Update for November 1, 2009


Happy Guy Fawkes' Day, everyone!

For those of you who met us around the state for college tour earlier this week, it was great seeing you! We'll do it again in the spring!

Be sure to join our Facebook group, check out our twitter feed, and read our blog! Sunday School is high-tech, yo!

Announcements:
  • Fall Festival (and the infamous college class Sausage on a Stick... yum!), November 15, noon, front lawn
  • Catch Up Double Up Sunday is November 15. If you have fallen behind on your giving, this is the week to catch up. If you're in a position to give more than you planned, even the smallest gift could make an enormous difference.
  • Discovery Weekend: what are your spiritual gifts? Find out on November 20, 6:30pm. Contact mdethrow@comcast.net to sign up.
  • Blood Drive: November 22, 8am-12pm, Fellowship Hall.
  • This December, several of South Main's own are going to spend a Buckner Christmas in Peru, during which they will visit orphanages and distribute Christmas gifts and humanitarian aid. If you would like to contribute to the gifts, please bring them to Chelsea Wade's box in the 3rd floor church office, or you can bring them to Sunday school, and we'll take care of them. Examples of items needed include:
      • coloring books
      • plastic jewelry
      • bubbles
      • board games
      • Christmas CDs in Spanish
