Harvest Outreach

Wednesday is our “Harvest Party “we are having at our building in order to reach out to the neighborhood children and families as well as the families of Marylou’s Day school. Please be praying for a good number of families and kids! Time is 6:00 to 8:00 so we need you to be there at 5:30 to be ready to help. Yes we still need help with different games and food service. We are serving Hamburgers. On Sunday we need to take quick 30 minutes and pass out more flyers to neighbor’s doors and cars.

I hope you saw the ad in the Quad-City Herald this week! (Bulletin board) I want to thank Jeff and Audrey for providing this service in their paper and Cheryl for the writing. We are working with the Bridgeport Community church in a combined effort to serve our communities. Our teens and theirs will be helping in the operation of the Harvest Party at both locations. I appreciate our teens as they see we can join with other church groups to do community serve.

If you are not in one of our two life groups let me urge you to get in one and be involved with other church family members during the week. Doug and Sandy’s are Sunday night and Jeff’s and Audrey’s is Thursday nights. Check the times and invite a friend or family to come with you! Kathy has a ladies class at the building on Tuesday’s at 1:30 if you would rather go there.

We had 6 little girls and 1 boy last Wednesday night as we studied about the Angel appearing to Joseph. As you might have guessed we are working our way to Christmas. The last five girls are there because Ellen talked to them at the trailer park. There may be someone in Pateros you can talk to and tell them about our one hour program were we feed them and teach them about Jesus and do a craft. Time is 6:00 to 7:00 Pm. Marylou picks the five girls up and walks with them over to the building and Kathy and I walk them back. Laura is coming to clean-up while we move into the story and craft, which helps us to be able to accomplish what we can accomplish in the hour’s time. I want you to know that my sister Betty Whiting is paying for all the food we serve. Betty lives in Colorado Springs and was looking for a

Mission project and decided to help us. Be sure to thank God for her and hr help in this program!

Let me remind you that “Daylight Savings time ends next Saturday night. We are to “Fall back” or go back an hour! Everyone remember to set your clocks! Dave
