Happy Monday!

Greetings to all! I hope your Monday went well. All in all I had a pretty decent day. I also hope that you took a moment to let your boss or bosses know how much you appreciate them. Yes, it was National Boss Day today. As employees, we all like to feel appreciated now and then. But what about our employers. Sure they can rub us the wrong way and at times make decisions that make us scratch our heads in wonder and amazement.....but they can also be a blessing. I am very fortunate to have 2 great bosses. They are both Christians and love the Lord. For that, I am truly thankful! Hats off to all the bosses out there and many thanks for all you do!

We have a lot going on in the upcoming weeks at North FBC. I hope you have made note on your calendars of the events taking place. If not, you will want to do so in order to make sure you don't miss out on the fun and fellowship!

First of all, Ebeneze United Methodist Church (located at Hwy. 178 and Hwy. 3) will be having revival this week. It started last night and ends Wednesday, Oct. 18th. Services begin each night at 7pm. Their guest speaker for this week is the pastor of St. Paul United Methodist Church in Orangeburg. Everyone is invited to attend!

Women on Mission will meet this Wednesday, Oct. 18th at 7pm. Remember to bring your school supplies. As I have mentioned before, some items that are needed are: pencils, markers, colored pencils and 3 ring binders. Am sure other items will be greatly appreciated as well.

Don't forget to bring your canned goods on Wednesday nights as well. These items will aid in meeting some of the needs of others in the community. We have been richly blessed with what we have and this is just a small way to give back some of what God has given us!

The instrumental group has resumed their practice on Sunday afternoons. They are preparing another musical selection for November. They did a fantastic job with their last performance and I know we are all looking forward to hearing them play for us again!

The choir is about to begin work on the cantata. It is slated for Sunday, Dec. 17th during the evening worship hour (6pm). If you are planning to join the choir, please come join us next Sunday. Practice is immediately following the evening worship service.

The youth will be cleaning and preparing for the upcoming Fall Festival. Their clean up day will be Saturday, Oct. 28th. They need to meet at the church at 5pm that day. After their hard work, they will go midnight bowling.

Church-wide clean up is Saturday, Nov. 4th. Everyone is encouraged to help clean up around the church in order to prepare for Homecoming that Sunday (Nov. 5th). Homecoming is always an exciting time. We all look forward every year to seeing those old familiar faces. Remember to bring your best dish. But most of all, just make plans to be in attendance that day!

I think that covers all I have for now. I hope the remainder of your week is wonderfully blessed!

Love in Christ,

Tina :-)
