Charley’s Comments
My thanks to Gary Ford and all the young men
who participated in the worship service last Sunday. I thought everyone was well prepared and did
a wonderful job in leading our thoughts, prayers, and hearts in worship. On behalf of the UCSC Alumni and Friends
Association, I also thank all who dropped by the UCSC and enjoyed a good
breakfast before the parade. Your
donations, which went to the Wayne Williams Scholarship fund, are greatly
appreciated.
There
is a sign-up list posted on the bulletin
board just outside my office door at the church building for those who would
like to help this year with the UCSC food drive for Need Line. On Monday night,
Oct. 27, between 6:00-8:00 p.m. we will come by your home and pick up any items that
you are willing to donate to our food drive.
Please give us your name, address, and a phone number to call in case we
get lost trying to find your house. If
you live too far out of Murray for us to find your home, you can bring your
items to the church building on Sunday, Oct. 26. We’ll make sure they get
delivered to Need Line.

will start upstairs with singing and a lesson at 6 p.m., then go downstairs for
fun and games. Trunk or Treat starts
at 7:00. We are looking for the life groups to decorate their
trunks. The competition was pretty fierce last year, so it will be
interesting to see what happens this year!! I'm looking for people to help with
the games and finger foods. Please let me know if you can help.
On November 2 the Stan Colley

Farmington Church of Christ. If you attended WKYC this year, in the past

Thank You
To the group, A.W.O.L.
Jr.,
Thanks so
much for the beautiful yard work. I was “sleeping in” that day and woke up to a
buzzing sound. I looked out my window and it was a pleasant sight when I
realized the kids (they were so cute) were working on my yard. I can now see
out my window.
Thank you again,
LaRue Spann

Counselor Resigns . . .
We received an email informing us of the
resignation of David Johnson as counselor for the Christian Counseling Center after
fifteen years of service. For a long
time David has come to University Church one or two days a week to counsel with
people from this area. David has
accepted a position in his hometown of Martin, TN as Program Director of Spirit
Lake, an alcohol and drug treatment facility for men. We have come to appreciate David as a
counselor and as a Christian gentleman.
We will miss him.
David’s last day of work for the Christian
Counseling Center will be November 19.
However, Roger Thompson, director of the center, indicated that every
effort possible will be made to continue serving in Murray with other staff
counselors until a replacement has been found.
