Please keep in prayer those attending the Men’s Retreat today.

Once again it’s time for Operation Christmas Child! Shoeboxes and

informational materials are available in the narthex. You can fill these boxes

with toys and other appropriate gifts that will be sent to children around the

world. Boxes will be collected Nov. 15 and 22.

NorthStar “Thrive” Fall Youth Gathering—Youth will meet at Westwood

at 3:30 p.m. today to carpool to Calvary Hill Baptist, where we’ll join youth

from churches all over Northern Virginia for worship, dinner, and fellowship.

We’ll also hear about the increase of homelessness in Northern Virginia.

Please bring a pair of new or gently used winter boots for donation to shelters

in our area.

Adult Seminar—Dr. Abernathy and Rev. Gray continue with the second

week of a four-session video-based seminar on the life of Dietrich

Bonhoeffer. We are discussing the major themes of Bonhoeffer’s writing and

his impact on the faith community in Germany during World War II and

throughout the world today. We begin at 6:30 p.m. in Room 204.

The popular Semi-Annual ECHO Yard Sale will be held this Saturday, Oct.

31, 8 a.m.-noon at St. Bernadette’s Church gymnasium, 7600 Old Keene Mill

Road. Proceeds benefit ECHO.

Trunk or Treat Is Coming this Saturday and we still need more cars! This

super fun event for everyone is this Saturday, Oct. 31, from 4-5 p.m. (setup is

at 3:30). This is a chance for kids to “treat or treat” from cars right in our

parking lot. See our poster in the narthex for trunk decorating ideas and to

sign up.

Next Sunday we will begin taking orders for Christmas Poinsettias at the

Welcome Center. Plants are $10 each, payable at time of order in cash or by

check.

Daylight Saving Time Ends next weekend. When the Halloween excitement

on Saturday has passed, remember to set your clocks back one hour. Don’t be

a disappointed early bird on Sunday morning. Fall back!

ECHO Thanksgiving Baskets—If you would like to provide a Thanksgiving

basket to a needy family identified by ECHO, please contact Dick Marvin by

next Sunday, Nov. 1. This is a great project for a family or Sunday School

class.

A Church Work Day is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 14 at 9 a.m. Grab your

rake, gloves, leaf blower, etc. and join in this churchwide event.

The Quarterly Church Conference will be held Sunday evening, Nov. 22, at

7 p.m. in the music suite. Please mark this date.

This week we’d like to stock up the Church Food Pantry on peanut butter.
