Pray for the safety of all who are traveling to the News Wineskins Conference and that:
- the Lord would make his presence and purposes known through the prayer, worship, teaching, and conversations to forge new and strengthen existing mission partnerships.
- the churches represented would discover effective and creative ways to collaborate with God and one another to fulfill the Great Commission.
- the next generation would begin to hear and respond in obedience to God's call.
- that God's name would be great among the nations (Malachi 1:11).

The Feeding of the Multitude
Sat, Nov 19
This year's Feeding of the Multitude will be a Drive-through Food Pick-up at Haut Gap Middle School from 12-3 pm.
Already 23 churches have signed up to participate through opportunities to pray, package groceries, and deliver cooked meals to Home-Bound Island residents
Our goal is to give out 1500 bags of groceries (enough for a Thanksgiving meal for a family of 4) and 1100 $20 Food Lion Gift Cards (that exclude alcohol, tobacco and lottery tickets), instead of turkeys. Last year, we fed 5600 people! This year, our goal is to feed 6300 people, including the home-bound meals.
Contact our Church Coordinator Meemee Williams or see her after church if you would like to get more information and sign up.

Disaster Relief for Kentucky
Once the floods in Eastern Kentucky subside, we will have opportunities to provide relief to those affected by the disaster. Currently we are looking for financial donations which should be directed to St Johns Parish Church and include Kentucky flood relief in the memo line.
We will be putting together flood buckets that will include infant and school supplies. More details to follow. On site relief will also include supporting the food kitchens out of a school cafeteria and delivering the flood buckets. Stephen Haynsworth is our Parish Disaster Response Coordinator and will be providing more details soon.
Anglican Relief and Development Fund® (ARDF)
ARDF has trusted partners willing and able to respond to crises. You can support them by donating to their Joseph Fund. This fund exists to get funds out quickly to churches and affiliated nonprofits to support the efforts of volunteers responding to the crisis.
