WHAT’S NEW WITH THE 2007 HOLY
HARVEST AUCTION? - Do you have a busy calendar? Maybe you’ll be out
of town for this year’s auction? We’re making it easier for everyone to
join in the fun this year. We’ve added a raffle, with lots of great raffle
prizes donated by local merchants and Federated folks. So even if you aren’t
able to attend the auction, you can buy lots of raffle tickets and win one (or
more) of our fantastic prizes. Visit the Holy Harvest Auction table in the
patio or Price Hall (depending on the weather) this Sunday and in the coming
weeks to donate, sign up to attend, or buy raffle tickets.
Contact Linda Gates or Pam Hagan to donate auction items or to
volunteer to help. And remember, even if you can’t attend the auction the
evening of Saturday, Nov. 3, you can still buy (or sell) raffle tickets!
All proceeds go to fund Grace Place, our local homeless shelter.
ATTENTION
AUCTION TEAM LEADERS-- There will be a team meeting today at 11:00 (after the
second worship service) in the Resource Room.
FOLLOW THE YELLOW BOOK ROAD
- Jesus Christ
functions in four main ways in the Christian’s life: Savior, Teacher, Lord, and
Friend. In our relationship with him, each of us experiences some of these
roles more powerfully than others. Which role have you experienced the most and
do you understand the best? In which would you like to see yourself grow
stronger? Jesus as my Savior: he forgives my sins and sets me free. Jesus
Christ as my Teacher: he teaches me wisdom and guides me into truth. Jesus
Christ as my Lord: he lives at the center of my life. Jesus as my Friend: he
understands and comforts me. A Yellow Book Road group begins at church
on November 7th. You are welcome to attend!
Grace Place and United Outreach
are now looking for three temporary but full time employees to
operate and oversee the homeless shelter at the Seventh Day Adventist Church in
Camino this winter. The three positions include the shelter director and two
shift monitors. We are only funded for three months operation now, beginning in
November, but hope to expand to six months this coming spring and perhaps twelve
months next year when the new facility in Pollock Pines is completed. Job
Descriptions are available in the Grace Place basket in the office. If you know
anyone who might be interested, please pass on this information to them. If
anyone has any questions, please call Art Edwards at, or email at: art.edwards@sbcglobal.net.

Babies, Toddlers and Pre-K’s:
The Nursery is open for happy and loving play time with our energetic and loving
Nursery Caregivers: Deanna Vincent and Jocelyn Lane.
The nursery is upstairs in the back hallway. Our nursery has a changing table,
clean toys & a safe & fun play area. Be sure to leave your cell phone number
with the staff and turn your phone on vibrate so that we can contact you during
worship if your child needs you. Also, let us know if it is okay to take your
child outside to the nursery playground for some fresh air. Thank You!

9:45am Worship Today:
“SECOND SUNDAY”
On the second Sunday of the month, the children go out of worship for a short
time. They return to worship to participate in communion & anointing with their
families.
During their short time together, they get to meet wonderful members of our
congregation. Today, our special guest is Sandy Peirce, Parish Associate.
Sandy was the beloved pastor of Federated Church for many years. Today she
will give a joyful and energetic presentation to the children all about how her
love for God has taken her around the world and throughout the community.
Grades

October 21, 2007: Children’s Sabbath Sunday
A day to consider
children in need.
During worship this day, we join the Children’s Defense Fund and many other
faith communities encouraging prayer, education and service to help children and
families in need. We recognize the directors and teachers of our Federated
Church Preschool. We invite the congregation to contribute to the Arlene
Peter’s Memorial Scholarship Fund which assists our preschool families if they
have a time of need. (Did you know that our preschool is the only preschool in
El Dorado County to offer such assistance?)
Trunk or Treat
October 28, 2006 Sunday Evening
5:00pm to 7:00ish (Trunk set-up at
4:30pm.) Federated Church Parking Lot
What is it? A Safe and Festive Place to
Trick-or-Treat
Federated Church friends decorate their car trunks and fill them with goodies to
be handed out. Cars are parked so that kids in costume can walk trunk-to-trunk
saying, “Trunk or Treat!” Starting at 5:00pm, enjoy carnival games and face
painting. Enter the CUPCAKE WALK to win an assortment of delectable cupcakes.
Carve a pumpkin and enter to win the CARVED PUMPKIN CONTEST. Come hungry and
have a hot dog at the snack bar. Trunk or Treating is kicked-off by the ringing
of the church bell. When the sun starts to go down, we have entertainment,
juggling, performances and our annual MONSTER MASH DANCE. Be creative with your
costumes, but please avoid violent/evil themes. Thanks!
