SATURDAY NIGHT SERVICE There were 166 peo-ple at the first Satur-day night worship ser-vice Oct. 16. Dr. John Robbins will continue
with his “Who is Jesus?” message series. Come join Dr. Robbins, Worship Leader Luke Hummel and the 5:14 band at 5:14 p.m. on Satur-days in Herd Auditorium. Your attendance supports our church in this new outreach. Come and bring a friend.
NIGHT IN BETHLEHEM Here’s a great chance for you to get involved in a fun and meaningful activity. Night in Bethlehem will be 6-8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 3, in Fair Gym. The gym will be transformed into the busy streets of Bethlehem the night Jesus was born. There will be family fun activities and crafts to help each participant experience this most holy event in our faith story. Each family will go home with Bible-era crafts they have cre-ated, a wooden nativity and the understanding of what it might have been like when Jesus was born.
To volunteer or to get more information, contact Shannon Pogue ([email protected] or 903.592.7396) or Kathy Martinez ([email protected]).

MARVIN CONCERT SERIES Marvin Concert Series presents Imperial Brass: 10 Brass Players Equals 10 Times the Fun at 4 p.m. Nov. 21 in the sanctuary.
A versatile group with a wide-ranging repertoire, the professional Dallas-based Imperial Brass draws on some of the finest talent the Metroplex can provide. They perform in various combina-tions throughout the DFW area during their busy concert season. Their repertoire is quite extensive and varies in style. This concert will include 10 members, filling the Marvin sanctuary with the beautiful sounds of brass.
BLESS A SOLDIER AT CHRISTMAS The Marvin Military Care Committee would like to honor our soldiers serving overseas by collecting items now through Nov. 15 for a Christmas mail-ing. A collection tub will be located near the Welcome Center.
Suggested Items include: Christmas items (flat or-naments, crosses, candy, signed Christmas cards), Chef Boyardee (don’t need a can opener), microwavable mac and cheese, drink mix packets for them to put in water such as Crystal Light or Powerade, snacks of any kind, baby wipes or individually packaged handi-wipes, dental items (floss, floss toothpicks), hard candy, socks, toiletries, small American flags, let-ters of encouragement, pictures saying “Thank You” (this would be a great Sunday school pro-ject for any age class!)
Donations to help underwrite the cost of the mail-ing can be brought to the Welcome Center or left in the collection plate and will be greatly ap-preciated.
If you know someone serving overseas, let us know. There are sign-up postcards at the Wel-come Center or just e-mail the current name and address to Melissa Brigman ([email protected]).
