Midweek Fellowship for

Midweek Fellowship continues on Wednesday, October 5 and 19 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The Preschool Staff will host the October 5 dinner and the Bithynia Class will host the October 19 dinner. The cost of the meal is by donation. From 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Rev. John LeGault will lead a Bible study.

In response to Hurricane Katrina we will be collecting items to make "health kits." Please bring one of the following: hand towels, wash cloths, toothpaste (4-7 oz.), individually wrapped toothbrushes, combs, bath-size soap, metal nail files or clippers. The youth will be putting the kits together during their meeting of October 9. This is a small, but very worthwhile way to help the victims of Katrina.

To make a reservation for Midweek Fellowship, please use the form in the Sunday bulletin or call the church office the Monday prior to the Midweek Fellowship you will attend. Child care is provided for the younger children during the study time.

Come Join the Circle: Jesus Is Born study unit seeking leaders.

Children's Sunday School - preschoolers through 5^th graders - is now recruiting for our November/December unit. The children will spend time exploring the story of Jesus' birth as found in Matthew 1:18-2:15. If you would like to be involved in this unit of study through music, art, cooking, games, puzzles, drama, or community service, please see Annette Pomeroy at the church office.
