All women are invited to join us for an evening of devotions, information, planning, and, of course, food and fellowship. Disciple II starting Sunday, October 12th, led by Rev. Bill Snotherly. “This 32 week study offers a deeper examination of Genesis, Exodus, Luke and Acts, emphasizing the rhythm of coming to God and going for God… approaching all experiences of life as opportunities for faithful witness and service.” The class will be held in the old fellowship hall located upstairs in the education building. Contact Bill at [email protected] for questions. Please sign up in the narthex by October 5th. Nursery and programs for children are available. Conversation Cafe on Caregiving Are you now a caregiver or do you see that role in your future? Attend an upcoming Stephen Ministry Conversation Café session to hone your skills in taking care of a loved one. It takes patience, strength, diplomacy and lots of love to be a caregiver. Share your caregiver advice and learn from others who are going through exactly what you are. This informative conversation will be guided by Transitions LifeCare. Light refreshments will be served. This program for Caregivers will be held on October 12th at 3 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall. New Member Classes There are two new member class sessions coming up. October 19th & 26th at 9:45 am (during Sunday School hour) and November 9th and 16th at 9:45 am. You must attend two sessions. You may attend both October sessions or both November sessions or you may attend session 1 in October and session 2 in November. Each class will take place in Donald’s office. Please let me know if you have any questions. If you have decided you would like to join Wake Forest UMC please plan to attend a class. Help Needed If you know of someone who would be available to help move boxes or would be able to yourself please call the office for details. There is a person in the church who has recently moved and would like to hire someone to help them. A volunteer would also be welcome.

The Skeeter Run 5K is a part of the NC United Methodist Churches No More Malaria campaign. The Heritage District of the United Methodist Church is working to raise money to support Imagine No Malaria. The Skeeter Run 5K is a part of this campaign to help wipe out malaria. Unlike many other diseases that are awaiting a cure, malaria was eliminated in the U.S. in the 1950s. However, in Sub-Saharan Africa, malaria continues to kill a person every 60 seconds. But there is hope! Imagine No Malaria is part of a global partnership and together with our partners; our generation can beat malaria once and for all. http://imaginenomalaria.org/ Location: Wake Forest United Methodist Church 905 S Main St, Wake Forest, NC 27587 Date & Time: 10/12/2014 3pm (Bib pick up starts at 1:30pm in FLC) Our Race Registration Website: http://skeeterrun5kwakeforest.itsyourrace.com/ (If you choose not to race, donations may also be made here) Facebook Page: Imagine No Malaria Skeeter Run 5k- Heritage District Pricing: Pre-register online - $20/adult, $10/child (ages 5-10), 4 & under free Day of race - $25/adult, $15/child (ages 5-10), 4 & under free Questions: contact race coordinator – Cynthia Moore – 919-610-1861 [email protected] Want to help?
