Driver Needed for Wednesday Nights

We are in need of a driver on Wednesday nights. Every Wednesday, around 2-6 teens from the Lighthouse ministry in Akron come to Youth Group. Pastor Brad picks them up and drops them off right now. It has been amazing to see the growth and enthusiasm of these kids- excited to learn about God in a safe and loving environment amongst their peers. Often times, it's hard for Brad because he has to leave during his final prep time and misses welcoming the teens who arrive a little early, then he has to leave quickly afterwards to drive them back. It would be an amazing blessing to Brad and to these teens if someone from our church would be willing to pick them up and/or drop them off on Wednesday nights. Please pray to see if this is a ministry that you can help with. Please contact Sarah at the church (330) 666-1733 or email adminassistant@vesperlake.org if you are interested or if you have any questions.

Helped Needed In Newborn Nursery

I am putting together a new Sunday morning schedule for the Newborn Nursery. If anyone is interested in serving on the rotation, please let me know. There are some currently serving that are on multiple rotations on Sunday mornings and I would like to find a few people that would be interested in taking their place on the Newborn schedule. The commitment involves serving once a month (unless more people sign up then it will be less frequent). If you aren't able to do Sunday mornings but would like to serve at another time such as Sunday evenings or Wednesday evenings, please let me know and I will pass the information along to the appropriate people.

This is a great way for us to minister to our young moms; allowing them to be fed spiritually, emotionally, mentally and even physically on Sunday mornings. Please pray about whether the Lord would have you serve in this capacity.

I so appreciate those who have been serving – with joy :-). You are a blessing!

Please contact me. In Him, Roslyn

Life Chain October 4, 2008

There is a pro-life group, Right to Life, located in Akron, that addresses and aims to educate on issues such as stem-cell, euthanasia, and abortion. On Saturday, October 4, 2008, is our annual Life Chain event located near the one remaining abortion clinic in Summit County (839 E. Market Street).

It would be a tremendous testimony if we had some of you, all ages, come stand and pray in defense of the unborn children. I have seen firsthand the power of prayer as the Holy Spirit works in these girl's hearts. A peaceable group, we look to speak the truth of Christ's love and our need of salvation. Jesus Christ is the true Giver of life and we are all called to protect and cherish life!

If you would like to participate, I have chosen for our group the earlier of two shifts on that day, 10:30am-12:10pm; if you are unable at that time, the second shift is 11:50 am to 1:30pm.

Feel free to contact me at before that day to sign up & for more details.

Thank you! In Christ,
Rachel Radosavcev

On Sunday evenings when there is pastor/elder teaching, childcare will be provided during the teaching time. Children will be dismissed after the 15 minute praise & worship set. Please note: on Sunday evenings when the entire service consists of praise & worship, children are encouraged to remain with their parents and sing to the Lord!
