Our Fall Church Work Day is coming up Saturday, November 7. We will begin at 9:00am and work until 3:00, both inside and outside to spruce up our building and grounds.

William Pake from Boy Scout Troop 1450 is beginning his Eagle Scout project: completely replacing the church’s “Frontier Lot” stairs, which connect the back parking lot to the wooded overflow lot. William is looking for extra volunteers to help with the project. Scouts, non-Scouts, and adults are welcome to help. Volunteers may also qualify for SSL hours. Workdays will be held on Saturdays from October 24 through November 14. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Come and join us on the 1st & 3rd Thursdays at 7:00pm at Pastor Baile’s home, or on the 2nd & 4th Thursdays from 7:45-8:45pm at the church, for a time of fellowship, community, and in-depth study of God’s Word. Whether you’re new or returning, all young adults are welcome as we grow together in faith and understanding. If you have any questions, please contact Omar. Come ready to connect, learn, and be encouraged.
The upcoming holiday season should be filled with joy, laughter, anticipation, and fellowship. Ladies, join us Monday, November 2, as we learn some ways to add festivity to our homes and dinner tables as we enter the holiday season. You’ll go home with some great ideas, but you’ll also have opportunities to fellowship with each other. Come at 6:30 to share some appetizers!
Ladies, join us Tuesday mornings for a time of prayer at 8:15am in the lobby before the Bible Study class. Come for as much or as little of the prayer time as your schedule allows.

Gentlemen, get ready for a weekend away!
The weekly Saturday morning men’s Bible study is going through some of the minor prophets: Zephania, Haggai and Malachi. The group meets in the hospitality room from 9-10:30am on Saturdays. Contact Steve Lee for information.
Johnnie Shaffer is leading a men’s study on Tuesday evenings beginning September 22 at the church from 7-8:30pm studying Wayne Grudem’s Systematic Theology: An Introduction to Biblical Doctrine. This is a great opportunity for fellowship and to learn the essential doctrines of the Christian faith in a more readable way. From chapter one of the book, Grudem states that “systematic theology answers the question, what does the whole bible teach us today about any given topic?” Contact Johnnie Shaffer with questions.
On Saturday, October 31 at 9:45am, Shady Grove kids, their families, and friends are invited to enjoy feeding animals, a hayride, and pumpkin picking at Sharp’s Farm at Waterford in Brookville, MD. This event is free! Please RSVP by October 16th.
After service on November 1st, join us in room 10/11 and find out what it’s like to serve with Shady Grove Kids! There is nothing more important for the younger generation than imparting to them a rich vision of the Gospel. Come and learn all about this joyful ministry. Please RSVP below:
Beginning this Sunday, the 2–5-year-olds class will be learning from The Beginner’s Gospel, while our 6yo-4th grade class will be walking through The Biggest Story. We have an excellent team of teachers ready to lead these classes and we are excited to see how the Lord will work through these lessons to teach His truth and work in the hearts of our children.
