	November Ministry Partner: LifeHouse RetirePath Food Drive Food insecurity is the focus of November and there is no better local non-profit to partner with than LifeHouse. There are multiple ways to give support: 1. Give monetarily to LifeHouse by supporting the RetirePath Advisors Holiday Food Drive (NOW through Dec 17). This drive supports the pantry throughout the year and historically, has been able to provide approx. 40,000lbs of food for the year. Look for a form at the Ministry Center, Church Office, or our website. Checks should be made out to FLC. Donations must be made by December 17. 2. Give physical food donations. Our FLYs will be out collecting your donations on Sunday, November 22 at 3:00pm for a friendly competition! All items have a point value and the winning team will receive gift cards to local restaurants! If you would like to participate, please grab an orange flyer at the Ministry Center for more information! Together, we can have some fun and help fight food insecurity in our community! Thank you for your generousity!
	Rockin’ For A Reason… Another Time FLY Fundraiser CANCELLED Due to conflicts with the Fremont Midland Entertainment Series and family schedules, we have made the tough decision to cancel the FLY Fundraiser scheduled for Sunday, November 1. However, we WILL still hold the silent auction to support the FLY trips. Watch for more information coming soon! Please know that all donated funds will still go towards the FLY trips. Your generosity makes a big difference in the lives of our youth. Many thanks!

You will be contacted prior to your week for payment and your special message for the announcements. Call the church office if you need help getting your days reserved.
