Our annual Charge Conference is at 7 p.m., November 15, at Trinity. This will be a joint meeting with Bell City, Advance, and Sadler’s Chapel participating. The churches meet together in order to share their outreach ideas to better serve God in their respective communities. It gives all participants new ideas that could be implemented in their churches. Our District Superintendent will conduct the conference at which time annual reports from the churches are presented. The meeting is open to everyone.

SAMARITAN SHOE BOX TIME AGAIN: This project is for children in disadvantaged countries. Just select a firm shoebox or a plastic shoe box and fill it with gifts for a boy or girl in age categories 2-4; 5-9; 10-14. If may include a picture of you or your family, write a short note, and always pray for the child who will receive your box. Add a check for $7 to Samaritan’s Purse. Secure with a heavy rubber band around the box and bring it to the church by Nov. 21. “Your gift of love may be the door God uses to open a child’s heart to Jesus Christ,” stated Franklin Graham, President of Samaritan’s Purse. Gift ideas and labels are on the table in the foyer or may be downloaded at www/samaritanspurse.org/

CALLING ALL BELL RINGERS! Our help is needed to “ring that bell” during this holiday season for the Salvation Army at the Dexter Wal-Mart. Daeoc organizes this important ministry in this area. So many people are supported through the work of the Salvation Army in countless natural disasters, fires and other emergencies. Will you help us “ring that bell” this year? Please contact Pastor Susan or Tammi Robinett, tpullum@daeoc.com who coordinates this effort.


TUMC GIRLS met on Tuesday night for fun and business. Mary Thorn gave a very inspirational devotion. As it happened to be Mary’s birthday, Lara surprised her with a cake and Patty Hobbs and Sue Mayo, hostesses, provided additional refreshments. Final plans were put in place for the spaghetti supper. Hendleys graciously donated the beef again, which is very much appreciated. The upcoming TUMC Christmas party was discussed. The date, time and place will be announced soon.
