Most Holy God,
Today we are embraced by the beauty of creation. The air is crisp. The sun is bright. We wind carried the smells of fall. Help us to pause, Loving God, and appreciate the wonder of nature. Help us also appreciate the love of family and friends. Those who walk with us on beautiful days such as today and also in the storms of night. We thanks You for our blessings. May we seek to be a blessing to others. In Jesus’ name we pray. AMEN.

As far as we know, John Stephens at the Bass Pavilion is our only member or friend that is hospitalized. If there is someone you know in the hospital, please contact the church office. Of course we will continue to pray for John.
Please pray for our church as members and friends are prayerfully considering their Estimates of Giving for 2014. So far we have received 53 Estimates. Our goal is 215 to 225. November 3rd is our Consecration Sunday. We would like for this process to be completed by then.
The CWF Bazaar is just around the corner. If you are doing crafts at home, please bring them to the church by MONDAY, October 28th, at 4:00 p.m. Baked goods are to be brought to the church by November 7th at 4:00 p.m.
The CACS/Civitan Dance is Friday. We need more 2 liter bottles of pop and cookies.
Trunk or treat is next Sunday, October 27. If you want to provide candy, bring it to the church office.
Sunday we are taking a few moments to celebrate the 120th Birthday of the church. You are invited to gather in the loggia at 9:45 for music, refreshments, and a few brief comments. There will also be a display of a few items from our past. Of course both worship services will begin at 10:15.
Grace and peace,
John McLemore
