IN OUR DAILY PRAYERS this week please keep all who are sick, recovering from surgery (including Susan Schamber’s father) and undergoing treatment of any kind in your prayers. We ask that you also would continue to pray for our shut-in and nursing home members, our inactive members as well as at least two people in your lives who don’t know Christ. Those who wish to send cards or letters to Kendra Schamber during her recovery period may send them to her in care of her parents (Dave and Susan Schamber) at P. O. Box 221, Freeman, SD 57029-0221.
NEW MEMBER RECEPTION – At 11:30 today we will have a New Member Reception and potluck, and will joyfully receive into our fellowship: Monica Cokens; Chad, Joni, Riley and Alaric Knittel; Adam, Meranda, Blake and Piper Van Ningen; and Rev. Richard and Bunne Weeman. Our Evangelism Committee will host the luncheon and the Samaritan Group will be the servers. Please stay and welcome our newest members! And … don’t forget to check out their pictures on the bulletin board!!
EXTRA KITCHENWARE – Please check the kitchen to see if any of the containers, bowls, cake pans or pie plates are yours; we seem to have items that have been left from funerals or potlucks that need to be returned to their rightful owners. Also, please check the refrigerator and freezer as there are food items that should be taken home before the Bazaar because we will need to clean the refrigerators also. Thanks.
PLAN TO ATTEND THE BAZAAR on Thursday, Nov. 3rd from 10:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. We will have a Stitchery/Craft Booth, Country Store with baked items and the Lunch Counter.

If you have any questions regarding the food list or the work schedule please call Garnet Stern, Mildred Siekmann, or Sharon Pfeiffer. See you on November 3rd for a day of good food & fellowship.
THE BAZAAR COMMITTEE will be doing most of the setup and cleaning of the kitchen on Sunday, October 30th starting at 1:00 p.m. If you are willing to help us, just come to the church that afternoon. Thanks.
