PARKING – Please do not park at the Common Man parking lot if you’re going to the 10:45 service because they start serving lunch at 11 am, and we don’t want to keep any of their customers from parking there. Thank you!

CHRISTMAS PAGEANT PRODUCTION – There will be no rehearsal next Sunday, October 25th, because we will be setting up for the Trunk or Treat event after the 10:45 worship service.

BREAKFAST BAR, POTLUCK LUNCH AND BAPTISMS – Our next baptism is scheduled for Sunday, November 15th. We’ll also be having a breakfast bar before the early service and a potluck lunch after the late service. Please let Ernie know if you are interested in being baptized on that day.

BOOKS, TUMBLERS AND T-SHIRTS – This week’s Back to Church season gift is a free book! They will be available outside right after both worship services, plus we still have some T-shirts and plenty of tumblers available for those who did not already receive one in the past year.

TRUNK OR TREAT SET UP – We need some help setting up for our trunk or treat next week, and we still need lots of candy,, help with games, and a lot more trunks. Please fill out the orange form in today’s bulletin if you can help. Thank you!
