The message of the hour was "Dancing Before God". Consider: does it matter who is watching you? We talked about dancing, all that it involves: emotion, dedication, strength, mobility and coordination.
Middle School Retreat at Camp Northward is November 3-5 p.m. Cost is $70.
Prayer concerns include Jim McCann, Dorothy Herron, Jeanine Cox, Melva Moore, Julie Sandy, people in Israel, Patty Thomas, Beth Bruin, Joyce Bishop, Jane Bentle, Gerald Barlow, Ricky Gillespie, Geneva Morris, Gaye House Adams, Diane Moorhead, Brenda Cobb, Tony Wright, Troy Greene, shut-ins, cancer concerns, our soldiers and our country.
Our sympathy to loved ones of Nedra English Marksberry.

Sunday was a blessing! We witnessed the baptism of a new believer, pray for Jake as he grows a closer relationship with the Lord.
The children’s message Recharging Our Batteries from Mark 1:29-39, taught how to lead a healthy life, both physically and spiritually. We must take care of ourselves and get rest, but its also so important to recharge spiritually – read the bible and pray. Time with other Christians being discipled will even strengthen that relationship.
Kip Gregg read John 14:15-17, the praise team sang Goodness of God and Bro. Dale’s message “The Holy Spirit: Our Helper In Prayer” from Romans 8:26-27 led the way for us to share Jesus with others.
Sunday night was also filled with growing and learning. Pre-K was busy learning about Jesus, the Bible Drill kids were enhancing their skills, Youth were meeting and it was the second meeting of Grace Marriage. Pray for the sick, the lost and for everyone to hear about and come to know Jesus.
