Our Warmth from the Heart coat giveaway last Saturday was once again a great success. It was so exciting to see about 50 people lined up nearly to the street twenty minutes before we were scheduled to begin. And we had a constant overflow of people waiting in the auditorium the first hour and a half. We were able to help 80 families for a total of 298 people. We also distributed a great deal of caps, gloves, and other articles of clothing. We had the opportunity to give out a good number of New Testaments, tracts, and other Bible literature. There were several families who expressed a desire to visit our services. There were individuals who requested to receive Bible correspondence courses and some interested in studying the Bible with us. We also had the opportunity to encourage and pray with several others who are struggling with personal problems in life. May God be glorified in all of this! We are so grateful for every member here at Central who works to help make this such a wonderful outreach ministry to this community. There is still much follow-up work to be done. Please keep all of this in your prayers.

We now are focusing our attention to our next coat giveaway on Saturday, December 3. Due to the tremendous success of this day, much of our supplies have been completely depleted. (Especially children coat sizes 6-12 and adult large-3X sizes) So, once again, we need donations to help us re-stock our supplies of coats, caps, gloves, etc. I'm confident that you will rise to the occasion and meet this challenge. Thank you for all that you have done and will continue to do in the future. You are a wonderful people who truly embrace the command to love your neighbor.

Friends, we never want to lose sight of our focus in this outreach ministry. We hope that by meeting the physical needs of those less fortunate in our community that we have opportunities to meet spiritual needs as well. Our ultimate goal is to introduce people to Christ and His church by first demonstrating the love of Christ to them during their time of need. Remember, as Christians we have been "saved to serve." (Eph. 2:10) It is our purpose in life to bring glory to Christ by serving the One who gave His life for us. One of the best ways we serve the Lord is to bring the lost to Him! Friends, I am so happy that I am a member of such a caring spiritual family.

We express our loving sympathy to Phyllis Heald, Phyllis Scheidt and to all the family of Doris Whittern. After a very long illness, Doris departed this life on Thursday of last week, and Dwyane Dennis conducted funeral services the following Friday. Doris was a longtime member at Central who will be missed.

Be sure to set your clocks back one hour on Saturday evening and be on time for Bible study and worship Sunday morning.

The church at Lindsay invites all former members and friends to a Homecoming on Sunday, November 6. Full details are posted on the bulletin board.
