Everyone from the church is invited to participate. Please bring your friends as well! The cost is only $5/adult (children 0-12 and first time guests are free!). There will be plenty of games and food for all. You are also encouraged to dress up in a costume, but please don’t come dressed as anything scary or promoting evil. Costumes should be church appropriate. If you are wondering whether your costume is appropriate or not, maybe wear something else. But there will be prizes for the best costumes, so be creative!
5. Communion. We will be taking communion this Sunday so please prepare your heart for that time!
6. Baptism Class. Baptism is an ordinance commanded by our Lord. If you have not yet been baptized as a believer in obedience to Scripture, please make plans to come to our baptism class. Because of some people’s scheduling conflicts, we will be offering two baptism classes on Tuesday, November 3 and Wednesday, November 4. Both classes will begin at 7:00 PM and will be at the church. You DO NOT need to attend both.
7. Baptism Service. The baptism service will be on Sunday, November 15, at 4:30 PM. Come out and hear the testimonies of those who will be baptized!

How you put your faith on display through your actions and speech is a good gauge of your own spiritual health. Fundamentals of the Faith (Min Kim and Peter Lim): This is our ongoing thirteen week class that walks through the basics of the Christian faith. Learn about basic theology and the principles that all believers should know and be committed to.
