Announcements

It's that time of year again! Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes are available in the entry, along with the labels you'll need for your boxes.

This is a wonderful opportunity to bless a child somewhere in the world with a gift-filled shoebox and help share the love of Jesus with them. If you'd like to participate, stop by the table in the entry and pick up a shoebox and label. Completed shoeboxes need to be returned to Roots by Sunday, November 22.

Have you ever thought about going on a short-term missions trip? We're planning a trip to Korea during the first two weeks of April, (specific dates TBD) and there may be an opportunity for you to be part of it! If you're interested in learning more about the trip, what we'll be doing, or what it might look like to participate, we'll be having an information meeting on Sunday, November 8, immediately after second service.

You don't have to make any commitments just yet. This is simply an opportunity to hear more, ask questions, and prayerfully consider whether the Lord might be leading you to go.

Throughout October, we've been inviting you to write a note of appreciation to our pastors and staff, or to anyone who has blessed you through their ministry here at Roots.

Sunday, October 25 is the last day we'll have cards available, so if there's someone you've been meaning to thank, we hope you'll take a few minutes to do that. You'll find the cards on the table by the TV in the entry. Just write your note, place it in the basket, and we'll make sure it gets delivered!

Daylight Saving Time ends next Sunday, November 1, which means we all get an extra hour of sleep! Don't forget to set your clocks back one hour before you go to bed Saturday night. We look forward to seeing you next Sunday at our regular service times of 9 and 11am!

There’s something special about having a part in helping children know and love the Lord. In Seedlings, we have the opportunity to come alongside parents as they teach their children God’s Word and encourage them to grow in their faith.

We’re looking for more people to join us in serving our kids on Sunday mornings. Whether you enjoy teaching or would rather serve alongside someone else in the classroom, there are different ways to be involved. Lessons and materials are provided, and we’ll help you get started.

If you’d like to invest in the next generation at Roots, we invite you to take that first step and learn more about serving in Seedlings.
To learn more, talk to Keziah. You can also click the link below or pick up a Seedlings application at the Connect board, fill it out and turn it in to Keziah or to the church office.

Youth Group is also back this week, with new hours this fall, meeting from 6:30 to 8:30pm each Wednesday. Students who have moved up into Youth Group can begin attending this week, so parents, be sure to make note of the new time.

Our church office is open Monday through Thursday from 9am to 4pm. Messages received outside of office hours will be responded to during the next regular office day. For questions or assistance, please contact the church office at 406-642-9994 or contact@rootsfellowship.com. 

There's a lot happening at Roots as we head into fall, and we'd really encourage you to find a place to be part of it. Take a look at the Get Involved page and see where the Lord might be leading you to get connected.

You've probably noticed our recent parking lot improvements as well as volunteers helping direct parking before each service. We kindly ask that you follow their directions as they help create room for guests and visitors.

We're also looking for a few more people to help with parking. If you're interested, stop by Michelle's desk in the entry after service.

Each Sunday morning at 8am, a group gathers to pray before first service. It's a time to pray for our church, our leadership, and the morning ahead. Everyone is welcome to join in, so if you'd like to come early and spend some time in prayer with others, we'd love to have you.

Just a reminder that we gather for Missions Prayer on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month at 7pm. This is a special time for us to come together and pray for our missionaries in Kosovo and Korea, and for the safe house in Nepal. We’d love for you to join us
as we lift them up, encourage one another, and trust God for His work around the world.
