Pack a Shoe Box!
The chapel will have two drop off dates for Operation Christmas Child Shoe Boxes. You may bring your box to any service on 16 and 23 November You may also drop of your boxes at The Crossroad Student Center. If you do not attend chapel you may drop your box(es) off at my house (De'Etta). I will make sure it gets to the proper spot.
We have a lot of fun with this project. Last year we all went shopping and we all had creative ideas (flashlights/batteries/pumps/basketballs)....this year money is tighter. I took the younger ones to the Dollar Tree and we found a lot of fun things to pack:backpacks, stickers, purses, ballas, teddy bears, hair things, cars, socks......
We make Shoe Box night a fun Family Night. Here are a few glimpses of our assembly line.
Two footballs? How about one and some other things, Stacia?
Click here to find directions to pack a shoe box. We still plan to make a coloring page for each box. This is really more than a coloring page - it's a letter from you to the child who will receive your box.
We had a blast filling boxes. It's become an anticipated family tradition.

1Cr 3:13 - 15 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

PRAYER ENCOURAGEMENT
Below is a prayer encouragement sent out by our regional Prayer Coordinator.
Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you; but I will teach you the good and the right way. Only fear the LORD, and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great things He has done for you. 1 Samuel 12:23-24
Ladies,
Our PWOCI International Conference is only ten days away! I have been in prayer for you as you anticipate the great things that will happen during this special time that has been set aside to meet with the Lord.
There are several things for which we need to devote special prayer. There is a formal International Conference prayer calendar, but as a local leader, these are some specifics the Lord has laid on my heart to share with you.
First, please be in prayer for the selection process. The selection committee will meet with ladies who are feeling a call to international leadership. Please pray that they will be blessed during the selection process, and that they will not make any decisions until they are SURE they have heard from the Lord. Also, please pray for the ladies who will be meeting with the committee, in answer to the Lord’s leading. Pray that they will be willing to join the Lord in His work, in whatever capacity He places them.
Next, pray for the worship leader and the speaker. They are coming willing to lead us to the heart of God. Pray that their words, whether spoken, or sung, will be truthful, and filled with grace. Pray that the Lord would bless them as well, as they minister to us.
Lastly, be praying for the ladies from your installation as they attend the International Conference. They may think they are attending to have a really great time with friends (and I hope they do), but more importantly, they need to meet with the Lord. Pray that they will go willing to receive all that the Lord has planned for them. PWOC International Conference is a time when the Lord works in hearts to teach, to purify, to unburden, to confirm, to affirm, and to unify. I pray that you see evidence of these things happening as you watch the ladies in your group.
I will not be attending International Conference this year because of a significant family commitment, but I will be praying for you and look forward to hearing what great things the Lord has done in you!”
With great anticipation,
Kristin (Central's Prayer Coordinator)
Father, Thank you for the opportunity to set aside time with you and with our sisters. We ask that you would show us how to pray in preparation for Fall Focus, and that we would be amazed with how you answer. We love you, and we thank you for Jesus, who is the reason we do what we do. Amen.

Health Updates!
Bobbie Jo is home and recuperating well. She thanks us for our concern, but has meals well in hand. I think she exlempfies this week's lesson from Proverbs.
GE, Pat's husband, had Triple By-Pass Surgery on Thursday. Please continue to pray for these two PWOC Sisters and their families during these times with "health challenges".

Sharing His Love in the Heartland
The motto of PWOCI Central Region is "Sharing His Love in the Heartland". It is also the title of our new regional blog. Hop on over and check it out. Some of you will recognize yourself in a few shots. The graphic in our sidebar will always take you to the site if you forget the URL.
Our goal is for the blog to be an "informational tool," as well as a "relationional tool." We'll have photos and blurbs of activities from various installations. We'll have contact info for the board and each installation in our region. We'll also ask questions to gather your input, share advice...We hope others will begin to send their photos, their questions, their tips...all to be the foundation of future blog entries.
This is one more way your Board is working to build connection, relationship and ministry in Central Region. Visit and get involved.
