The death of a loved one can make the holidays particularly difficult. Our GriefShare ministry will be hosting a "Surviving the Holidays" seminar, with information for those grieving and ideas to help minimize the pain and distress during the holiday season. The seminar will take place on Saturday, November 8 at 9:45am. Please register through the church office by Thursday, November 6.
If you are not currently in a season of grieving, please be prayerful about who you may know (friends, family members, coworkers) who may benefit from this care. This seminar is a wonderful outreach to those around us who are hurting.

 On Sunday evening, we will gather in the Westside Room at 6pm for a special time of worship and fellowship together with John & Abigail Carr, students at Nazarene Theological Seminary who will be traveling to Northern Ireland next year to serve as missionaries with the Seminary's "365M" program. This year-long global mission experience combines graduate level studies with hands-on experience in cross-cultural settings around the globe.
A love offering will be taken at the service to help with the cost of their trip.
