If you would like to help, please contact Donna Wood (801.8080) or Donna Morris (304.1703) ACCURATE CONTRIBUTION RECORDS The best way to insure the accuracy of your giving records is to use the offering envelopes that has been assigned to you. All posting is done by envelope number. It is your account #. The finance office that post your gifts never sees your check. You should make any notation that you want the office to see on your envelopes. In the next few weeks you will receive your new 2009 Offering envelopes. At that time, you should discard all prior year envelopes as the numbers are reassigned each year. Do not use another person’s envelopes or they will get the credit instead of you. Please contact the church office if you have questions or concerns Youth News Amber and I would like to that you for all of your prayer and love, during this time of trial. Your words of kindness and support have been a greatly uplifting. God not only designed His church to be a place of fellowship, but also a place where we can share one another’s burdens.

RA’s Recently I visited a school classroom and noticed a list of ten virtues on the wall for students to learn. I couldn’t help but notice that the Royal Ambassador virtue for October was missing. I’m excited about these young boys learning biblical truths in this RA program. Our RA’s are excited about going to the 100 year celebration event at North Greenville. We will be leaving PGBC at 8:30 am, Sat. November 1st. Any questions, ask Eric Wood. Thank You Dear Church Family, Words cannot express my sincere appreciation to you for all the prayers, cards, words and acts of kindness for me and my family over the past two years during the illness of my brother-in-law and his recent passing. I am so thankful to have you as my church family. Kirk’s journey is complete now, but we miss him so very much. Please continue to pray for my family and especially for my sister and her children as we mourn our loss. May the Lord bless you and keep you in His loving arms.

Staff Blogs A Word from the Pastor I sincerely thank each one of you who helped make the 175th anniversary of PGBC a success. The committee who formulated the event, the Fellowship Committee and everyone who participated in any way. Thanks! The future of Pleasant Grove is good. Hope, anticipation, and vision are keywords that express the future of our fellowship. Truly, our future is as bright as the promises of God’s unfailing commitment to us. May God bless you as your offer service to our wonderful Lord.! Love, Your Pastor Don's Dabblings The Ambassador “A” team enjoyed a delicious meal prepared by Mary Bennefield and proceeded to write 24 notes and cards, made 17 calls, prayed for 41 individuals, and made 5 personal visits. Teams “R” and “E” are meeting this week, so CARE will NOT meet next week. There is still need for you to complete CARE cards. Many times, you may be the only person who know of a particular need. Soon we will be turning our clocks and watches back one hour to go off daylight-savings time. Someone has said that the idea for daylight-saving time came from an old Indian who cut a piece off one end of his blanket and sewed it onto the other to make it larger. We still have 24 hours in each day—no more, and no less. We need to remember that all we have is this present moment. We can either use it wisely or wastefully. There is no neutrality. Twice in his writings, Paul told us to redeem the time. This means that we should always let the Lord live His life through us. We must take time each day to make sure that our lives are adjusted to our Lord.
