Family Harvest Party - October 30
Dear Church Family:
We hope you are planning on attending the Family Harvest Party this year!
We had some sign-up sheets in the hallway at church; unfortunately, due to some severe pain issues I have been having, I haven't been to church to check those sign-up sheets.
If you signed up for something on the sign-up sheet, please e-mail and let me know what you signed up for.
If you have NOT signed up already, I'm sure you're wondering, "HOW CAN I HELP?"Thank you for asking!! Your help & support will be a great blessing to us!!
There are several ways to help:
1. Sign up to help with an activity station. (more info. below)
2. Bring some needed supplies (plain sugar cookies, frosting, sprinkles, donuts, roasted pumpkin seeds).
3. Make a monetary donation to help cover expenses for prizes & supplies.
4. I need someone to make a gift basket for the adult costume prize winner.
5. We will need some help setting up & decorating on the day of the party.
THREE THINGS TO REMEMBER:1. Wear a costume! There will be prizes for kids & adults!
2. If you want to join the pumpkin carving/painting, you need to BRING YOUR OWN PUMPKIN (and your favorite carving supplies if you wish!).
3. PLEASE TELL US HOW MANY KIDS YOU ARE BRINGING. We are handing out special treats at the end of the party, and we want to have enough for all the children.
More details are listed below...If you have any questions, feel free to email me. I look forward to hearing from each and every one of you!
Cathi & Melissa =)

Prayer Requests from Wednesday Night, October 13
Allen Hill has been told he has a problem with a disc in his back. He was scheduled to have a consultation with his doctor Thursday about treatment options.
Bob Sell is home and continuing to improve as he undergoes therapy.
Karee Blunt was sick and not feeling able to come Wednesday night. There have also been some paperwork snags in the Blunts' adoption of the baby in China. Hopefully, this will be resolved soon, but they need our prayers for them, for baby Sophie, and for those handling the adoption process both in the U. S. and in China.
