Supper in place of a walk . . . Michelle Armster of MCC will provide information/stories of life in Central & South America where funds from the annual Share-the-Harvest are aimed.  Meat is provided for the 6:30 meal on Saturday, October 7, please bring a dish to share.  The walk may resume the following year if interest picks up.

Generosity Notes: An anonymous gift of $1,000 for Pioneer Club has arrived and, the waitresses at Pulaski Gas & Grill pooled a week’s worth of tips for a gift through PMC for Mennonite Disaster Service Flood Relief. PMC has also received thank-you notes for offerings to Mennonite Central Committee, Mennonite Disaster Service and Crooked Creek Camp.

Dear Friends at Pulaski . . . We want to let you know how much your recent gift meant to us.  It came at a time when Joy was praying about how to help some of our night guard’s children and neighbor children attend school.  When I (Joy) opened up your e-mail, I cried seeing how faithful God is to answer when we ask Him for help—and YOU were the answer!  So, many of the children you see in the photos are now able to go to school this term because of your generosity.  Thank-you!  -The Forney Family

Thank-you all for your thoughts and prayers in these difficult times.   We were blown away with all the amazing pies and the support shown to us on the day of Mom’s funeral.  We can never thank-you enough.     -Wray, Sam & Mike Fleming
