HONORED: John Mark Stallings Field is the name given to the football field at Faulkner University, this past Friday. Coach Gene & Ruth Ann Stallings were in Montgomery, Alabama this past Friday for the honors.
The field could have been named for any number of famous players or coaches, but John Mark’s qualities made his choice a natural for the Christian university.
“With his death, we became more determined that our program would endeavor to uphold the highest standards of character and sportsmanship because our field would bear the name of John Mark Stallings,” Billy Hilyer (Faulkner University President) said. “Because you’ve given Faulkner a great gift, the name of your son, we pledge to honor that gift, we promise that the John Mark Stallings Field will stand as a symbol of character and effort in the highest standard of sportsmanship,”

We have the opportunity to be a part of a Medical Evangelism for the Mexico flood victims. They are in need of these items: Vitamins, Aspirin, Tylenol, Glasses and School Supplies.  There are boxes in the foyer for these items.  Next Sunday, Oct. 17th, is the last day to donate.

H.A.L.O.:  We'll meet on Tuesday, October 19th, at 6pm.  This month's community project is the LACOC pantry.  Bring items for stocking our benevolent pantry for the upcoming months.  Also, bring finger foods and your favorite games to share.

TRUNK OR TREAT: Tanya has a sign-up sheet on the Welcome Center for those wanting to host a car or help in other ways. This is SO much fun for the kids and adults too!

SIMPLE SUPPER: This week’s entree will be a special Tater Tot Casserole. If you didn't get the chance to sign up on Sunday morning, you still have the chance to come and eat with us by calling the church office by noon on Tuesday. Still only $2 per plate.
