Things of Interest •

Work has been completed on the church steeple and the section of the roof around it that was leaking. Now, we are waiting on the new front doors to arrive so installation can begin. When everything is done it should look much better! This was made possible by an anonymous financial gift by two of our church members. We are thankful for those in our church who have the means to give in this way and are willing to share their financial blessings from God.

•

The activities building (gym) is being inspected for mold because of water leakage damage to the roof. Our Building and Grounds committee is working very hard to keep this and other areas of our buildings up to par. Pray for their efforts as they work to provide a safe and secure environment for our members. Our goal is to get this building up to code so that it can be utilized for ministry to the community.

Two Upcoming Community Events •

The community choir rehearsal for the Thanksgiving service will be held at the Methodist Church on Sunday, November 15, at 4:00 p.m. You are invited to come and sing with the choir, even if you don’t already sing in our Sanctuary Choir. We would love to have you in our community choir for that service. The actual service for the community will be held on Sunday, November 22 at 6:00 p.m. with a fellowship afterwards. There will be an offering taken at the service that evening.

•

The Community Christmas Celebration will be held at the Kenneth Shadowen Performing Arts Center on Sunday, December 6th, at 2:30 p.m. The program will feature a variety of musical selections by various groups in our area. Some include a community choir, children’s chorus from Paducah, instrumental ensemble from FBC Benton, a children’s theatre group, and the singing of the “Hallelujah Chorus” at the close of the program.
