What a wonderful Worship Hour we had November 4, and Pastor Bill presented Baptism certificates to those baptized in September! After, while the Advisory Board and Thanksgiving Outreach Dinner Teams had planning meetings, we played outside for our youth activity this month. It was a beautiful day, and the kids decided that climbing the “mountain of dirt” was more fun than basketball, football, giant parachute, and races, so we abandoned all “organized” games and let them loose. They had a blast, and then we all roasted the marshmallows that we couldn’t do at the Harvest Party because of rain.

We had a great month this October.  Plenty of events, such as our Ladies’ Luncheon, Men’s Prayer Breakfast (again, the guys didn’t take any photos, but they had a great time), Harvest Party (pictured in its own Event), and youth activity (which we didn’t get many good shots of, either. We’ll try to do better next month!!).  We also had plenty of mealtime fellowships this month. And welcome to Baby Robert Michael Gabriel, born October 1 to Josh and Ellen Gabriel! Congratulations! Happy Fall!

Michaela Rush, Brian Muschiano, Carol Trammell, Elizabeth Rossi, Bob Vallee, Frank Brazee, and John Schmitt all stated that they were trusting in Jesus Christ as their Savior and wanted to follow Him in baptism.  What a joyful time for Beacon Church!

Wow, September 2002 through September 2012–what a great ten years!  After Sunday School, we worshiped together.  Then we walked down memory lane–“Ten Years in Ten Minutes”–while the guys set up the baptistry for our baptism.  (We included the pictures of 2 other baptisms from the week following to streamline.)  Brian Muschiano, Michaela Rush, Carol Trammell, Liz Rossi, Bob Vallee, Frank Brazee, and John Schmidt are the names of those who followed Jesus Christ in baptism.  After the baptisms, we all headed to the fellowship hall for a dinner.  What a great Tenth Anniversary Sunday!!!
