VETERAN’S DAY: On Veterans Day, we pause to recognize and thank the men and women, past and present who have served our country in the armed forces. This Day reminds us of the strength, bravery, and sacrifice that members of our military demonstrate all around the world so we can continue to live in the land of the free.

THIS WEEK: 11/07/2021: The Man on the Side of the Road” (Luke 10:25-37) Guest Speaker ~ Robin Shakal, Associate Pastor Candia Congregational Church

NEXT WEEK: 11/14/2021: “Think Globally, Act Locally”, (John 17:13-18). Guest Speaker ~ Grant Winnes, First Baptist Church of Hampton Falls.

THANKSGIVING FOOD BASKETS: Food baskets will be given out again this year to families in need. If there are any families that you are aware of or that you would like to help, please email the office the names and contact information by November 12^th. Contact Marion Guay at marion@raymondbaptistchurch.com  with any questions.

If anyone knows of any pig farmers in the area, please let them know or provide them with the office number or email that we are seeking a person or persons to pick up the leftover food items. Because we are unable to distribute all the food during the week we would love to be able to provide them with the food instead of throwing it out. Our current person can no longer pick up.  This would involve a pickup on Monday mornings around 8:00-9:00am.

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION IS GROWING!

We are needing to create some additional space for our children’s department to help with the greater diversity of ages that are attending. If there are any books in the current library space that are of interest to you personally, you are invited to take them by December 1st. Cleaning the library space will be part of a comprehensive full sanctuary level interior cleaning going into the winter months. If you haven’t noticed all exteriors of all buildings have already been done and they look great.

MEMBERSHIP CLASS: Are you new or just want to know more about RBC and membership, what we believe and how things work here or interested in becoming a member? We are coordinating a membership class this Fall so if anyone is interested, please call, email the Office.
