A MOMENT WITH THE PASTOR
   Messages of appreciation are still being received for having the Deacon Ordination Service on Sunday morning.  Many in attendance had never witnessed such a service.  Brian and David did exceptional jobs in sharing their faith journey.  Carl, Rodney and Ed were also outstanding in their participation.  Remember, to pray . . . to encourage . . . and to follow our deacons.
   October 29 is our First Family Reunion.  We are emphasizing Sunday School and  worship attendance.  There is a place for you Sunday!  Then, don't forget our Fall Festival that night is for the whole family. Enter your chili or pie in the cook-off and we still need Trunk or Treaters to volunteer.  There will be entertainment, plenty of food, fun and candy!
