Worship This Weekend 
This Sunday is Bible Sunday, when our third-graders will receive a Bible! Come to the 9:00 a.m. traditional service in the sanctuary or the 10:15 a.m. progressive One and All service in Fellowship Hall to help them celebrate this milestone. The sermon this Sunday at both services will be entitled, "Best Practices for Thankfulness." Thankfulness is a way of life that needs to be cultivated. This sermon will look at some of the "best practices" for developing a more thankful life. Read the scripture:
Isaiah 12
At the traditional service,
the Gift of Music will be presented by the talented Chancel Choir. For t
he One and All service, the band is planning a great lineup. Come worship at this progressive service and enjoy a complimentary light breakfast as you do.
Can't attend either service this Sunday? Tune in on Facebook (go to our
Facebook Page), or on our website (
www.blmfcc.com) to see a live stream! You can watch the 9:00 a.m. service and worship along with those at FCC Sunday morning. Be sure to tell your friends!
Gifts for Another Table:
This month we continue to collect food items for the Center for Hope Food Pantry. Let's keep the momentum going with items like rice and rice dinners, potato dinners, pasta of any kind, pasta sauce, Hamburger Helper, dinner meals, cereal, mashed/boxed potatoes, and canned fruits and vegetables. Especially appreciated is peanut butter.

All caps and lids must be Recycle #2, 4, or 5.

Please find a detailed list of needed items at the Info Desk. Some examples: Ziploc gallon bags, paper towels, plastic shoeboxes, glue sticks, tissues, pens, and Playdoh. Also, gently used tennis shoes, coats, clothes for kids to change into in case of accidents, and new boys' and girls' underwear are needed.
