This document is the newsletter from a church providing announcements for upcoming events, including a men's fall retreat and bible school, as well as prayer requests. It discusses the gospel passage from Mark 12:13-17 where the Pharisees and Herodians try to trap Jesus with a question about paying taxes to Caesar. Jesus responds by saying "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's." The homework assignment asks whether God is the ultimate authority and to examine decisions to see if actions reflect belonging to God.
