Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate Preschool Sunday with us! And a super-big thanks to all of our teachers who continue to go above and beyond to take care of those precious children!
This Sunday we will take the Lord's Supper together. A benevolence offering will be received after the service.
Sunday, October 23 immediately following morning worship we will have a chili cook off and dessert auction fundraiser to help the youth with the cost of summer camp. In addition to the chili we will have hot dogs and sides. The cost of lunch will be $8 for adults and $5 for kids.
On Sunday, November 6 we will celebrate 10 years with David as our Lead Pastor. We will enjoy lunch together following morning worship. The church is providing the meat and we are asking you all to bring a side or dessert to share.
Sunday night, October 23 at 5:00 PM we will be packing backpacks with goodies we have collected throughout the year to send to West Virginia. We hope that you will come be a part of this!
Manna has asked that our church collect 400 boxes of stuffing mix for their holiday bags. They need them by November 1. You can place these in the blue ministry bin in the atrium.

FBC Christmas Ornaments
Our kids (completed 1st-6th grade) are going to CentriKid this summer! (We will have more information about camp next week.) In order to help with the cost, we are going to be selling some beautiful Christmas Ornaments designed by Frankie Brown. Christmas ornaments will be $10 each and we will be able to keep $5 from every sale to help with the camp cost. Orders are due by November 6. Place your order in the atrium after church, by emailing Christy at ctarver@fbcthomson.org or calling the church office at 706-595-4252. We are so excited about these ornaments and hope that you will be too!
We are now casting for Drive-Thru Nativity. As you know, this event takes the help of so many people. If you are interested in Acting, Setup, Food, or Parking please contact Paige Boutwell to sign up. We will also have signups in the bulletin soon.

The Women’s Ministry Team is offering a fall event on Saturday, October 29, starting at 9:00 a.m. and ending at noon. This half day event will include a time of fellowship, worship, and Bible study. Our speaker will be Chelsey Patat and her topic will be Is God Speaking to Me? based on the book by Lysa Terkeurst. Each participant will receive a copy of the book. This event is for women from youth through senior adults, and there is no cost.
We will also have Joe and Frances McCommon’s daughter tell us about her daughter’s experience as a missionary through the International Mission Board. To help support her work on the mission field, she works for a company that makes leather women’s handbags and there will be handbags available for you to buy. Start your Christmas shopping by buying a handbag and support missions at the same time.
Please register by October 23. You may call the church office (706-595-4252), sign-up on the Sunday Connection Card or sign-up on our website (available Friday afternoon). Nursery will be provided for 0-3. Please let us know if you need childcare for older children (and tell us ages).
