Thank you one and all for the lovely flowers that
were displayed in the Sanctuary, they were lovely.
Don, Jane & Dirck Harris
Thanks for the get well cards and the phone calls I
received to check in on me during my recuperation
period with my knee surgery. A special thank you
to the two dear friends who brought us food. It
sure was a life saver. Thanks for the many prayers
and for your love.
Blessings, Brenda Geiman

Last week the Joy Village received four children from the Huruma Crisis Center. While each child has a history of
neglect, they were welcomed with hugs and smiles by their new Joy Village family. As I looked at these smiling
faces I had to ask myself.where are their families?....who are these children?
...what has brought them to the Joy Village?
Let me share with you a few sound bites from these childrens past that will help us to identify needs, better
understand the challenges ahead...and see the greatness of our God.
Total orphanMother died of AIDSat 14 months, found abandoned
Father a street boyMother a street girl and died during delivery
Elder brother disabledNo one claimed the child
Alcoholic grandmotherAbandoned at the gate
I have to pause and thank our Lord for bringing these four children through
situations I cannot imagine. I am certain the harshness of these
sound bites will quickly be turned into an Oasis of Hope for them.
Thank you for all you do to make this miracle possible,
Rudy Miller

"OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD" The excitement of receiving a
little box of gifts from someone you don't even know can be life changing. Imagine the joy on a child's face when they receive their gifts! In the
LWW lobby you can find a simple empty shoe box. All you have to do to
spread JOY, HOPE and LOVE around the world is fill the little box
with gifts. Each box will be a Missionary from Central bringing a smile to
a child's face. Pick up your box and a "How to pack your shoebox gift"
pamphlet today. Decide if you want to surprise a Boy or Girl, select the age group,tape the
label to the top of the box and fill the box with Happiness. Please include a Check for $7 in
the envelope provided to help pay for shipping and place it in the box. Checks should be
made payable to Samaritan's Purse with Operation Christmas Child on the memo
line. Full Boxes should be returned to the LWW lobby by November 8.
CONTEMPORARY WORSHIP:
We are sad to say farewell to our beloved praise team member, Jim Sharp, as he
begins his new job in Austin, Texas. We will miss you, Jim! Thank you for everything youve done and every gift youve shared with us.
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship
God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.
Hebrews 12:28-29

Beginning with the November Window, the Finance Committee will provide a monthly recap of the
year to date Church Finances. These will always be one month behind. You are receiving the performance
through the end of September, 2015 with this newsletter. You should note that the monthly deficit between operating budget contributions for September 2015 lagged the monthly expenses by $7181. Year to
date, expenses lagged contributions by $79,137. We fortunately have had investment income from our
trusts of $68,418 that partially offset this deficit. Through September, we have also had to withdraw
$20,000 from investment principle to insure we have sufficient cash to meet our obligations. Since we are
entering the final two months of 2015, we ask you to fulfill your annual pledges to ensure we finish 2015
in a strong financial position. If you have any questions on Centrals finances, please contact Missy Igou,
Don Wissner or Tim Miller.

Cold Weather Drop In Shelter Meals: An opportunity is available to provide a warm meal on a cold night to homeless members of our community. Central continues to reach out
and help where needed as we provide meals the first and third
Fridays from December through March at the Cold Weather
Drop in Shelter located at 195 Loudon St. Eight warm nourishing
meals for hungry men and women of our community. Meals and a beverage should
be delivered to the shelter at 7:00. The shelter provides utensils and dishes. All we
have to do is deliver the meal. Bring the meals in disposable containers. There is a
sign up sheet on the Mission bulletin board across from the office. This is a wonderful
opportunity to serve our community. Partner with another family to share the meal
preparation. If you have any questions please call Bill McKelvie at 477-2132.
Central will be ringing Bells again this year for the Salvation Army. We will be
ringing at the Butcher Shoppe on Saturday Dec 5 from 11 am to 7 pm. This is a
great location to ring because you will be inside! There is a sign up sheet on
the Mission bulletin board across from the office. We need 2 ringers per hour
so please sign up for 1 or 2 hour shifts. If you have any questions please call
Bill McKelvie at 477-2132. A little bit of time will go a long way for those less
fortunate in our community.
