Announcements:
October Bible Study: Rev. Amy is looking at starting up a brief, Fall Bible Study. Try to make time for an evening, weekly study of 1 Corinthians. This wonderful, 16 chapter letter discusses life together as a Christian community and how we can live our lives in light of the grace of Jesus Christ. Stay tuned for more details.
No October Rummage Sale: This fall, the Presbyterian Women will not be having our usual Fall Rummage Sale. However, we plan to have a sale and could use your help. We will be selling items through Facebook and eBay. Please let Marjorie McKenzie know if you are able to help us make it a success!
Wednesday, 9/22 at Noon: Quay County Health Council Bystander Training This week, you can tune in for free with Zoom, Facebook, or attend in person at the Extension Office next door to the police station. There will be a lunchtime training on how to act in emergency and non-emergency situations where there is "Intimate Partner Violence" (formerly called "Domestic Violence"). If you want to attend online, you can email [email protected] or text (575) 815-4575 and ask for “bystander link.” Also, it is available through Facebook at @quaycountyhealth. For more info, you can read about it at the Quay County Sun Online: https://www.qcsunonline.com/story/2021/09/08/news/intimate-partner-violence-task-force-hosts-bystander-intervention-training/22804.html
This Friday, I will be engaged in the 3rd installment of Mental Health First Aid training, also offered through Quay County. It is part to fulfill my annual Continuing Education requirements. (I am supposed to take 2 full weeks)

Rides to Amarillo Needed: I have been working on finding names of people who are willing to help others to doctors' appointments in Amarillo. If you know of anyone, whether they will do it for free or for money, who can help a person with physical limitations, please let me know. This is a recurring problem in our little community, especially for those who 1) live alone, 2) are not on Medicaid, 3) use a walker or wheelchair and 4) have no family locally. It's a very big concern. So far, I have one person on my list, who does it for payment. Please let me know if you know anyone who can help. Thank you!
Friends, I hope that this is a great start to the rest of your week. See you in church on Sunday!
Blessings and peace
Amy
