The cost of the weekend will be $25 per person, or two for $40. This is going to
be a great weekend, with wonderful times of fellowship, worship, and serving!
Contact Marshall if you have any questions about DNOW.
Wednesday, November 19th - 7:00pm
Attention Parents:
Is your son or daughter planning to attend DNOW? If so, and they have not yet
signed up, please take a few moments to fill out our DNOW Form on the church
website. If your student is unable to come for the entire event, that is okay. We
want our students to make this weekend a priority, but we understand that they
may have a prior commitment. Even if we have to work some things out, don't let
one event keep your student from missing out on the fun of this great weekend.
We want them to be there for as many of the activities as they can.
Nursery Workers Needed
Volunteers are needed to serve in the
church nursery on Wednesday nights
from 7-9 PM. If you can help, please
see Coite Sherrill.
Parents, we can use help in these areas; feel free to help in as many as you can:
 Have students stay in your home
 Help provide dinner at the church on Saturday
 Help with transportation to and from the church
There is a place on the form to check off the areas in which you can help,
or you can give Marshall a call to let him know of your availability.

Dear Beulah Family—
We are so excited for this short time to be
home with family and friends. At the end of
November, we will be returning to Peru,
where we have been working closely with a
girl’s orphanage this last year. The girls have
requested a Christmas Party when we return,
and we are hoping to make their Christmas a
memorable one. Sean and I want to surprise
them with stockings, which we will fill with
“goodies,” along with a Christmas meal, and a
special sharing of the Christmas story. We
need your help with the stockings. Does anyone have any used Christmas stockings, that
you will not be using anymore, that we could
use to bless one of these girls? If so, please
bring your stockings and leave them outside
the church office (in the box labeled PERU
STOCKINGS) by Sunday, November 30th.
If you have any questions, please feel free to
contact us. ~May God Bless You All~

How Does Our Giving
to the Lottie Moon Offering
Make an Impact?
IMB and gives to the Lottie Moon
offering, missionaries are able to share the gospel with
unreached people groups, train believers to start new
churches, assist in planting new churches, show Christ’s
love to those in distress, and work to spread the kingdom
of God. According to the IMB’s 2013 Annual Report, our
missionaries shared the gospel with 1.7 million people,
trained 23,000 nationals, helped plant 6,200 churches.
While those statistics are exciting, there are still 4 billion
people who remain lost. More giving will allow IMB to
send more missionaries to reach more people for Christ!
