Our Faith Promise Weekend is in two days! For more information about Faith Promise, click here. Our speaker is Cisca Ireland-Verwoerd, who lived in Taiwan for five years. We're looking forward to hearing from her. Jason Parker and a friend of his will be making authentic Chinese food for us. You won't want to miss it! Everyone is invited to bring desserts and drinks to share. We'll gather at 6:00 and eat around 6:30. And then on Sunday morning, Cisca will speak to us again in our morning gathering to worship.

This Saturday (October 10th) there will be a car wash fundraiser at Eastern Nazarene College (23 E. Elm Ave, Quincy, MA) to send personal supplies and needs to Greg and his comrades. Here are some details from Keri:
