You may contribute by using your regular giving envelope, putting a dollar amount on the “monthly mission” line, or by inserting your check (memo line-OCC) in a pew envelope. Information for filling a shoebox for this ministry is on the narthex table. The boxes are due November 12. Thank you!
PRAYER NEEDS – The pastoral prayer will include needs that are submitted before the service. Other needs will be prayed for by the prayer team after the service.
50th ANNIVERSARY SIGN-UPS – There will be sign-up sheets outside the sanctuary for you to indicate your intended attendance (for food purposes) at the 50th anniversary activities, and to provide food, if willing, for the Sunday meal. See Russ Fry.
CDs OF FBCM’S 50-YEAR HISTORY will be available for sale at $10 each. Proceeds will benefit an inhouse project to be announced at a later date. Also, a volunteer is needed to coordinate documentation and photography for celebration events on Oct. 21st and 22nd. Please see Sandy Ortigoza for both the CDs and volunteering.
