Praise the Lord for another wonder filled day.  We had about 20 scary and some not so scary people at the door last night.  People pretending to be someone other than who they really are.  My thought this morning is, 'Halloween's over, it's time to take of the mask.'  The Message Bible Romans 12:1-2 "So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you."  Being real is hard if it means being rejected by this world.  It may be easy to put on a mask and make everyday Halloween but it will never lead you into maturity.  Be real about your faith and God will prove to you just how big He is.
Rachel Colford is having her first CD release tomorrow evening 7:30 @ the Holiday Inn in Sydney.  Everyone is welcome to come and celebrate with her.
This Sunday is Family Sunday so don't forget that we start early @ 10:15, bring some food to share with others, and invite a friend to enjoy the service.  On Family Sunday there is no evening service and there will be no early choir practice this week.  Monday evening @6 @ the Bible Study Hall Pastor Mark and Amy are looking for young people who would be interested in working together to do some special things for Christmas.  
Don't forget to fill your shoe boxes and bring them in.  Also pick up your Christmas banquet ticket.  The Church room for the banquet can seat about 230.  We don't want to see anyone miss so make sure you get your ticket.  Bob and Lin Ryan have a table at the back of the church.  This year's guest speaker at the banquet is Glen Tetford from Newfoundland.  Glen as a child was healed of cancer and today is a very anointed speaker in the Kingdom of God.  He preaches, sings and plays at churches, conferences, and national leadership meetings all across Canada. Glen has a great sense of humour and has several music CD's.      
Continue to pray for those in need.  Lots of love Pastor Kevin and Alice
