Pastor Appreciation Sunday – October 25 – Join us on October 25 as we celebrate and show our appreciation for our pastor, Matt, and his family.  Following the worship service, we will gather for a potluck meal and a time of fellowship and celebration.  Please bring a dish or 2 to share and come prepared to enjoy good food, fellowship, and an opportunity to express our gratitude for our pastor.

Fun Fall Evening, October 28, 6-7:30 PM.  All kids and families are invited.  We’ll enjoy a light supper, s’mores around the campfire, outdoor games, a craft, and a special take-home gift!  It’s a great opportunity for kids to have fun together, and for families to get to know one another and build friendships!  This is an open-house-style event, so come and go as you please.  

Farewell Fellowship, Sunday, November 8 from 3-5:00 PM.  Dennis & Rin Bontrager will be moving soon to St. Johns, MI and we want to wish them well in their new adventure.  Please join us for a time of fellowship.  There will be an open mic time, so bring memories and stories to share.

Blood Drive – Volunteers are needed to help with registration, providing rides for donors, and tear down at the next blood drive on November 2.  Sign up at the Welcome Center.

Loved First Buy a Brick/Bench - – For each minimum donation of $30 to Loved First, you will get a brick with your name scripted on it.  The bricks will be used to build a dormitory.  Or you can give a minimum of $500 to purchase a mahogany bench with your name on it.  These benches will be used outside the school in a sitting area.  Donation cards will be available at the display in the fellowship hall along with bricks to view.  This fundraiser will end December 31.
