Calling all Parents of College Students...
We would like to compile a mini-directory of all the young people in our church family who are currently away at college, in order to pray for them and to send them notes of encouragement. If you have a son or daughter away at school, please fill out the slip in the bulletin and either place it in the offering plate or return it to
Angie Burnham. You can also call the church office with the information or email it to angieb@bondurantfederatedchurch.org.

Senior Fellowship...
The first Senior Fellowship for the fall will be a trip to a farm home near Kalona for lunch on Wednesday, Oct. 13th. We will also visit the Amish grocery store and cheese factory if there is enough interest. The cost will be $11.50 per person plus gratuity. We are planning to take vans and will need a minimum of 12 people to sign up to get this price. We can have up to 40 people. Please sign up for this trip by filling out the insert in the bulletin and placing it in the offering plate or in Clyde & Mary Wiley’s mailbox.

Ladies, Mark your Calendars!...
Our annual Women's Retreat will be held on Friday & Saturday, November 5th & 6th at the Inn at Hidden Acres Christian Center. The theme this year is Relax, Renew, Restore, RETREAT!! The cost is $48.50 payable when you come to the retreat (includes room fee, breakfast and lunch). If finances are an issue, please see one of the Deaconesses as scholarships may be available.

Food Pantry needs...
Our shelves are getting bare and we are in need of non-perishable food items for our Food Pantry. Canned goods such as vegetables, fruits, soups, sauces and stews are always great, as well as boxed food items like breakfast cereals, dinners, pasta and potato dishes. Thank you!
