Jr. High: There is no Jr. High Sunday School today as our Jr. Highs are at the Bedlam retreat at Muskoka Woods this weekend.
Memorial Service| November 18 | Sanctuary: There is a memorial service for Ron Stevens tomorrow at Cornerstone Baptist Church, Monday, November 18th at 11:00am. Visitation begins at 10:00am. Reception to follow in the Fellowship Hall.
Thanksgiving Special Offering: This year, we are doing a Thanksgiving Special Offering towards the completion of Pastor Shadrack's house in Sodwana Bay. Now that there is a roof on the house, progress can start to be made on the inside. There is still much work to do, and material and supplies needed all at once. Pastor Shadrack and his wife Gugu are eager to have the first church service at their house and eager to be spending more time ministering to this community.

UPCOMING EVENTS
Legacy Builders | November 21 | Fellowship Hall
Our monthly connection for anyone 55 and up is meeting on November 21 (the 3rd Thursday of the month) in the Fellowship Hall downstairs at 10:00am. Our guest speakers are Fateh and Kiffah Salloum, friends of Pastor Steve and Cathy. Come hear their story—how God worked so that two Syrian young people, raised in the Islamic faith, were jostled from their homeland by a civil war, and came to know Jesus as their Lord and Saviour at great personal cost. This is a fabulous opportunity to invite your friends!
