Announcements:

• The Lord's Supper will be served during the service this morning.
• Thank you for the men who helped with the roof on Friday and Saturday.
• The How to Teach the Bible Series will continue on Monday evenings at 6:30 p.m. until around 8:00 p.m.
• Plan to join us for our mid-week Bible study at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 30th. We will begin the book of James with James 1:1-18.
• We have new pew Bibles. If you need a Bible or know someone who does, please take it and use it.
• There is a Deacons’ care list on the bulletin board in the back hall. The deacon that you are under will be your primary point of contact, and they will be reaching out to you soon. This does not mean that you cannot call another deacon or the pastor, it is being done to better facilitate member care.
• Trunk or Treat has been cancelled for this year. We will use the candy donations collected thus far for the Christmas electric light parade.
• The next Men’s Prayer Breakfast will be November 2nd at Sid’s at 7:00 a.m. Please come and enjoy a devotional time, prayer and fellowship with your brothers.
• The November SBWM Ladies Day will also be November 2nd at the Fellowship Hall beginning at 10:00 a.m. Please plan to attend for worship with song, prayer, Bible study and fellowship around a potluck lunch. This will be the final Ladies Day of the year as there’s lots going on in December already.
• The Annual Business Meeting will be held November 3rd after the morning service. Make plans now to attend and vote for our church’s budget, workers and calendar for 2025 and to hear what the Council is considering for the future. On the table in the foyer are proposed nominations to the Workers’ List and a draft of the 2025 Calendar for your information. Take a look so you know what the Council is proposing. If you have any questions or concerns about either, this will give you time to speak with Pastor or one of the Deacons before the annual meeting.
• There will be a short meeting following the Business meeting on the 3rd to discuss the Christmas parade and the float build for it. Please stay and let us know how you will participate in this community event.
• The annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner will be November 9 at the Community Center. We are looking for volunteers to cook the turkeys the church is buying. The rest of the dinner will be prepared and shared by members of our church. This is a community outreach and in Thanksgiving of all the blessings God has given us this past year. Look for sign-up sheets in the foyer.
