WELCOME, GUESTS! Please join us downstairs for an all-church soup & sandwich dinner after church today. Members: if you attend, make sure to bring plenty of food. The Robertson Sabbath School class will sponsor next week's dinner.

HOLIDAY FOOD DRIVE

Today we also go out to pick up the bags we distributed last week. Please meet in the Chapel at 2:00 p.m.
We need donations of cash and food staples to help 200 families. You could purchase one portion of a meal for 15 families for $45.00. Any gift is truly appreciated, but if you can sponsor 50 ($150) or 100 ($300) we could make a huge difference. Why not gather your family, take it to the Lord in prayer, and ask Him what He would have you do. Please mark your tithe envelope "Food Drive Fund" and/or bring food items to the Fellowship Hall (note location change) now through Nov. 14. Thank you!
