v CONDOLENCES…Condolences to Robin Butler and family on the loss of her father.
v THANK YOU…A big thank you to all for the prayers, cards and notes of encouragement sent during my long hospitalization. A special thanks to Pastor Lane and Pastor Brent for their many visits and prayers. It’s great to be home! Ron Simpson
v VAN DRIVERS…First Church Basketball Academy for 5th/6th grades starts Monday, November 4. Please be an unpaid servant of God by signing up to drive the van, see Joel Johnson for details. Also, please sign up to set up for snack time with Bonnie Crook or Merna Furney. This mission cannot be accomplished without these two important and required components.
v THANKSGIVING BASKETS…The F.U.N. committee with God’s help will be heading up First church effort in handing out Thanksgiving Baskets to those in need in the community. Last year through the generosity of the members of our Church we were able to help several Marion County residents at a cost of around $25 per basket. We hope that God would move you to give what you can afford to provide for one family or more. For organizational purposes we need to raise the funds in the next 3 weeks so we can know how many families we can provide for and order supplies. We could also use volunteers to assist in the organizing and distributing the food baskets. Please let Heather know. Helping Hands is our partner in this mission. If you know of anyone or a family that might be in need of a Thanksgiving basket please let Heather know so we can add them to our list.
v POPCORN SALES…This is the last Sunday to purchase Trails End popcorn from Cubscouts of Knoxville Pack 362. This is the biggest fundraiser for the Cubscouts during the scouting year. We will have a representative present after Sunday's services October 27. For additional information, please contact Max or Trey Purvis ph. 641-842-5887.
