments are the same. We can ignore them and think
we can change them, but they still will be true. These commandments were
given to us for our protection not to take the fun out of life. In this
study we will be looking at who these laws were for, do they still have
meaning today and do we really understand them.

This
Bible study is offered on:
Wednesdays at 1:30 PM, at Lehigh Center
Wednesdays at 3 PM, at the church
Thursdays at 7 PM, at 408 Mountain Village Drive, Macungie, PA

Adult Study Group
Living Free-This will be a time for us to look at and discuss those things

Salem Praise and Worship
"I will sing of your steadfast love, O Lord, forever,
With my mouth I will proclaim your faithfulness to all generations."
We want to extend this invitation for you to be part of our Praise and
Worship Team. If interested, contact Pastor Sherry or myself (Ruth Houck).
Come and join our Musical Team at Salem. We have an enjoyable time practicing
and serving the Lord is wonderful and rewarding. Practice is the 2nd and
4th Sundays of each month after morning worship. We would like to expand
this team to include vocal and instrumental talent. This would be wonderful
and add to our worship.
In Song for Christ,
Ruth Houck
Preaching
Series on the Beatitudes
Starting Sunday, September 27, we will be starting on a journey of following
the healing choices our Lord laid out for us in the Sermon on the Mount.
The series will be a part of a program by Rick Warren and based on a
book by John Baker. John asks us "Do you ever eat or drink more calories
than your body needs? Do you ever feel you ought to exercise but don't?
Do you ever know the right thing to do, but don't do it? Do you ever know
something is wrong but do it anyway?" Well, welcome to humanity.
All of us have some kind of 'hurt, hang-up or habit;' that we need to
get rid of."
Let's join together for the next eight weeks and see what Jesus was trying
to tell us during the Sermon on the Mount. Let us sit at his feet once
again and listen to those lessons that were handed down through the ages.
