WELCOME!

We extend a warm welcome to all who have come to

worship and fellowship with us this morning. If you are

a first time visitor with us, please take time to fill out a

“Welcome Card” located in the pew rack and place it in

the offering plate. Parents of small children (under age 3) may take them

to our Nursery, where a caring staff will supervise them.

We also have a Pre-School Program (ages 3-5) that runs

during our Worship Service in the Church Time Pre-

help you locate either one of these facilities.

Elementary School children are invited to take part in

our KidZone program which starts after the first part of

well on their short term mission trip to India. They are both

appreciating the opportunity that God has given to them asthey minister to about 100 women every day from 9:00 in

the morning until 8:00 at night. Please continue to

Special Baptism Service

We will be holding a special baptism service for Don

Mosher on Sunday, November 27th. Because of Don’s

condition, we do not plan to fill up the baptismal tank.

However, if you are feeling the Lord’s call upon your life to

enter the waters of baptism, please speak to one of our

pastors and we would be happy to make the appropriate

arrangements.

Thank You

The Missions Committee would like to thank those people

who came out and supported the Tea and Sale. We raised

$360.00 for our future International Missions projects. We

also wish to thank the Friendship Circle for supporting the

project by supplying items and operating the sale

table. The Muriel Bent WMS group provided unbelievabledesserts. We are hoping this will be an annual event so

those who attended may wish to spread the news next

year. Thanks again everyone for coming together for such

a good cause.

Church Treasurer

The Nominating Committee is seeking a Church

Treasurer. If you have been blessed with the gift of

financial expertise and would like to serve the Lord in this

area please call Sharon Higgins @865-2680.

Hopeful Gifts for Change 2011

If you would like to a make a charitable offering that will

truly make a positive change in our world, then “Hopeful

Gifts For Change” is a great option! Through our own

Canadian Baptist Ministries worldwide outreach you can

give a gift in someone’s honour of health, livelihood,

education or transformation. You can rest assured that

these gifts will be given as directed and be delivered in a

thoughtful and Christ-like manner. Over the past two years

we’ve been able to donate over $5500 in gifts that are

really making a difference in impoverished third world

countries and we’d certainly like to see that trend continuethis year. Please see the Missions committee or Nancy

Ohsberg if you have any questions. See the poster in the

lobby and feel free to take a copy of the catalogue home.

There will be someone in the lobby to assist you with this

after service on the weeks of Nov 20 th, 27th, Dec 4th & 11th.

This may be done here directly or by mail or internet:
