From Carolyn Self:

 

Kristy Frensley is the 36 year old young woman who was severely injured and her three children killed.  She remains in intensive care.  When she is discharged, she has nothing.  If you would like to assist in purchasing her clothing, toiletries or other personal items, please contribute to FBC this Sunday  or bring to the church office.  Several nurses  and her sister will purchase items for her immediate use,  then provide gift cards at Wal-Mart or restaurants for her future use.  The extended family of her children are also in town and we will provide restaurant vouchers for them if enough is given.   

 

Other churches have been providing meals at the hospital for the family for the past week.

Trunk or Treat

Hey Team,

 

We need more candy for Trunk or Treat.  My personal favorite would be something chocolate, but I'm sure whatever you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

 

Please either drop it by the church or bring it with you Sunday morning.  You can put it in the car "trunk" in the narthex, or you can give it to me for testing.  Either way -- THANKS!

 

Press on.

S.S.

Hey Team,

 

Song of Solomon -- This week we will have our first of two sessions regarding dealing with conflict.  These will be among the most important sessions we have during our study.  Please make plans to join us.

 

Pastor Search Committee Report -- This Sunday, October 26, at 6:00 p.m., the pastor search committee will give a report regarding its recommendation that Dr. Rick Stevens be called to be our pastor.  You should be receiving information in the mail this week regarding Bro. Rick, his family, and his ministry.  Please come Sunday night to ask questions and to hear why the search committee is unanimously recommending him.

 

Children's Hayride -- Hosted by Mary Glenn Orem and her family.  This Saturday, October 25 at 5:30 p.m.  Please call the church office and let us know if you are planning to attend.  Families are encouraged to come.  Food will be provided.  It's always fun at the Orems.

 

Our former interim pastor, Dr. John David Laida, often ended our worship services by encouraging us to "say a good word about our Lord and about our church to someone this week." 

 

Press on.
