Elder Selection The 13 elder nominees have been contacted and will gather on Wednesday at 7:30 PM in the sanctuary to create a ballot for the membership to join in the discernment process.

Food Drive In conjunction with today’s potluck, we are collecting donations in the breezeway for Connections Food & Resource Center.
Peppernuts Today, the peppernut dough is due and will be made into ropes which will then be frozen in preparation for baking next Sunday. Next Sunday, Oct 20th, a light lunch will be provided for those that want to participate in the baking process. So we know how many to prepare lunch for, please sign up on the provided sheet on the table in the foyer. There will be jobs for young and old, and a great opportunity to fellowship and work together.

Silent Auction for Day in the Country We are looking for one-of-a kind items. Examples: Quilts, Antique furniture, Large themed gift basket, a service you could offer, a catered supper… it can really be anything. Note: To the crafters, if you’re making several of the same thing they will go in the craft sale not the Silent Auction. Questions? Contact Susan Shantz 580-819-1776
Antique Car/Truck/Tractor Display at Day in the Country:
Do you have grandpa’s old tractor out in the barn? Or your dad’s vintage car/truck in the shed? This is your chance to get those antique vehicles out and give them a little sunshine! This will just be a chance for folks to enjoy looking at (not climbing on or in) the vintage vehicles in our community. It is not a judged event, it’s just for the fun of enjoying the memories and history! An entry sheet will be provided for you to list the make/model of your vehicle as well as any history you may know. So, get those vehicles up and running and feel free to invite any friends who may be interested in bringing their vintage vehicles. Contact Tonia Martin if you have any questions.
