United Women in Faith
November is here and our thoughts turn to remembering and thanksgiving. From looking in the stores, it seems as though people jump right over Thanksgiving into Christmas preparations. I hope we all take the time this month to remember all our blessings and all the things we are thankful for.
Our circle meetings this month are Tuesday, Nov. 5 at 7:00 pm at Yvonne’s house, and Wednesday, Nov. 6 at 10:00 am in the Family Life Center. Our District Fall Festival is Saturday, November 9 at Newman Chapel UMC in Kendleton. If you wish to go, you need to register and then let me know so we can plan carpooling.
Don’t forget we will be giving out our Thanksgiving food on Saturday, November16. We still need a lot of turkeys, so if you are able to donate one, the church will have storage space after the November food pantry on the 1st and 2nd. We will be filling the bags on Thursday, Nov. 14th starting at 10:00 am for anyone who can help.
Thank you everyone for your generosity. I love our giving spirit at Friendship!
A special note, if you took a go-bag to fill and haven’t got it back to the church, please do that as soon as possible so I can get them delivered.
Thanks, and blessings on you all!

Children's Ministry
We're continuing to stay busy in the Children's Ministry! Kudos to Miriam and Linda for teaching the children about the Armor of God in Sunday School. The children were able to show their armor off to the whole church along with their Halloween costumes.
Our Pumpkin Carving Contest was a great success! Our judges took a look at around 20 pumpkin entries and selected the following as winners: Most Creative - Car by Ryder; Most Challenging - The Angler by Chris; Best Overall - Mr. 2 Faced by Aurora. Thanks to everyone who participated!
The children will be singing a few Thanksgiving songs during morning worship on November 17. We are also planning on having a Skating Party at Splendora Skate on November 26 at 6:00pm.
On December 15, the children will be singing again. And mark your calendar for December 21 as we host "Cookies and Cocoa with Santa!"
Join us for Children's Church during the first service at 8:30am (we start in the sanctuary and leave together after the children's message), Sunday School at 9:40am or Wednesday Night Bible Study at 6:30pm (come at 6pm to share a family meal with the church).

We’ve had a great last month with PEZ…we participated in See You At The Pole and the Community Leadership Luncheon where we presented the superintendent with a PEZ Ministry Jersey as well we have many staff members of the schools who wear them. There are things coming up where you can help - we still have teachers who are looking for volunteers, helping in the library but most importantly we have Trunk or Treat/STEM night on October 29th from 5-7:30pm. We want your trunks!!! Come have some crazy fun with the fire department the constables office and lots of treats. There’s 2 ways to help…sign up for a trunk OR provide candy and non candy prizes to give out! One last thing let’s help out the school with their Mc Donald’s night…flyer included.
