You are invited to come to the church on Saturday, October 29 to decorate pumpkins. They will be on display for the youth Beef and Noodle lunch on Sunday, and members will “vote” on the best looking pumpkin, with all proceeds going towards the youth’s Christmas project.

As you may have heard, there is a shortage of pumpkins this year, so you will need to sign up so we can purchase the right number of pumpkins to decorate. Deadline to sign up os October 25. All youth and youth-oriented adults are welcomed!

Come one and come all to the annual chili supper held annually at Phyllis Reinke’s place. Bring a snack to share and the TNT class will provide chili, crackers, hot dogs and drinks as well as table service.

This annual event is a tradition as we welcome the cool nights and look forward to the warm fellowship.

Supper begins at 5:30.

The First Christian Church Golf Scramble was held October 1 at 9 a.m. at Bachelor Runn Golf Course. The temperature was 41 degreess and 8 golfers played.

The winning team was Pastor Woody, Mark Slade, Brad Howard and Randy Larimore.

Coming in a close second were C. J. Harmon, Jeff McIlRath, Patrick Myers and Phyllis Reinke.

Next year we will try for more golfers and a warmer day!

We had our picnic in the basement because it was a very rainy morning. We enjoyed chicken, hot dogs and lots of side dishes. Pastor Woody then gave us a Indiana History trivia test with 20 questions and a bonus question.

During worship, we viewed a video of Dr. Fred Craddock’s sermon “Tell It!” from our general asssembly last summer.

Original post:

Our annual picnic will be September 25, starting about noon. The church will provide drinks, fried chicken and hot dogs; and each family is asked to bring their own table service and a dish to share.

This Sunday will be special, too as we share during worship, a sermon preached by Fred Craddock at the General Assembly.

As we wind down summer and get ready for a long winter, plan on being at the picnic and sharing in the fellowship and good food.
