Red Cross Blood Drive this Sunday
The American Red Cross will be having a blood drive on Sunday, November 23rd from 9:00 - 1:00 at RUMC. Please consider donating blood - all it will cost you is a little of your time. This is a great way we can each give back to our community. There is always a need for blood, especially during the holiday season.

Our next study begins...
We will begin our next study on Sunday, November 9th. It is called "Christmas Incarnation" by Dr. Ralph F. Wilson. It will be a four-week study - although we will take off the week of November 23rd due to expected travel plans for Thanksgiving. The books are $5 and can be purchased from Cyndi and Harris in class.
We hope to see everyone in class Sunday morning.
