Time Change

Good Friday evening to each of you. I trust that your week went well. We have lots of things happening around our church over the next few weeks. So get your pen and calendar and mark the dates!

First off, don't forget to "fall back" Saturday evening before going to bed. That way you can make sure you arrive on time.

There will be a XYZ meeting Friday, Nov. 9th. The meeting will be held in the fellowship hall at 6:30pm. The whole church is invited to this function. Entertainment will be provided by "The Edisto Singers". A meal of turkey and dressing will be provided. So come on out and join in the food, fellowship and fun! Don't forget to invite a friend or two to join you!

The first annual craft bazaar will be held on Sat, Nov. 17th from 9am-until. I am sure we are all in for a treat with the crafts that have been made. Come out and show your support. Proceeds will go toward the purchase of a new church bus. Items such as Christmas decorations, craft, gifts, etc. will be for sale. There will a soup and cornbread lunch available that day as well.

Flower Committee: anyone wishing to place flowers in the church in honor or memory of a loved, please put your name on the flower calendar locaoted on the bulletin board by the counting room!

Attention youth and children: you have many activities planned for the next few weeks. The youth will have a chili/baked potato fundraiser Sunday, Nov. 11th immediately following the morning worship service. There will be a Youth Committee meeting after the fundraiser.

Also, SNAC will take place after the evening worship service on Nov. 11th. Then on Nov. 30th the youth group will go ice skating.

If you have a child (or if you know of another child) who wants to participate in the children's activities, make sure you listen out for information pertaining to upcoming events for your child.
They don't want to miss out on the fun and fellowship!

The Community Thanksgiving Celebration will be held at North Pentecostal Holiness Church Wed., Nov. 21st. Tis a wonderful time to come together with our brothers and sisters-in-Christ to give thanks to the One who makes it all possible!

The Community Tree-Lighting and Christmas parade will take place on Sunday, Nov. 25th at the town square.

Our pastor will be attending the South Carolina Baptist Convention in Florence, SC. Let's remember him in our prayers as he travels to and from the convention.

The fall associational revival will be held Nov. 4-6. The services will be held at First Baptist Church of Orangeburg. The Director of Evangelism at the South Carolina Baptist Convention will be the guest speaker.

And two other very important things taking place this month is Homecoming and Thanksgiving. Homecoming is this Sunday, Nov. 4th. It's always a good time to catch up with those who have moved away and come back just for homecoming. There is always lots of good food and desserts to partake of. And the fellowship is wonderful as well. So if you know of anyone who would be interested in attending, make sure you get in touch with them soon. There will also be special during the service. The children, youth and adult choirs will be joining together for a special performance. It isn't every day that the three groups get to perform together. Am sure everyone will have a wonderful time (as always).

We must remember to give thanks for all that we have been blessed with. Thanksgiving is a day that provides that opportunity. Although we shouldn't wait until Thanksgiving to give our thanks to the Creator and Lord. He has so richly blessed us and deserves the credit for our blessings. Nothing would be possible without Him.

I believe that covers all I have for now. I hope everyone has a great weekend. Take care and God bless!

In Christian Love,

Tina :-)
