Pastor Appreciation Month
October is Pastor Appreciation month! We are so very blessed to have Adam’s faithful leadership and dedication to preaching the Word of God. Let us take some time this month to show our gratitude and appreciation.
Friday Food Bags/BJ’s Coupons
We will begin our sixth year of the Friday Food Bag ministry with Spotsylvania Elementary School. Each week we deliver a bag of food/snack items for children to take home over the weekend. The school provides us with the number of bags needed. This number can change throughout the school year. Last year we provided 57 bags for the majority of the school year. We appreciate any unused BJ’s coupons to use towards purchasing the items. During our first shopping trip to begin restocking items, we were able to save $171.25 with coupons. Thank you for your generous support and continued prayers for this ministry.
Good News Club Volunteers Needed
We are currently looking for volunteers for our Good News Club at Spotsylvania Elementary on Monday afternoon from 3-5 pm. We love the relationship that we are able to have with this school and can't wait to continue bonding with the students and sharing the love of Jesus. We will be losing some current volunteers after this fall, so please reach out if you're interested in helping out. Contact Susan Schubel at 540-840-3713 for more information.
Kitchen Volunteers Needed
We are currently in need of kitchen volunteers to help in times of potlucks or special events. If this is something that would be of interest to you or if you have any questions, please reach out to Winnie Boyce.
Good News Club Snacks
We will be starting the 2025-26 Good News Club at Spotsylvania Elementary School on September 8th. As usual, the children will be provided with two snacks – one when they arrive and one when they leave. We would like for you to provide snack for them. There will be approximately 30 kids, so things that you can buy or make in bulk are fine. We only have one student with an allergy, and I take care of her snacks, so you can provide anything for them.
You can either bring the snack to the school at 3 pm on your designated day or give it to Karen Jones the day before.
Thank you for supporting this ministry to those who are learning to love the Lord at a young age!

Goshen Guild
With your sword strapped and quiver full, it's time to find your quest! The Goshen Guild meets most third Sundays from 1:30-4:00 pm for collaborative story-telling and fun using the Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) table-top role-playing game (TTRGP). This event is open to all middle and high school students, with the intention of growing leadership, teamwork, and communication skills while providing a safe place to play.
Tables are designed for players to come and go as they are available. Players may bring their own characters (unless otherwise noted), select a premade character, or come between 1:30-2:00 pm to receive help building a character. All characters should use only the Player's Handbook (2014), Xanathar's Guide to Everything, and Tasha's Cauldron of Everything as source material.

We now have an online Goshen Merch Shop. The shop has various clothing items in multiple colors with our Goshen logo, and new items have been added. You will pay for your items directly at the link, and they will ship directly to you. If there is something you would like to see in the shop, please let the office know, and we may be able to make it happen based on availability.

Have a favorite song or a song we haven’t done in a while? Please feel free to share it with Travis or any member of the Worship team. Whether it’s a hymn, worship song, or just a special piece that speaks to your heart, we would LOVE to hear it. Let us know and we’ll do our best to include it in an upcoming service!
Prayer Requests
One of the groups we offer in the Goshen app is our Prayer Community. We encourage you to join this group and use this tool for your prayer requests. This is an easy and great way to get requests out immediately without having to go through the church office. If you have any questions about the app or how to join one of the groups, please contact the office.
Children’s Ministry Volunteers Needed
The Children’s Ministry is urgently seeking volunteers to help with both Sunday school and Awana programs. These ministries are vital in providing a nurturing and supportive environment for children to grow in their faith, but they cannot thrive without the dedication and service of volunteers. If you would like to volunteer, please contact Laura Bonner at (540) 842-1028 or laurabonner511@gmail.com.
