-Community Fellowship Night dinner at 6PM.  The menu this week is Beef Pot Roast, Garden Salad, Dinner Rolls, Steamed Potatoes and Steamed Carrots and Peas.  A hearty dinner for a fall evening!  Please note we are short a couple of volunteers this week, so if you can come help set up at 5PM or help serve, that would be great.  Men's group will not be meeting after dinner, because...

Saturday, Nov 4

-Fall Bazaar runs from 9AM to Noon in the Friendship Center.  The Scouts are making donuts this year to raise funds for camp this summer.  $1 per donut!  $10 for a dozen!  Find crafts to give this season or find that special Christmas decoration for your home for the holiday.

Sunday, Nov 5

-Stewardship Commitment Sunday.  By now, you should have received your Estimate of Giving Pledge Card.  If you haven't please let us know and we will get you one, or you can email your estimated pledge for 2024 to Ellen Barton at fpcfinsec@gmail.com.  Remember, God loves a Cheerful Giver!  Thank you for continue to support the important ministry and mission of First Pres!

-All Saints Remembrance This Sunday we will read the names of those saints who have gone before us who have impacted our lives. For those who will be in worship, you will have an opportunity to write out those names or say them during our Prayer Time. If you won't be with us in person, you can email the names of your spiritual predecessors to churchofficelg@gmail.com and we will collect them for Sunday.

Another way you can honor your family and friends is by making a tribute donation in memory, or in honor, of their life and faith. This is a beautiful way of saying “thank you” to your spiritual predecessors: parents, grandparents, siblings, pastors, Sunday School teachers, seminary professors, youth directors, choir directors, Bible study leaders, chaplains, and dear friends.  Gifts can be directed to the General Fund, Youth Scholarship Fund, or one of the other funds we have at the church.  If you have any questions about where you might give, let us know!

-And Happy Anniversary!  The Hudson's will be providing refreshments after church on Sunday to say thank you for calling us as your pastors 14 years ago!
