ANNOUNCEMENTS New Leadership for Serving Groups
Insights from the Reformation Today we are celebrating the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation, and recognizing Martin Luther's revolutionary impact on the church. For further study on this topic, you might want to listen to some audio programs that focus on "Five Insights from the Reformation," produced by Groundwork—a broadcast ministry of Back to God Ministries International. These episodes focus on how we are saved by grace alone, by faith alone, through Christ alone, by Scripture alone, and to the glory of God alone. Groundwork is a half-hour weekly audio program for radio and podcast that digs deeply into scripture as the foundation for our lives. Each week, pastors Dave Bast and Scott Hoezee cultivate our understanding of God’s Word by unpacking the richness of the Bible and applying it with insight for today’s world. You can access these audio programs by visiting their website: https://groundwork.reframemedia. com/episodes If you have a QR code reader app on your smartphone, access the site by scanning this code:

Serving Groups are being reformed, and Carol DeKoekkoek has graciously agreed to take leadership of this caring ministry. Serving Groups have historically been tapped when there is a memorial service reception, when a visiting choir needs a meal, or another special need arises. All the women in the church will be assigned to one of three rotating groups, and each group will be led by two team leaders (for a total of 6 volunteer leaders). If you are willing to lead a team or don't want to be a part of this ministry, please contact Carol DeKoekkoek or the Church Office. Community Choir Concert We look forward to the annual Community Choir Concert which helps to raise funds for North Helpline. This organization helps prevent utility shut-offs and evictions, provides food, hygeine packs, diapers, and baby food for those in need. Sunday, November 5 3:00 p.m. Prince of Peace Lutheran Church Featuring soloist Laurie Solheim and emcee, Rob Brewer The participating choirs will include Shoreline CRC, Haller Lake United Methodist, Lake City Presbyterian, Prince of Peace Lutheran, The Sound Singers, and Wedgwood Presbyterian. There will be a cookie reception after the concert. Hope to see you there! For more info, contact the Church Office

Women’s Monday PM Bible Study The Women's Monday Evening Bible Study meets most Monday evenings at 7:00 p.m. in Rooms 201-202. We are continuing in our study, Embracing God's Grace.

This includes video introductions and lessons for this 12-week study. We invite women of all ages to join us!
Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. Hebrews 10:24-25 (NLT)

Shoreline Christian Reformed Church is a gospel and grace-centered
community learning how to follow Jesus. We belong to a broader community called The Christian Reformed Church. What does this mean? We call ourselves… Christian… Because we belong to Jesus Christ and want to be his followers.
Reformed…
Church…
Because we’re part of the historic branch of the Christian church that follows the teachings of the leaders of the Protestant Reformation, who struggled to return Christianity to its biblical roots. Because God has called us to be a fellowship of his people in the world.
