Shield of Faith- featuring Joe Magyar, Romie Vaught & Michele Thacker. They will be presenting a worship service and gospel concert for our morning worship service this coming Sunday morning at 10:45 a.m.  Join us in person or online on our Facebook page for the live streaming of the service.  You will be blessed by this special worship service this Sunday.

Trunk-or-Treat- due to the situation with COVID-19, we will not be able to host Trunk-or-Treat this year.

I have certainly enjoyed bringing messages on the promises of God.  I hope they have blessed you and encouraged you.  We will conclude this series the Sunday before Thanksgiving.  I have selected 4 final promises for us to consider and will conclude with a message that will encourage us to build our lives on the promises of God.  The next message in the series is on October 25th.  The promise that we will look at then is- "The Devil's Days Are Numbered."

Grace & Peace,

Dennis

Operation Christmas Child will be collecting shoeboxes for delivery during the pandemic. Fill a shoebox with small gifts for impoverished children. Due to the pandemic, drop off locations will be limited and will not be announced until after Oct.26th.  Samaritan's Purse is encouraging everyone to go online to build boxes.  Please consider this option as we do not know if there will be a local drop off site. Please use this link Build A Shoebox Online Goal to build shoeboxes to donate from our church--its quick, easy, and fun! If you prefer to pack a traditional shoebox, you can ship your box to: Operation Christmas Child, P.O. Box 3000, Boone, NC  28607. Operation Christmas Child brochures are in the foyer.  Our goal is 50 boxes.

Attendance:  onsite- 42; Facebook views- 183; website visits- 52
