4 Just a reminder to our church members from the Worship Board. Ever want to share a special date or memorable occasion? You always have the option to donate flowers for the altar to be used for Sunday worship or donate money and a flower arrangement can be purchased for you. The special event and donator will be listed in the Sunday bulletin and you can take the arrangement home with you to continue to enjoy it. Communion is generally served on the first Sunday of each month. There are some occasions when we need to adjust that schedule. Please check the calendar or bulletin for any changes that are made. Clean Out Refrigerator If you, or your group, have items stored in the Kitchen refrigerator they need to be removed by Wednesday, November 7, to make room for storing foods for the Country Fair. Thank you for your attention to this. Calling all bakers, candy makers, and jelly and jammers!!! The Country Fair Bakery needs your help to fill its tables with all of your goodies. Please! Get out your cook books, tie on your apron, and help us out. On Wednesday, November 14, Fair attendees will be here. They will be looking for cookies, pies, cakes, breads, candies, jams and jellies, pickles, snack foods like chex mix, individually wrapped treats and Christmas treats. Or your special something!

Bakery items can be left in the Burr Oak Room, or with Tammy, any time on Tuesday, November 13, or BEFORE 8:00 am on Wednesday, Fair Day. Thank you for your support of the 64 th annual Country Fair.
