Update for November 15, 2009


We had a great turnout at the Fall Festival! Check out the photos on Facebook! As usual, the ever popular College-run Sausage-on-a-Stick booth ran out of its 400 servings about 2 hours into the festival. Epic win!

Currently, dozens of South Mainers are in Peru. Keep them in your prayers and read up on all their adventures on the Missions blog.

Announcements:
  • 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
      • journals
      • Children's Tylenol (including chewable)
      • vitamins for children and adults in large bottles
      • Children's cold medicine
      • antiperspirant
      • antibiotic cream and band-aids
      • diapers
  • College Mission to Collique, Peru, May 22-29, 2010, organized by Tallowood Baptist Church. The cost is $1,500 per person. We will be ministering through worship, VBS, sports camps, construction, and painting. We'll also get to sight see in Lima. At least one SMBC college student is going, so you should too! Contact Chuck.Westbrook@interfaceflor.com if you are interested in going.
