I am sending my e-mail early this week because there are two important opportunities I want you to be aware of. #1 Water Baptism this Sunday We are having water baptisms this Sunday!

One of the highlights of our year is the Thanksgiving Blessing. This year our goal is to have 175 sponsors so that we can give away 175 turkeys and all the ingredients for a family Thanksgiving meal for local families.  Your gift of $25 will completely fund Thanksgiving dinner for someone who might be unable to provide that special meal without help. We'll gather on Friday evening, November 18th at 6:30pm to prepare the bags.  Volunteer sign-in on Saturday morning, November 19th  is at 8:30, with the give-away beginning at 9a.m. in the parking lot at the Goodwill Store on New Shackle Island Road.  If you'd like to help either Friday night or Saturday morning, please sign up at the communication center. If you would like to sponsor one or more meals, please note Thanksgiving Blessing on your check or from the drop down box in online giving. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ SPECIAL INVITATION   You're invited to...
