Dear Fourth Church,

Tonight is this fall's final regular Fourth Night class for adults, but that doesn't mean it's the final Fourth Night dinner! Plan to join us next week for An Evening of Prayer and Praise, followed by the November 11 New Member Dinner and Reception and the November 18 Friendsgiving with English Classes to finish out the Fourth Night season.

Today is the last day to register for this Saturday's Women of the Word Conference and Brunch; see below for details and to sign up.

Peace and grace to you,

Susan Kemp

For the Communications Team

Thanksgiving Bags Nominations

Do you know someone in our community who could use an extra blessing this fall? Nominate them to receive a festive bag filled with food cards and seasonal gifts in time for Thanksgiving! Nominees are those we know at church, in our neighborhood, at work, at school — anyone who might benefit from our deacons' friendly support.
