Sermon Details: This week Pastor Manasseh is preaching from Habakkuk 3:16-19 on "How to Rejoice when Everything Falls Apart." You can view the sermon points and take notes using the YouVersion Bible App.
MetKids Special Sunday Schedule: Please note that today (Sunday, October 11), MetKids will follow a Special Sunday Schedule for Thanksgiving weekend. There will be no Elementary Sunday School, but activity booklets will be available for children in both the Sanctuary and the Chapel. MetTykes Sunday School (Ages 0-5) will be available during the 9:00 a.m. service only.
Sunday Morning Prayer: We have started our Sunday morning prayer time again. We meet at 8:00am in the Chapel to pray as a church for about 30 minutes.
Special Fall Offering: This is the final week to give towards the Special Fall Offering. This fund will be going towards Church AV Tech Needs. A number of our cameras, projectors, lighting systems, and related equipment have either reached the end of their expected lifespan or are getting close to it. These are practical needs, but they directly support ministry. They help us serve people well on Sundays, support our mid-week ministries, and make sure our Sanctuary, Chapel, and Gym are equipped for the different ministries that use those spaces throughout the week. This is part of a three-year plan, and our goal for this first year is $108,000. Over $19,000 has come in so far, so thank you for those who have given! You can make a donation and note "Special Fall Offering".
Met Staff Appreciation Month: October is Pastor Appreciation Month, but at The Met we like to expand it to all of our staff! This month, you can share a note of encouragement, a Bible verse, or a prayer, with someone on the Met staff team. Notes of encouragement papers are available today. You can also check the “Our Team” page to see everyone’s role and their email address.
Grow & Serve Class: If you have decided to make The Met home and are ready to take the next step, we invite you to attend this class to learn about the various ways you can grow deeper in your faith walk through serving and other opportunities. We will share about practical ways you can use your spiritual gifts to serve the church and discuss other growth opportunities here at The Met. Come to the Grow & Serve Class on Sunday, October 18th at 11:00am (please register online here).
Celebrate Missions Conference: This year the Celebrate Missions Conference will start on Sunday, October 25 and run throughout the week. It will begin with a message from our keynote speaker Darren DeGraaf during Sunday worship services, followed by a cultural dinner and an evening program (register for the dinner here). This year we will have a seminar on evangelism, and missionaries visiting mid-week ministries. The theme for this year is Neighbours & Nations, reflecting on how the gospel is for everyone both far and near, and how we can share the hope of Jesus with those around us. More information can be found on our website.
Women's Fall Retreat: Our Women's ministry is hosting a retreat on November 13-15. There are two different options: a full weekend or Saturday only. There are limited spaces for the weekend and we are over half full already. Women can find more info and register on our website. We hope many can join for this restful and uplifting time together.
Printed Lyric Sheets: For those who have a hard time viewing the screen at the front of the Sanctuary, we have some copies of printed lyrics available. You can pick one up from an usher on your way in.
