RULE OF CHRIST….a Christian life equipping tool for everyone!
 
Rule of Christ is a process for working through conflicted situations based on the scripture of Matthew 18. All of us run into conflict, whether it was created by a misunderstanding, or misinformation, we can all use help to better navigate through the rough time. Wouldn’t it be great to have a step by step Christian life tool for working through these difficult issues?! We invite ALL adults of the church to attend this two-hour training. This individual, family, work, school, and church training will better equip you for life!
 
Kay Roberts will be with us as a guest of the Annual Conference in order to lead us in understanding specifically how SPRC committees work well; and how the Body of Christ works well in general.
Please join us September 30, 7pm at the Racine Church. Anyone aged 14 and over is encouraged to attend. Those in leadership positions in the church are strongly encouraged to consider being involved in this event. The more the merrier. Anyone who wants to maintain good relationships will want to learn from this event.

There is always a need to fill the shelves of Channel One and the Stewartville Food Shelf.  With disaster victims needing help and increased numbers coming for food, supplies are always low. The Stewartville Food Shelf has increased numbers of people coming every month and not much on the shelves to give them.  Especially needed items include boxed dinners, pasta, canned meat, fruit, soups, cereal, and anything non-perishable.

Please help if you can. Every little bit helps.
