OCTOBER 11 – FRIEND DAY AND FALL FESTIVAL: The 10AM worship

service speaker, Don Lough, is the Executive Director of Word of Life. Don deals with people from all walks of

life, and proclaims Christ in the culture of some 60 different countries. Don is a graduate of Cedarville

University and Dallas Theological Seminary. He and his

wife, Darla, live in Schroon Lake, NY. They have four

children, one college graduate, Alyssa, two in college, Jonathan and Justin, and one in high school, Ashlyn.

Check out more of his life story online at

https://vimeo.com/28514499.

Illusionist Jeremy Biesecker will give a sample presentation during the

morning worship service. Jeremy will be the special speaker/evangelist in Jr. Church (in the Founders Room). He will be doing three shows Sunday afternoon as part of the Fall Festival. Interest in illusions started when he was 7 but using his interest

for the Lord took off through the encouragement of

his church youth group. Using his skills to present the message of Jesus is Jeremy’s passion. You can

read his biographical sketch online at

http://www.illusionswithjeremy.com/home/about-jeremy/.

After the morning service, the center piece of Fall Festival will be on our lawn in front of the Family Center. Between the end of the service and 1PM, the Festival will be open for our worship service guests. However, the climbing will not open until 1PM. From 1PM – 5PM, Fall Festival is open for the community.

Parking October 11 – Please follow the direction of our parking attendants instead of your normal routine. Handicap parking by the

carport will be closed today. You can still drop people off at the carport

before the morning service. For today, Handicap parking will be across

the front of the building near the cross window. We ask, if at all possible, that you park in the ATI Therapy parking lot, the business

bordering FBC to the south (on the same side of the road as Faith

Baptist on southbound Rt. 7).

(No Sunday School, Choir or Evening Focus Groups on October 11)
