Elder Selection Results Last Sunday, our annual elder selection process concluded, with 88 ballots received. We are pleased to announce that Chris Kimble and Jason Miller have been called to serve as elders. They will begin their three-year terms on January 1, 2027. We praise God for everyone who participated in this important process. We are especially grateful to the nominees and Wes Miller who willingly stepped forward in faith, even though he was not called to serve at this time.

Communion Next Sunday, November 22nd, we will be celebrating our identity in Christ through the partaking of communion during the worship service. Please prepare your hearts and minds to remember and celebrate the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Thanksgiving with the Shantz’s Eldon & Ellen will be hosting Thanksgiving in the Fellowship Hall and would like to extend an invitation to all who don’t have family gatherings this year. Please RSVP to Ellen (580-302-3117) and plan to bring a side dish to share.

Prayer Opportunity Global Disciples is hosting a prayer meeting via zoom for ministries they are involved with that cannot be reported on publicly because of security reasons on the third Friday of each month from 8 to 9 AM through December. This is an opportunity to be involved in God’s work among the unreached without having to leave your home! Contact Daryl Mast for the link to the meetings.

Pray For Our Future Don’t forget to pick up your blue card(s) under the mailboxes for your child to begin working on them. When completed you may put them in Faith Slagell’s mailbox. Remember if you need Michael to take your child’s picture, please let us know. We want everyone ages 2 through college. If you have questions, ask Faith.
