Call Committee: Thank you to everyone who helped with and attended any part of the Lohman’s visit this week. Please keep Pastor Scott, his family, his current congregation, and Advent in your prayers that the Lord might lead them to a clear decision as to where He wants them to serve.

Time and Talent Request: This week we are working on schedules for November and December. Please contact Carolyn Jones ASAP if you have “do not schedule” dates.
