Stamp Ministry

The Candi Williams  Mission group is asking everyone to save their stamps they receive on letters and cards.  This Mission Group has taken this as their project this year to help the Christian and Missionary Alliance.  The income from the sale of the stamps goes to support the publishing and distribution of new Spanish language curriculum for Sunday Schools in Latin America.  Please leave 1/4 to 1/2 inch border around stamps.  A drop-off box is in room N110.

Radio Broadcast

We can now be heard on WFMH 95.5 or WWW.big955.com on Sunday mornings at l0:30

Youth Stuff   This Sunday evening the youth are going to watch the movie "Passion of Christ" at 5:00 at the Nest.  The movie will last about two and half hours.  The movie does have some graphic scenes and therefore each person will need to have a permission slip signed by a parent.  The things that make the movie graphic are the events and torture that Christ experienced while heading to Calvary.  This movie is very moving and it will be a serious time of reflection.  Hope youth and parents will join us for this special time!

Young at Heart    We all had such a great time when we did "Show and Tell."   On November 9, 2009 at our luncheon we want to do this again.  So start now thinking about what you want to bring to share.
