Metro Midweek: This week we begin a new journey together as we study about what it means to “Abide in Christ.” I know you will be blessed by this study and I pray that you will make the time to come and join us as we discover together what it means to stay close to our Jesus. Church Sign Update: The church board voted to have our church sign refurbished and updated. The General Conference has issued new guideline regarding our global branding as Seventh-day Adventist and our sign is going to be updated to reflect some of those changes. The sign will be removed from our property and taken in to complete this work this coming Tuesday or Wednesday so do not be alarmed if you come in and the sign is gone. It will be back soon. If you have any questions, please contact Pr. Bentley. Join us on October 6th, @ 4pm for “Speaking as a Dragon? Defending Religious Liberty and Social Justice Today” at the City Temple Detroit SDA Church (8816 Grand River Ave). Special Guests include Seminary professor and author Nicholas Miller, the Public Affairs and Religious Liberty directors from the Lake Regions Conference (Edward Woods III) and the Michigan Conference (Laura Im), as well as various community leaders. Music will be provided by the Motor City Fellowship Choir. We hope to see you there. Family/youth night: Come join us at the Three Cedars Farm on Oct 6, 6:30-10:00 for vespers, hayride, corn maze, and s’mores. $10.00 per person. Please RSVP by Oct 3 with either Kelli M, Stephanie H., or Heather A. Hope to see you there! Attention All Men: The men’s ministry invites you to join our men’s choir – no experience necessary. We will be singing for special music in November and we need all men. Our first practice will be October 13 after potluck and possibly after choir practice. It will be a beautiful way to praise our Lord. Thank you – Scot Verhelle and Roy Coleman Women’s Ministry is collecting inspirational short poems thru Oct 27 to share with our High School and College ladies. Place your poems in the designated basket near the WM bulletin board. Also, take a moment to sign the cards located on the table next to the church mailbox. Thank you J Parents of High School and College daughters, please check your church mailboxes for care packages for your girls.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Come one come ALL! Mark your calendars for FALL FEST/CHILI COOK-OFF. Sunday, October 21st at Metropolitan Jr. Academy @ 4:00 p.m. Invite all your friends! Lots of good food, games including a dunk tank, bounce house, bobbing for apples, we can’t name them all so come and see what other fun is to be had! Not to mention some of the best homemade chili to warm your bellies! Come support your school and church all while brining in the fall with family! Looking forward to seeing all of you there! Public Hi-C Registration open – The Youth Department & CAMPUS are excited to introduce a new approach to Public Hi-C at Camp Au Sable! This year’s focus: Fieldwork. Our renewed purpose is training Public Hi-C students to know and meet the needs of their respective communities through Christ’s method of ministry and service. To accomplish this, we have made the difficult decision to cap our registration to 200 and to limit the number of attendees outside of our target audience (Those that attend non-Adventist schools). Consequently, Adventist students are encouraged to bring their classmates and friends with high spiritual interest. Please remember that high school students must come with a chaperone of same gender. The chaperone must complete the registration process for high school students and be responsible for them throughout the retreat. We encourage you to pray for this very important training and evangelistic event and to register (https://campusmin.typeform.com/to/ry7ir) your young people and their friends as soon as possible. It will fill quickly. Deadline to register is October 25th. Cost: $60/person. Dr. Michael Hasel will be coming to Metro on November 3rd. Dr. Hasel is the chair of the archaeology department at Southern Adventist University and is highly sought after the world over. Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to hear Dr. Hasel connect archaeology with Bible prophecy. This would be a great event to which you can invite your friends and family. They will be blown away and learn a lot about how the Bible is supported by archaeological finds. Religious Liberty Sabbath – October 20th: The Warren SDA Church has the pleasure of hosting Greg Hamilton, President of the Northwest Religious Liberty Association on Sabbath, October 20, 2018. He will be speaking for the worship hour with another presentation after lunch. At this critical time in history and with the unique Seventh-day Adventist view of Religious Liberty, we would like to make this a District wide event. Greg has a passion for helping both Christians and secularists understand the true nature and intent of our Nation’s constitutional founding, particularly as it applies to current religious, political, and constitutional policy trends. From a theological perspective, he loves to focus on Christ’s mission to save and the true nature of His kingdom. Most of all, he enjoys sharing significant parallels from Christ’s life – particularly the closing scenes – that illuminate current events and Bible Prophecy. Attention Parents/Grandparents of young men in boarding or public high school & college. We want to invite you to participate in a Young Men’s Care Ministry. Please forward the names of the young men, along with your email address and/or telephone numbers to Br. & Sis. Kolcz at [email protected]. We will contact you and discuss our plans to prepare care packages for delivery. We want our young men to know they are not forgotten by their church family, while they are way.
