The visitation with Sharon Jardee’s family will take place this Wednesday, 10/22, from 11:00AM until the noon service time.  Visitation and service will both take place from Serenity Funeral Home.  Pray for Sharon’s family during this time.  Sharon was a wonderful lady.

Our Refresh Committee did a nice job yesterday afternoon of presenting the seating options for the auditorium.  There was a nice spirit within the meeting with good information, questions and discussion.  The vote was taken at the close of the evening service and the result was chairs.  So, the Refresh Committee will now get us the best deal possible on chairs.  Thank you to each person who attended the meeting and to those who voted.  A very special “thank you” to the nine members of the ad hoc Refresh Committee for their prayers, time and efforts.  Remember, the special offering will take place on Sunday, 11/9, in both services.  Pray without ceasing and then give sacrifically!

The Friendship family extended a unanimous call last night to Jason Fosmore to serve, on a part time basis, as our Bus Director/Children’s Church Director.  He has already been serving in this role for the past six weeks or so.  The best thing about Jason is his wife, Laura.  I am thankful to have Jason in this position.

Friendship family – help needed!  First, we need bags of wrapped candy brought to one of the services this Wednesday or to the morning service this Sunday, 10/26.  This is for our annual Hallelujah Festival which will take place this Sunday afternoon on the back forty.  We cannot have too much candy!

Second, we need individuals, families, classes, et cetera to host a booth/trunk for this event.  Contact Lindsey Vice for the details or to sign up.

Third, we need help tomorrow morning, 10/21, beginning at 9:00AM to load a container which will be shipped to Guatemala with our “Bags of GRACE” plus other items for Clubhouse Ministries.  The staging will take place here on our campus.  Many hands make light work so guys, please come!  Pass the word and join us at 9:00AM, please!

I pray that you will have a good rest of your Monday with Jesus.
