Prison Ministry would like your used copies of the Signs of the Time magazine.  We have a neat and secure way of blocking out your name and address so please do not cut it out nor use a felt tip pen to do that.  You may leave the magazines at the church office or on a chair on Ella Fisher's front porch. Thank you very much.

Adopt a Dorm Daughter or Dorm Dude Today!  63 OAA dorm students need our prayers and Christian love.  This ministry involves sending the students notes, cards, and small gifts (mostly food) from now until Thanksgiving.  You may choose to let them know who you are, or keep your identity secret until Thanksgiving.  Contact Bonnie Pendergrass to adopt your student.
