There are Visitor Cards located in the card holders on the backs of the pews. Please fill one out for us and place it in the collection plate when it is passed. Again, we thank you for visiting with us today.
We have an Attended Nursery in the Education Building for babies up to 2½ years old;
or, if you’d like to stay with your child, an Unattended Nursery at the back of the
auditorium next to the Foyer.
We have Children’s Church for children ages 2½ through 5 years in the Children’s Church Room in the Education Building. A slide will be flashed on the screen when it’s time for the children to be dismissed for that program. Toward the end of our service, the children’s teachers will bring the children back to you for the closing songs.

Dorothy West has a new address! It is 1810 Marlandwood Road, #10103, Temple, 76502.
Her phone number is the same, so please update your paper directory at home with this change of address.
Congratulations to Jason and Paula Hicks! A new little Hicks baby boy will be joining Kayden sometime toward the end of March, 2010!
Today, immediately after our morning service, we will have lunch and an interview time with a second candidate for our part-time youth minister position, Justin Ruiz and his fiancé, Maegan. We are inviting everyone to stay for this, but especially parents of our children and teens.
If you haven’t received your new pages for your picture directory (pictures of Janice Crowell and the Weems family), please pick them up from the back table.
In a discussion with the Elders Wednesday night, it was decided that this year, for our Thanksgiving Food Drive, we will collect items to be given to the Arms of Hope children’s homes (Boles Home and Medina Children’s Home) and also concentrate on adding to our own Food Pantry so that we can continue to help people who come to the church in need. The items Arms of Hope would like for us to collect through the end of the year are: Pop Tarts and Shampoo and Conditioner. For our own Food Pantry, any non-perishable food is fine. We are only a little low now on canned meats, but that would still be a good starting point for this food drive. We will put the items at the front of the church, Arms of Hope items on the left, and our Food Pantry items on the right, beginning this coming Sunday morning. Doing this serves as a reminder at this time of year to thank God always for our blessings and to share with others what he has given us! In lieu of bringing items, you may always make a donation separate from your Sunday contribution to be given to Arms of Hope for their food drive or for our own food pantry.
Emily Payne would love to have any of your “Box Tops for Education” labels that are found on many cereal boxes as well as numerous other products. She is collecting them for her school. Just cut them out place them in the bins on the back table or outside the Fellowship Room door.
Our elder chairman for the month of November is Terry Rascoe. Please get in touch with Terry if you have any questions or would like to meet with the elders. His e-mail address is: tgrascoe@hot.rr.com.
