WEDNESDAY ADULT CLASS

YOUTH-LED WORSHIP
Join us for worship this evening at 6pm, as our young men lead us through Scripture, prayer, and song. It is a great opportunity to not only encourage the young men, but also to be encouraged and challenged together. Be praying for them as they prepare.
COINS FOR CHILDREN
Remember to save your loose change to help with the support of the children who reside at Potter’s Children Home in Bowling Green, KY. Take one of the cans available on the table in the hallway and begin saving your change in it. The deadline for returning the cans will be Nov. 10.
WAYS TO MINISTER TO OTHERS
Your old eyeglasses (especially ones for reading) are needed for various mission points.
We are still collecting cartridges from Inkjets and Faxes to help with the support of the children who reside at the Shulz-Lewis Children’s Home.
“Box Tops for Education” and “Campbell’s Labels for Education” are needed by Mid-Western Children’s Home. Only the UPC label is necessary. To save time and shipping expense, please cut the label out before placing them in the box in the hallway.
If you want to help with any of these ongoing ministries, please bring the items and place them in the appropriate containers on the table in the hallway.
IN SEARCH OF THE LORD’S WAY
In the beginning God created male and female and united them as one, making the first family. God’s plan was for husband and wife to live together in a committed, married relationship for life.
Next week’s lesson by Phil Sanders is, “God’s Plan For Marriage”. The televised program can be seen locally every Sunday, 7:30a.m. on WTRF-TV, Ch. 7.
