Here's a look at the week ahead... and beyond!
A Special Sunday
Oct. 11Community Partner Day at Oakwood is not only a great opportunity to find ways to serve, but it also reminds us of our calling to love our neighbors well. We are called to live as missionaries right here in Lake Country. Enjoy meeting all of our Community Partners and see if one is a fit for you to support through prayer, financial means, or volunteering.
Looking Ahead...
Now Accepting Vendor Applications
The Crescendo Christmas Market and Gracenotes Orchestra Concert is on Saturday, Nov. 28. We're excited to welcome local artisans into our building to share handmade gifts with our community. Vendors will donate 10% of their proceeds back to local organizations, making an impact right here in Lake Country. If you are or you know a local artisan, please invite them to apply for the Crescendo Christmas Market!
All Hands on Deck
We need help cleaning up around our ponds, as well as cleaning and organizing some rooms indoors. The Fall Clean Up is on Oct. 24 from 8 a.m. - 12 p.m. Sign up here to let us know how you can help.

Partner Update
Join Don and Kim Gillaspie, who live in a First Nation people group in British Columbia, Canada, in praising God for His creation unfolding in a display of color, the lakes and the creatures, and the solitude of the forests. Praise God for Kim’s position as kitchen help at a school and the connections that are being made. Please pray for the Tsidedel (Redstone) community to be drawn to Jesus and know Him as their Healer, Restorer, and Savior.
Honor/Shame Cultures Workshop
We praise God that our guilt is forgiven in Christ, but what about our shame? You're invited to a workshop on Oct. 18 from 12 - 2 p.m., that will present a basic understanding of honor-shame cultures, show how the Bible addresses our shame, and will provide ways we can more meaningfully share the gospel. Let us know you're coming so we can plan lunch for you.

High School Students: what does it mean to be a "follower?" In today's social media world, it means something very different to those who follow Jesus. Refine "follower" at Districts Youth Conference Jan. 15-17 in Green Bay. Check out the details and register by Oct. 8.
