Next Sunday evening, October 3rd, we will have an all-church chili picnic on the grounds. Each family is asked to bring a crockpot of either chili, soup or stew and the toppings that go with it. Some may want to contribute side dishes like cornbread, breads, butter, corn chips, shredded cheese, diced onion, etc. Also plan to bring a dessert that would be enough for your family, along with LADLES, lawn chairs, blankets, and bug spray. Label your items, please! This is a great opportunity to become better acquainted with the Countryside family and meet new people. Please arrive at 4:45 so we can organize the food tables (we will eat at 5:00). Dinnerware, drinks and cups will be provided.

Our seventh checkpoint of the year is Sunday, September 26 at 4:30. Pastor Michael Summers will introduce us to the life of Jesus in the Gospels and the mission of the apostles in the book of Acts. We will meet in the west side of the Commons at Countryside.

Ladies, pease join us in celebrating Angela Crandall on Saturday, October 23rd at 10:00 a.m. in the Commons as she anticipates the birth of her and Kelyn’s first child!

Showers are a ministry of Countryside, intended to bless the women who are members of Countryside as they enter into new seasons of life through their first marriage and their first child. We invite ALL women to join us, regardless if you know Angela, to “rejoice with those who rejoice” as she enters this exciting season of life.

Students grades 7-12 are invited for a fun evening of fellowship and some competition as teams of students will participate in a Photo Scavenger hunt on Saturday, September 25th from 5-8:00pm. We will begin at Countryside at 5pm. Supper will be served, but students are encouraged to bring a dessert to share. If you have any questions please reach out to Pastor Phil or any youth sponsors.

Men, mark your calendars for the next Men’s institute on September 25th from 7:30-9:00 in the JYG Room. Our Missionary Pastor from Mexico, Pastor Brian Warne, will be encouraging us through God’s word.  We look forward to seeing you there!

We invite all women ages 16 and up to our quarterly Encouraged Hearts gathering Saturday morning, September 25, at 9:30 in The Commons. As we continue our ongoing exploration of who we are in Christ, our specific focus this time will be “finding identity from achievement.” We’ll be reminded that God values a heart that wants to abide in Him, and from that we bear much fruit. We hope you’ll join us for a panel discussion — plus an ice breaker, a book swap, and sweet fellowship with other women! — as we all learn together that whatever we do, we are to work heartily, as for the Lord.

We will be having our 10 am service outside on September, 26th. We will have regular 9 am Bible hour but no nursery/CHOW during 10 am service. Please plan to bring an extra lawn chair with you for any guests that may not have one.

This fall in the Bible Institute we will study passages of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation as we learn how to understand and apply the Bible. While learning principles for interpreting the Bible’s various types of literature (narrative, poetry, prophecy, etc.) we will also explore many of its key themes. The class will meet Monday evenings starting on 9/20 from 6:30-8:00 pm. The cost will be around $12. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP!
