9:15 a.m. The Bible Class
9:30 a.m. Coffee and Conversation
9:45 a.m. Church School
Adults: This Sunday, we will begin a new class taught by Rev. Dana Hughes with a focus on Advent. We are invited to engage in a four-week study of the Gospel of James. This Gospel provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives of Mary and Joseph and prompts an excavation through the layers of fact, fable and faith. Join us each Sunday in November at 9:45 a.m. in Room 201.
"THE BIBLE" SUNDAY SCHOOL
If you are interested in learning more about the story of Jesus in the Bible, join our class, Sundays at 9:15 a.m. in Room 107 as we make our way into the New Testament using the History Channel mini-series "The Bible." This class has been a great success, and we'd love for you to be part of the next five weeks. Breakfast and coffee are provided.
Children: Preschool children hear about the time when God chose Moses to lead God's people in a story about the "burning bush" titled I'll Do It. Elementary classes will learn how Jeremiah, God's messenger, was equipped for his work with the people of Judah. The 4th and 5th grade class will be in worship.

The first dine-out of the school year will be tonight, October 29 from 5 to 10 p.m. at El Taco (1186 N. Highland, 404.873.4656). Reservations for any size group are encouraged and please be sure to mention MPP so that 20 percent of the proceeds will go to our preschool community.
DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME
Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, November 3. We "fall back" and gain an extra hour of sleep. Be sure to set your clocks back one hour before going to bed Saturday, November 2.
ALL SAINTS' OBSERVANCE - NOVEMBER 3
All Saints' Day is a day of observance in the liturgical calendar of the church in which we celebrate the lives of those whose race is run, who have kept the faith, and whose witness lives on among us in the communion of the saints. In our communion liturgy, those who passed from this life this year will be remembered with thanksgiving to God for their lives and witnesses. If there are friends or family who died in the last year whose names you would like remembered in this prayer on All Saints' Day, please contact the church office.
