Thank you Anna Kate & Drew Breland and the Celebration Choir for the beautiful special music this past Sunday. I have heard so many great comments on how good all of you sounded! It was so exciting to receive Mary Messick and her grandson, Sevin Messick upon their profession of faith at the 11:00 service! Both will be baptized this coming Sunday at the beginning of the 11:00 service. Please make them feel welcome.

Thank you for generously and obediently giving to the Margaret Lackey State Missions Offering. We exceeded our goal by approximately 20%.

Next Sunday evening, Dr. Tommy Doughty will lead a Discipleship Training study entitled, Christian Worldview and the World Wide Web” from 5:30 – 7:00pm. All adults and youth will meet in the Adult Assembly Area #1 (overflow room).

Also, our annual Family Fall Festival will be on Saturday, October 21^st, 4:00 – 7:00pm, in the gym (food served in the Fellowship Hall). There will be food, games, fun, and lots of candy for the children – and activities for all ages. A cart for candy donations is set up in the Welcome Center. If you can help with set-up and/or operating the games, please contact Judy Meyers, Rachel Davis, or phone the church office. WE NEED Volunteers, Candy, and Participants for the Chili Cookoff! Sign-up sheets are in the Sanctuary foyer, OR you may use your Connect Card from the church Bulletin, OR you may phone the church office.

International Evangelist Brian Tyndall will be back with us on Sunday, October 29^th. He will lead revival services at 8:30 & 11:00am, and 6:00pm. Prayer Vigil sign-up sheets will be available this Sunday. I ask that you begin to pray for this special day, and invite everyone you know.

You are Loved!
