YOUTH CHOIR ANNUAL FRUIT SALE

You may order fruit by:
• Talking to any Youth Choir member • By filling out an order form located throughout the
building or online (click the fruit sale banner on NewnanFUMC.org)
• Or by going to lbg.org and using the code: GA10727

PRAYERS FOR THE LOFTONS
Please remember to keep the Lofton family in your prayers (Adam, Michele, Olivia, Elisabeth, &
Emily) as Adam heads to Sierra Leone with the CDC to be a part of their efforts to fight the
Ebola outbreak in West Africa.
Notes of encouragement can be sent to Michele and the girls @ 14 Glenleigh Way | Newnan, GA
30265
Would you commit to pray Psalm 91 every day
for 91 days for West Africa?
Beginning on Monday, Oct. 28 and ending 91 days later on Sunday, January 26. Psalm 91 has come up again and again in my conversations with Young Life teams in Liberia and Sierra Leone as a source for strength and hope. It seems appropriate and
powerful for us to join them in this.
-Thank you—Rev. JoAn Kinrade
