-Bulletin Wrap: If after hearing Debbie Vik last week you were wondering how to give to the Great Commission Fund, check out the bulletin wrap this week.  It lists several ways to give directly to the Great Commission fund.  You can also mark your envelope or put GCF in the memo line of your check.  You can also check it out online at:  https://secure.cmalliance.org/give/ 

 -Chili Cook Off- The chili cook off is this Sunday afternoon from 3:30pm-6:30pm! Come join the fun at Ed and Emily Yaresh’s farm, N9054 Hustisford Road, Watertown. Donations of cornbread and desserts are welcome. See you there!

 -Thank you gardeners- Last Saturday was a flurry of activity around here getting the garden beds ready for winter.  Thank you so much if you came out to help with that huge task!

 -Snack donations:  Many Sunday mornings our families with young kids are rushing and running to get to church. There’s outfits to be picked out, shoes to be put on, Bibles and diaper bags to be remembered... Ope! Pretty sure we forgot to feed the kids! You might remember the struggle. We’ve been providing some small snacks to the kids and would like to seek your support in the way of a Sunday snack collection! Here are a few items that store well: Goldfish Crackers, Cereal, Crackers, Cereal Bars, Granola Bars, Dried fruit, Cookies, Pretzels, Puff Corn

-Christmas Shoeboxes-  The Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Project is underway! Please consider taking a box(es) home to fill with the suggested items and prayerfully pack. All filled boxes need to be returned by Sunday, November 17th, so they can be sent to their final destinations around the world for children to receive. The $10 shipping will also help track your box to know what country the child lives in who receives your gift. This is an excellent way to share the Gospel!

 Don’t forget to sign up for the shoebox packing party on November 1st at River Valley from 6:00 pm -7:30 pm for all ages. More details can be found on the River Valley Facebook Page. For more information contact Linda Oberbrunner 262-442-5890 or Meg Heidner 920-296-7359.  You can sign up in the Connection Center or on the resources tab of the website so we can plan for snacks and the number of boxes.
