Mark your calendars and come check out the exciting

supported. Oh, and remember, none of the money
raised this day is profit. It all goes to help the missions
and ministries here and around the world.
This year is going to be fantastic with more unique
items than we have ever had. Let’s make it the most
successful one also. Mark your calendars and see you
there!
P.S. - It isn’t too late to sign up your class, mission or ministry to be involved in the
Joy of Giving Market. Just let Pastor Angie know as soon as possible by calling 870
-239-8541 or by email at [email protected].
We are still looking for volunteers to provide entertainment such as singing, playing
instrument, etc. along with volunteers for cashiers and other areas. If you can help,
contact Pastor Angie.
We have available for sale before the Joy of Giving Market the new UMCOR
Coffee, Hope’s Blend. As Sandra Pascoe Robinson said, “you can do mission
work every morning when you make your pot of coffee. It’s Mission in a
cup.” Purchasing the Hope’s Blend coffee for $9.00 provides $2.15 to
UMCOR (15 cents to sustainable agriculture and development work around
the world, $2.00 to disaster relief around the world) and $7.00 to the fair
trade coop of farmers.
Items pictured above are just a few of the many items from the
Fair Trade Market that will be available to purchase.

The Flame
The youth will be leading the Hanging
of the Greens service on Sunday
night, Nov. 25th at 6pm.
The
youth will be providing an opportunity
for you to purchase “backpack” sheets
on Sunday mornings through Nov. 18.
Each “backpack” sheet cost $5, $10,or
$20. The $ collected will go to purchase
food for the backpack program in our local schools. Children
are given backpacks with food in them to take home on a
weekly basis. This is a great need for the children and families in our community!
Here are the dates/times
that youth need to be
present:
Monday, Nov. 19, 67pm: Hanging of the
Greens prep
Sunday, Nov. 25,
3:30pm: meet prior to
service (pizza will be
provided for dinner)
…
The youth will
be collecting backpacks for the backpack program during the
Joy of Giving market (Sat., Nov. 17).
Following the service in the sanctuary, we will have a dessert/snack potluck in Fellowship Hall along with hot
chocolate. During this time volunteers can decorate the Fellowship Hall
for Christmas.
Breakfast with
Santa
December 1, 2012
9:00 am - 11:00 am
This year our breakfast will
be served by the Methodist
Men of FUMC. We will have a
couple of tables set up for cookie decorating while awaiting Santa’s
arrival. HO!HO!HO!
Christmas Pageant All children interested in par�cipa�ng need to let me know by November 18. We have 6 so far. I’ll have sign-up sheets out dur­
ing Fellowship dinner and in your Sunday school classes. If you are interested in direc�ng this drama, please contact Wendy McDaniel.
D������ M������
Monday, November 12, 5:30 p.m.
we will hold our Trunk or Treat Debrief. This should
take no more than 45
minutes. We’ll come
together to discuss
the successes and
failures of the event
so that we can make
improvements for next year. All
suggestions welcome!!
Mr. Greig Lynn’s class of 3rd and 4th graders is accepting loose change for their mission project.
They are decorating the cans to look like stone wells. The change they collect will go to clean water projects in Nicaragua. It is great to see our little ones reach out across the world to help their
brothers and sisters in need. Bring your loose change for Wednesday night and this Sunday. The children will collect
your change at all three services.
Kids handbells meet every Wednesday night from 5:00 to about 5:20. If your children have
not rung before, they are still welcome to join. I just ask that they meet with me 30
minutes prior to handbells so that we can learn a few basics.
If you have an elementary student, please consider having them join us for kids
choirs at 6 and 6:30.
The Christmas songs cannot be put on disc for your convenience. If you would
like to hear them or download for $.99 ea you may go to the following web sites:
“Christ Has Come” (1� 3rd grade song) will be found at www.lifeway.com. Put “Christ Has Come” into the
search engine. You will want the Downloadable Listening Track in MP3 form.
“Welcome to Our World” (4� 6th grade song) by Christ Rice can be found on www.amazon.com as an MP3 or
on iTunes
If you have a little one in preschool, we now have a choir for them! They meet from 6-7 on
Wednesday nights with Mrs. Donna Williams. Children learn with bells, scarves and games in
this fun approach to music.
