In my article last week I thanked ahead of time those who helped with the Fall Festival.

I said that I knew it would be a success. That was an understatement! I cannot thank enough those who assisted in so many ways. THANK YOU TO ALL! Our next Church Wide project is the collection of our shoe boxes for Samaritan Purse. We will collect the boxes this Sunday Morning, November 6 in both worship services. Please have your boxes here at that time. They will be taken to the collection point on Monday afternoon. Our goal is to have more than 300 boxes. During the morning worship services we will have a time of prayer asking God to bless those who will receive these boxes in the name of Jesus. I am excited to be returning to our villages in Mali, West Africa. It will be good to be a part of the dedication of a new learning center in one village and to see those whom we have taught in the other villages. It will be exciting to share the stories of Gods Word to those who have never heard it and to encourage those who have believed. Pray for Toby Roland, Mary Lynn White and myself as we go. Sunday will be a great day in the Lord, you wont want to miss it. I look forward to seeing you then. Paul Memory VerseNovember 6 James 2:10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.

GERALDINE & RICKY TO PERFORM Ventriloquist Geraldine Ragan from Alabama will bring her buddy Ricky to perform at our Fellowship Club/Senior Adult Choir Fellowship on Thursday, November 17 at 11:30 AM. This will be in conjunction with our annual Saints Alive gathering with FBC Moultrie & FBC Valdosta. She has performed around the world and most recently with the Bill Gaither Homecoming program! The meal is free but reservations are required at this event. Everyone attending must sign up at bulletin board outside of the church office. SAINTS ALIVE RETREAT REPORT The Georgia Baptist Conventions Senior Adult Choir Festival in Toccoa, GA was a great success. A smaller but enthusiastic group made the 6 hour trip up last Monday. We were wowed by the beauty of the fall colors in north Georgia and even more moved by the singing and worship among other senior adult choirs. Join us Monday, November 7 as we return to our regularly scheduled rehearsal time of 10:30 a.m. MUSIC LIBRARY RETURNS Help is still needed putting music back into boxes and on the shelves. See me if you are willing to give some time to this project.
