FAITH With Action
Fall is in the air and winter clothing will be  needed soon. Check your closets for any unused coats, sweaters, scarves, hats and gloves that you might want to DONATE to needy families. We are also in need of TURKEYS for Thanksgiving. If you would like to donate a turkey, please drop it off at the church on Sunday. They will be handed out the Wednesday BEFORE THANKSGIVING. Either drop items off at the church, or arrange for pick up of items by contacting Dan Parcell at 928-892-2157.  Thank you!

HOME  GROUPS
We would love to see some new home groups formed. We know there are several members that have expressed interest in getting “plugged in.”  If you are interested in being a part of a new group, please sign up in the Narthex.

Water baptism

If you have never been baptized, or maybe you were baptized as an infant and would like to reaffirm your faith by experiencing a full immersion baptism, please consider signing up in the Narthex. We are planning a Water Baptism which would probably take place in December or January when the Show Low Aquatic Center reopens. Pastor Gary will have a meeting in advance to discuss and answer any questions related to  Baptism.
