In about five weeks, America's citizens will elect their president, all the members of the House of Representatives, one-third of the Senate and hundreds of state and local officers, as well as vote on a number of important issues. Understanding what crucial days these are for our nation, The Presidential Prayer Team continues to urge prayer for the elections.

Pray:

• •That those who are not currently registered will register to vote.



• •That citizens will carefully examine the candidates and issues from a biblical standpoint, and will vote in accord with God's truth as revealed in His Word.



• •That people willing to honor God and consult with God will be elected.



• •DEADLINE TO REGISTER - OCTOBER 8, 2004

Norman and Pat Wilson have given the following books to our library:

It's Not About Me by Max Lucado in honor of Roger Thomas All our lives we have been urged to look out for ourselves. What happens when that doesn't work? We should, according to best-selling author, Max Lucado, set our sights on a different goal; a God-centered life. It works and rescues us from a life that doesn't.

Then Sings My Soul by Robert J. Morgan in honor of Doug Thompson - This collection of 150 of the world's greatest hymns tells of the richness of many best-loved hymns and reflects the impact hymns have had on ordinary people.

Thank you to the Youth/Parent Ensemble for an awesome presentation of music for our worship! You folks are great - I appreciate your excitement and willingness to sing together and lead our church in worship!

Children's Choirs - Parents, we're still on the look-out for missing children - do you happen to know where they are? Sandra, Ritchie, Carol, Laura and I are hoping you will let us lead your children in music - Wednesday evening - let us help you grow your kids!!!

The JOY group will meet Tuesday, October 5, at noon for lunch and a surprise program. The menu is roast beef, mashed potatoes, frozen green lima beans, apples, and banana pudding. If you need to make changes to the permanent reservation list, please call the church office by noon on Monday.

With this in mind, the Baptist Women challenge each Sunday School class during the month of October to bring ten items per member and place them in a receptacle in your classroom. At the end of October, the class with the highest percentage of participation will be treated to breakfast, courtesy of the Baptist Women.

We have already seen evidence of Sunday School members stepping up to the challenge issued by the Baptist Women.

This week the WMU Mission Action representatives took 167 pounds of food to the SCCM that over the past few weeks you have brought to the shopping cart outside the church office. Thank you for your continuing participation in this mission project.

The Taylor House will be hosting an "Old Timey Day" on Saturday, October 16, at 10:00 a.m. They will have exhibits reminiscent of days gone by.

One of the goals this year is to have vintage cars circled around the driveway. Everyone is invited to attend. Last year there was a great turn out and everyone had a wonderful time!
