*Update - I just heard that they are taking Alex home and that he is doing much better. Thank you to all who prayed for him.

URGENT PRAYER REQUEST -

Please be in prayer for Frank & Donna Von Der Sump's grandson Alex, who was rushed to the hospital with a 106 temperature.

I don't have any other details than that right now, so please be in prayer. I will update the church blog (http://PortageChurch.org/blog) with more details when I have them.

"To the praise of His glorious grace!"

Children's Church

This Sunday children's church starts after the worship music.  Parents please sign your children in at the check-in table downstairs before church.  Please have the kids come with you to check-in! They will be able to get their name tag and say their memory verse, also help remind them to bring their Bible.  These 3 things will help them earn points for prizes.  Children will come upstairs at the end of the service.  Next Sunday children's church also starts after the worship music.
 

Memory verse to be practicing for November: 

Hebrews 13:17  Obey your leaders and submit to their authority.
