CONGRATULATIONS to Herb and Bernace Korthuis who will celebrate their 66th wedding anniversary Tuesday, November 2!
JOINT REFORMATION WORSHIP SERVICE: Join us tonight at 6 pm at First CRC for our Reformation Day worship service with area CRCs. Pastor Ken Boonstra will bring us the message. An offering will be received for World Renew disaster relief in Haiti.
WORLD HUNGER SUNDAY is next week! Our offering will go directly to World Renew's work with people like the ones you've met during your devotion time. If you have not picked up the devotional from your mailbox, please do so today! Also, Peter Fish (and crackers) are still available in the narthex. Peter Fish will be collected next week.
COUNCIL TO MEET: Please pray for the full council as they meet on Tuesday. They will review the data from the congregational survey/profile and begin strategic planning for the coming year.
PING PONG TABLE NEEDED: If you have a portable ping pong table you are willing to donate to the church so that we can set it up in the basement fellowship room, please call Marv Apol. Thank you.
