Thank you for all of the prayers, support, and meals provided to us in the weeks following Vivian’s birth. We are so grateful for the kindness shown and are very thankful for our loving church family! -The Shorts
BAPTISM: This morning, Amayus and Zariah Elston have been made children of God through the rite of Holy Baptism. May God guide and direct their lives by the Spirit as they grow in the love of Jesus. Their parents are Alex and Bethany Elston and sponsors are Charles and Chelsea Baker.
NEW FURNITURE!: We are very grateful for the family who reached out to meet the need of new furniture for the youth room. Take a moment and stop in there. The room is used by Sunday school, KFC, youth group and adult Bible study. We are very blessed this need has been met!

FROM TRINTY FREMONT:
*Monday, November 3 @ 6pm, Trinity is hosting a Romans Read-Through. Like we've done with Revelation the past 2 years, we will be reading straight through the book of Romans in one sitting. We'd love to have you and your congregation join us! And, we are still in need of a few readers, so if you'd like to read a chapter, that would be awesome!
*Thursday, November 20 @ 7pm, Trinity is hosting Concordia Seward's Jazz choir. Trinity's Advanced Choir will also be singing. More information and a graphic will be coming soon. But, the important part - it's free :)
CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS: Coming November 16th. It’s time to start cleaning those closets! Sign up sheets to volunteer for set up and organizing donations are on the table in the Fellowship Hall.
There are many available times, so please take a moment to see what where you can best help with your schedule.

Open: 1st & 3rd Monday, 6:00 – 7:00 p.m.
Tuesdays, 9:00 – 11:00 a.m. Thursdays, 2:00 - 4:00 p.m.
NOTE: People can drop off directly at the pantry or to the North Bend Library. A big thank you to those who donate.
*Starting in January of 2025, patrons must provide both a photo ID and a current utility bill to be able to access the pantry. This new requirement is in addition to our current pantry usage policies. Patrons must be from the North Bend School district and may only select items for people in their own household. Patrons may shop once per week, may fill one provided paper bag or 2 plastic bags and must take note of the limits on items. The pantry is meant to be a stop gap, not a full grocery shopping experience. We encourage patrons to take only what they need as others depend on the pantry too.
