Feed the Hungry
We can all help feed hungry people. On Sunday, November 2, bring snack
items to the Missions Expo in the Gym. These will be collected and given
to the Baptist Friendship House in New Orleans, a Hunter Street ministry
partner. This is a North American Mission Board ministry that ministers
to the needs of women and children in NOLA. Bring the following:

Snack size protein/meal bars
Pop-top fruit cups or puddings
Cans of Vienna sausages
Small packs of cookies
Packs of peanut butter crackers
In addition to snack items, will you also contribute money toward world
hunger relief? Funds collected will help our International Mission Board
missionary partners in Niger feed hungry children. 100% of any money
given goes directly to the missions field.

Missions Sunday
On November 2, our church will celebrate all that God has done
this year through missions and will provide opportunities for
you to discover where God may be leading you to go in 2015.
You’ll hear stories from our members, have a beignet in the
gym and even see live goats and learn how they are connected
to missions. Most importantly, you will learn how you can pray,
give and go.
