WOMEN’S GENERAL MEETING – The MLC Women’s semi-annual will be held Sunday, November 1st, at 8:45 a.m. in the church basement. A breakfast will not be served this time and we encourage wearing masks. Due to this meeting being held much later in the year than normal, if you hold a job in which the term expires this year and you no longer wish to hold the office, please recruit a replacement for your job by our meeting date. If we do not hear that you have a replacement, we will count on you holding the job for another term. Job terms are listed in our MLC Women’s 2020 Handbook. Thank you!  Jenny M.

OCTOBER & NOVEMBER MISSION PROJECT – It’s time to start filling shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child! Information is available in your mailbox at church. Every filled box is an opportunity to reach a child with the Good News of Jesus Christ! Box labels are available at the display in the narthex. There is also a cash donation receptacle available to leave your donation of $9.00 per box for shipping. If you prefer not to pack a box but would still like to participate in the project, donating towards the shipping costs is very appreciated! Filled boxes and shipping donations will be accepted thru Sunday, November 15th. 

BIBLES AT CHURCH – There has been some interest in having bibles in our church pews. For now, the church council encourages anyone who would like to use a bible during services to bring one from home.
