The SURPRISE at October 6th meeting were 8 youth from 4th to 7th grade who brought their guitars, played and sang for us during our
meal. REALLY, REALLY GOOD-- they even got a standing ovation!! All together with the kids, seniors and a few of their parents-- we had 58 in
attendance! For our meal we had BBQ, baked beans, chips and coleslaw. We voted to donate $900 to 3 different areas in and around the
Church. We filled the last remaining room for our Myrtle Beach trip which gives us 28 people going!! Our next meeting is November 3 at 7pm.

From our Parish Nurse… From our Parish Nurse… The blind man said, "Rabbi, I want to see". Mark 10:51 Ophthalmologists have many ways
of correcting vision problems. Blind people want to gain the use of their eyes, as the man who spoke to Jesus. Imagine someone who can see but
chooses not to. Often we fail to see. We are blind to see the needs of others and sometimes to see our needs. We fail to see our need for spiritual
growth and change or to see the sin in our life. Opportunities are offered here at the Fountain for us to grow spiritually but also to help each other
grow spiritually within and outside this community of faith. What does Jesus need to do to cause us to see? Jesus was and is the sight-giver. He still
restores eyesight today. Sometimes the most needed restoration is our spiritual eyesight. Leigh Ann Benson, RN, Parish Nurse, 558-5839
