MARK THE CALENDAR:  When using the church building for meetings etc. please mark the day and time on the calendar, on the bulletin board by the women’s bathroom, so a reminder can be put in the announcements.  It is important for the office to have this information.
 
DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME ENDS:  Don’t forget to change your clocks Saturday night.
 
CHOIR & CHIMES NEWS:  NO PRACTICE ON 10/31.
 
PAPER PANTRY DONATIONS:  If any of you do not use the products given to you following a dental appointment please bring them in for the Paper Pantry distribution.  Remember that this outreach program works on donations only.  This past Thursday we served 87 people.  Our numbers have grown lately so please remember to donate to the Paper Pantry when you can.  So many people have told us how thankful they are for our help.  Hand out dates for  the rest of the year are:  Thursday, November 8th, 5-6:30PM and December 13th, 5-6:30PM.  There is only one hand out each month, instead of two, because of the holidays.

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.
