IN OUR DAILY PRAYERS this week please remember Kermit Schrag, Darlene Schrag, Marge Wollman and Kendra Schamber during their recoveries; Doris Albrecht, Myrna Huber and Wayne Pfeiffer in cancer treatment and Deb Sedlezky as she begins her cancer treatment. As always, we want to pray for our home shut-in and nursing home members, our inactive members and at least two people in your lives who don’t know Christ.

LWML YOUTH MITES – To the parents of the youth who brought their LWML Mite collection today: Please have your child give their Mite donation to the ushers at the time of the normal collection of offerings during the worship service. The ushers will have a separate basket since the homemade Mite containers will not all fit in our offering plates. Thanks be to God for our youth’s financial assistance to the LWML and to their parents who supported their children in this stewardship effort!

OUR BAZAAR is Thursday, November 3rd from 10:30 to 7:00 p.m. The food list & the work schedule are posted on the bulletin board in the Fellowship Hall and on the refrigerator in the kitchen. Please put a check mark by your name on the list when you bring your food donation for the Lunch Counter. We would appreciate if you would cool or refrigerate your food before you bring it to the church. Also if you have prepared your food and it is frozen, please have it unthawed before you bring it on Thursday. Our plans are to have the kitchen door unlocked around 7 a.m. Thursday morning. Also due to unforeseen circumstances we have a few workers in the day shift and also the evening shift that now have a conflict and will not be able to work, so we are looking for a couple of extra volunteers to help us during the day & evening on Thursday; please talk to Garnet, Mildred or Sharon if you can help us on a short notice. See you Thursday, November 3rd for a day of good food and fellowship. Thanks.

THE BAZAAR COMMITTEE will be doing most of the setup and cleaning of the kitchen today starting at 1:00 p.m. If you are willing to help us, just come to the church this afternoon. Thanks.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CHILDREN will again be performing the Christmas Eve service. We ask that you e-mail Amber at ambersayler@hotmail.com or call her at 925-7132 to let her know if your child/children will be participating. We would like to know no later than the end of October so parts can be divided out accordingly and a practice schedule can be set up. Thanks you! --Board of Education
