Trunk or Treat is Saturday!  Please bring your trunk, ready to hand out candy to kids in the community!  The event begins at noon with a fun run (admission is one bag of candy).  If you could be here early to help set up, that would be great.  Planning will also take place at the Kids Nite Out on Friday, from 6-9.

Red Bucket Offering—totaled $794.20.  Thank you!

Potluck on November 7!  (Please bring 2 canned goods to worship—these will be taken to East Brainerd Elementary to help needy children)  Also—we have a new opportunity to spend some time with our neighbors at The Lantern down the street.  It is an Alzheimer’s community.  We will go at 1:30 and lead a short worship service, than stay and spend some time with them.  Speak to Keith if you are interested in joining us.

Movie Night!  What if I told you that it was possible to grow as a Christian while watching movies?  (Well, maybe not all movies)  Our next movie night will be Cars, a wonderful film about a race car that talks.  Kids are welcome!  Feel free to bring your favorite movie snack, but no meal will be provided.  Showtime will be at 6:00 on Sunday, November 14!  Admission is $1, with all proceeds going to the Newton Center.

Shoes—I know that there are a lot of needs we are asking you to meet right now.  Between the food drive, the Operation Shoe Box, the Newton Center Red Bucket offering, and many others, we ask a lot.  What God asks us to give is different for each one of us.  If you are able, and if you are interested, we have the chance to help some kids at East Brainerd Elementary get some shoes that will fit.  Email me if you can go above and beyond and help meet this need.

Pray for…

Meditation Moment

God’s command to “pray without ceasing” is founded on the necessity we have of His grace to preserve the life of God in the soul, which can no more subsist one moment without it, than the body can without air.  (John Wesley)

Text for this Week

Matthew 6: 3-4

³But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, ⁴so that your alms may be done in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
