LEANING ON THE EVERLASTING What a fellowship, what a joy divine, Leaning on the everlasting arms! What a blessedness, what a peace is mine, Leaning on the everlasting arms! Leaning, leaning, Safe and secure from all alarms; Leaning, leaning, Leaning on the everlasting arms. O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way, Leaning on the everlasting arms! O how bright the path grows from day to day, Leaning on the everlasting arms PASS ME NOT Pass me not, O gentle Savior, Hear my humble cry; While on others Thou art calling, Do not pass me by. Savior, Savior, Hear my humble cry, While on others Thou art calling, Do not pass me by. Let me at Thy throne of mercy Find a sweet relief; Kneeling there in deep contrition, Help my unbelief.

Wednesday Night Meal Update

Due to increasing food costs, it will be necessary to increase our Wednesday night meal price after the first of the year. Those increases have not been determined yet but we will try

to keep prices so that the meal is affordable for everyone.

MISSIONS

South Asian Peoples In the Book of Acts, after Paul and Barnabas finished their first mission-ary journey, they returned to the church that had sent them off and "reported all that God had done through them and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles" (Acts 14:27b, NIV). An Antioch Gathering will be held on November 3 in South Carolina and on November 14 in Virginia to report what God is doing in the six southernmost states of India, along with its surrounding islands. Please pray that those who are invited will come with open hearts, asking, "How can my church more specifically partner to see God's kingdom come and His will be done in this area where nearly 6.5 million people are still unengaged and un-reached?" Pray that a passion for the nations will permeate local bodies of believers so that "missions" will be seen as not just a volunteer trip here or there for one or two weeks, but rather the body itself having a passion to join God in His mission "to seek and to save the lost" (Luke 19:10b).
