BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION

Preschool thanks you for your
continual support by cutting out
Box Tops for Education and Labels
for Education from grocery store
items that you purchase and
use. Box Tops are worth 10 cents
each and Labels get us free items for the classroom,
playground, and gross motor. If you didn't receive them
last Sunday, pick up sheets listing participating products
on the tables by the windows in the Welcome Center.
BUTTER BRAID
DELIVERY
If you ordered Butter Braids,
they will be available for
pick up beginning Monday,
Oct.
26,
after
2:30
p.m. Bagged orders with
your name on it will be in the Loomis Center freezer next
to the soda machine.
ALTAR FLOWERS
The flowers adorning
the chancel each week
are given to Gods glory
and
in
celebration,
thanksgiving
or
remembrance of special
events in our lives. If
you would like to donate an arrangement, please call or
speak with Joan Johnson (281-492-0488) or place your
name on the sign-up sheet on the table in the Welcome
Center. The cost per arrangement is $35 (checks made
payable to the Altar Guild) and openings remain for
November 8th and December 6th.

TRUNK OR TREAT
Join us October 31st from
6-8 pm at Brookshire
Brothers parking Lo on
Franz Road for Trunk or
Treat.
We
need
volunteers to come park
their cars on the side by
Walgreens starting at 5:45. Then you set out some lawn
chairs open your trunks and hand out treats to the local
kids. We also bring a few carnival style games like the
fishing booth and lollipop tree and spider ring toss with us
that we could use some help manning. It is a fun way to
share the light of Jesus with
our community. It is located
near one of our trailer parks
as well and every year those
kids and families really
appreciate having a safe
place to trick or treat. Our
preschool families also enjoy
it so it is a great chance to
continue to deepen the relationships and presence we have
in our community. The church will have some prizes and
candy already thanks to Rice Harvest but you are invited
and encouraged to bring your own treats and or carnival
games for in front of your car as well. Contact April
Ramsey to sign up or if you have questions.

COMFORT
DOG UPDATE
Exciting news!
Through
the
generosity of our members, we are officially moving
ahead with placement of our very own comfort dog. Stacy
Bretting, who will be our Top Dog (main coordinator) and
Carolyn Meyer, who will house and handle our dog, will
soon head to the Chicago area for initial training. We
have been very blessed in raising the initial cost of $6,000
to secure our dog and your continued support of this
Signature Mission as we move forward will enable us to
provide this very special caring ministry to many, not only
here in Katy, but around Texas. Thank you!!
