Every year we have a special Thanksgiving service and dedicate it to some special people in our church. One year it was for the special needs children and adults. Another year was for the faithful servants who have been faithful to our pastor and church for over 25 years. This year we dedicated the service to our 22 widows, who in some churches might be forgotten. Each widow received a special bag of Owens Publications items just for them. Then each received many bags of groceries. Each one individually had a picture taken with Bro. and Mrs. Owens, and that was really special. They also received flowers and were served by our deacons with front row seats. Each widow received a beautiful fall decoration for in their yard. Pastor Owens preached a sermon about the church’s responsibility of caring for our widows. An attractive bulletin was prepared listing all the widows’ names so the church could use it as a prayer list. In addition to all of that, Bro. and Mrs. Owens will be taking them all out to dinner in coming weeks. So many times these precious people need to know they are loved.

On Sunday night, October 30th, all our children 6th grade and under traveled to 25 locations on the church property to get candy from the adult Sunday school classes. This Candy Harvest is an exciting event for our church.

 

The addition of our orchestra has been a delight to our public services. God blesses those who play a musical instrument for our church.

 

The maintenance ministry has upgraded our balcony. This change has been a fantastic one. Now all who sit in the balcony can see the altar and lower floor action very well.
