There is only one hand out each month, instead of two, because of the holidays. COMMUNITY THANKSGIVING DINNER: Our dinner is on Sunday, November 18th with serving times 11:00AM, 12:00PM and 1:00PM. Everyone is welcome. If you know someone who might be alone or just can’t fix a Thanksgiving meal invite them to attend. NEWS FROM MALAWI: In November of 2018 we will hit our three-year anniversary of living in Malawi. The Lord has guided and taught us so many things in these three years. We continue to stand firm in the Lord, continuing to do the work to which He has called us, and we thank you for partnering with us by supporting us and holding us up in prayer. Our visa has been approved for two more years. Through special gifts, we now have solar panels in our home. Additional special gifts allowed us to assist our team in purchasing property and starting an income generating business to pursue ministry among the unreached at the lake. The sauce business, GOGO Sauces, is now fully Malawian run and continues to make a profit and provide the needs at Grace of God Orphanage. THE GIFT OF SONG: The Northern Michigan Chorale and Little Traverse Youth Choir present The Gift of Song on Saturday, November 17 at 3:00 and 7:30PM and Sunday, November 18 at 300PM at the Great Lakes Center for the Arts in Bay Harbor. Tickets are available at the door or call 231-439-2610. REMEMBER OUR SERVICE PEOPLE: With the holidays just around the corner it would be nice to remember our members who are in the service and might not be able to come home. I’m sure they would love to get a card or a note telling them they’re thought of. November 11th is Veterans Day, take time to tell a veteran thank you for serving.
