THANKSGIVING TURKEY DINNERS
The missions committee of First United Methodist Church is again organizing the annual Turkey drive. A Thanksgiving dinner will be given to families who registered at the last Food Pantry distribution.
First United Methodist Church will purchase the frozen turkeys. The community churches are being asked to supply the items on the pan list to go along with the turkeys.
Items needed are:
Aluminum roasting pans for the turkeys
Rolls regular aluminum foil
5 lb. bag of potatoes
Cans of green beans
Cans of corn
Cans of cranberry sauce
Packages of brownie mix
Fresh onions
Packages of cornbread mix
Cans of diced tomatoes
Cans of chopped green chilies
Cans of chicken broth
Place donated items in the Fellowship Hall on the table against the wall. Deadline for this project is Thursday, November 15th.
SPECIAL CALLED CONGREGATIONAL MEETING will be held on Sunday, November 11 immediately following the worship service. The Congregation Council voted on Sunday, Oct. 28 to recommend to the congregation two projects for approval.
The first project for approval is retrimming, caulking and painting bottom windows on the Sunday School Building by Chris Dyer Construction at a cost of $2,600. The need for this repair is to rotten wood around the windows. The funds for this project will be taken from funds leftover from the roofing project in the Keep St. Paul Beautiful Fund.
The second project for approval is to replace the phone system for the church plant in the amount of $2,941 by Steve Whitson of Menard. The system will closely match the system we currently have. The main board of the phone system suffered a power surge and only works occasionally. The funds for this project will be taken from funds leftover from the roofing project in the Keep St. Paul Beautiful Fund.
PRAYER LIST: Please lift up the following people in your prayers: Martha Smith, Lynn Ake, Lou Etta Probst, Margaret Mason, Clemie Greenburg, Dan Jacoby Jr., Lorene Dunlap, Melody Kimbrel, Charlie Schmidt, Sally Lane, Beverly Russell, Tammy Pintor, and those serving in the military.
