Ladies Annual
Christmas Party
It's that time of year
again Ladies, where we
come together as a body
of believers to celebrate
the reason why we are a
family in the first
place. That's
right! The birth of
our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ! Due to
flooding of our
facilities, New Love in
Christ Church is
graciously allowing us to
use their facilities for
our banquet. So the
banquet will be held
Friday, December 9th at
6:30 pm at New Love in
Christ Church. We
will be discussing what
is under the gift wrap of
the ultimate gift God has
given to us. Please
come out for a night of
celebrating our Lord and
Savior.
Attention Secret Sisters:
Please Bring your gift
for your secret sister
this evening. If
you cannot make it and
you have a secret sister,
please bring that gift to
church and place it on
the table the Sunday
before this and I will
make sure it gets to the
banquet. If you are
not a Secret Sister, and
would like to participate
in a gift exchange,
please bring a $5 gift
with you to the banquet.
Also for those of
you ladies for whom this
is your first year with
us, do not fret because
when you come to the
banquet, I will explain
what a Secreet Sister is
and see if you would like
to participate in the
action for the next year.
Looking forward to seeing
all of you there!
God Bless,
Lori Zeppuhar

Flood Damage
Recovery
 Cost
of Rebuilding
Multipurpose
Room
On September 7th and 8th,
the
Multi-Purpose/Fellowship
Hall wing of our church
suffered severe damage
due to ground-water
flooding from Tropical
Storm Lee. The loss
we suffered is more than
real estate, space or
money; this loss has
truly affected pople and
ministry in our church.
Our nurseries, children,
senior adults, and many
other people and
ministries have been
adversely affected and
wwe are struggling and
praying in accordance
with Scripture that God
will meet us at our point
of need. After
speaking with
contractors, and
factoring in the needs of
our church to do Kingdom
work God has set before
us, the Pastors and Joe
Stiles are presenting
this plan and estimate of
the funds needed to bring
us back and better.
Step 1- Demolition
$1,000
Step 2- Excavation and
Drainage $15,000
Step 3- Flooring both
basement wings
$30,000
Step 4- Drywall and
painting $5000
Step 5- REstrooms
$1,500
Step 6- MPR Cabinets
$1,000
Step 7 - Kitchen cabinets
and appliances
$20,000
Step 8 - MPR Dividers
$18,000
Total: $91,500
Please prayerfully
consider how God might
use you to partner with
Him in meeting our needs.
We serve a mighty
God of grace and
provision (Gen 22:14;
Phil 4:19, John
16:24)

Pavilion Work
Continues
Getting
ready for
winter
Getting
the outside weatherproofed
with siding, soffit and
roofing is important prior
to winter setting in.
The garage/pavilion,
although presently the
store room for the contents
of the multi-purpose room,
will be a welcome shelter
for our church vans and a
place to hold church
activities.
Additional work is still
needed to fil under the
roof of the pavilion.
Watch for further
work day opportunities to
help in this important
job.
Please

717-657-0614 for mor
