THANK YOU NOTES Thank you First Baptist Church. The meal was fantastic and we greatly appreciate your willingness to serve our team. Humbled, grateful and blessed! Coach Martin Thank you to everyone who brought food and desserts, and attended the Men’s Wild Game Feast. We had over 60 men attend. It was a wonderful evening and we want to thank everyone who helped put this night together. Kevin Ewell & Men’s Ministry The Children’s Committee would like to thank everyone that donated candy for the Halloween Spooktacular at Rent One Park last Saturday. We were able to give out all of the candy and most of the tracts. We had four trunks that we used to pass out the candy. A special thanks to Jayne and Bret Jennings, Dennis and Cindy Mohr, and Lisa and Tim Darnell, and the college age group for donating their time and talents in decorating the displays. Although it was very wet, cold, and windy it was well worth the time to see all of the thousands of kids!!

The JOY Singers Present
A Dottie Rambo Musical Featuring Some of Dottie’s Gospel Classics
Narrated by Dr. Jerry Ford
Sunday, November 24, at 2:00 p.m.
following the Thanksgiving Luncheon
The journey that led Dottie Rambo to become such a prolific songwriter
began in Kentucky where at age eight she learned to play the guitar and
composed her first original song. Two years later she was a fixture on local
country radio broadcasts, but at age 12 she became a born-again Christian,
and ceased performing secular music, though she never denounced it. Dottie
went on to write over 2,500 songs. After receiving numerous awards,
Dottie’s songs live on today.
The Children’s Choir Presents
The Little Drummer Dude Sunday, December 8, at 6:00 p.m.

journey across the deserts of Persia...all the way to
Bethlehem! We will learn that God can do amazing
things through everyone, even if they are “just a
little dude.”
