 Putting Our Best Foot Forward
 In the next two weeks hundreds of people will be coming to our campus, to vote on November 6th, to shop at the Bazaar on November 10th, and to celebrate with us 100 years of ministry on Sunday, November 18th. We want to make sure we are looking our best when they come!
On the next two Sundays, we will be spending an hour or two after the worship service doing some cleaning, including some baseboards, window sills, and walls. We would love for those that are able to join us. Bring your grubbies (or just wear them to church, we won't mind!) and stick around to help! The Community Dinner Crew has graciously offered to prepare a light lunch for us both weeks (burgers on the 4th and smorgasbord on the 11th) so you don't even have to pack a lunch!

 The Waiting Room? 
Are you in a "waiting" phase of your life? Waiting for a relationship? Waiting for a job? Are you losing patience? Have you lost sight of God in the waiting? The "Waiting Room" is a new small group for those that would like prayer and support while they are waiting. It will be facilitated by Richmond Schmidt and will take place at his home. Because of his schedule, this will be a group for "night owls" or "early birds," meeting on Thursday morning at 7:30 or Thursday evening at 9:00 PM. Email us if you are interested in this group.Morning Prayers  You are invited to join us on Wednesday mornings for a time of prayer, song, and silence. It has been a life-giving midweek experience for those of us who have gathered so far. You can find out more information here.
