Dedication Service 7:00 7:15 pm

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to
everyone. The Lord is near. Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer
and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the
peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds
in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:4-7 NRSV)
As I write this article, I have just finished reading the Strategic Planning Teams very impressive com-
pilation of the congregations answers to their four questions. A few responses are still coming in.
If you have not yet answered the questions and would like to do so, please email your answers to
Al Holder (al.g.holder@gmail.com). If you dont do email, then just bring them to the church office,
and we will make sure the Planning Team receives them.
I say they are impressive for two reasons. First, Im impressed by the way that the Planning Team
has reached out to the congregation in such an organized way. They provided multiple opportuni-
ties and methods, high-tech to low-tech, for persons to respond, and in several ways they are mak-
ing sure that they hear from a representative sample of the congregation. Moreover, the infor-
mation is collected and displayed in a very usable format. You are being well served by the talented
and dedicated members of the Planning Team.
Second, and if possible, even more impressive, are your responses to the questions. Clearly our
members have taken this process seriously, indeed, prayerfully. Among your responses are helpful
reflections on things we currently are doing, as well as new ideas for the Planning Team to consider.
Although at this point I shouldnt identify any particular ones, I can say that certain themes emerge
clearly from your responses. I had dearly hoped for thisthat the process would result in some
clear directions. I cant wait to see what the Planning Team will recommend based on your re-
sponses. They will be meeting with our consultant, Rev. Sarai Rice, on Saturday, November 15, in
order to establish the outline of a strategic plan.
Now I want to ask everyone to take an additional step that will ensure the right outcome of this
planning process: please pray for the Strategic Planning Team. Every day in your prayers, lift them
up as they read and consider your responses in preparation for the Saturday meeting. Pray that as
they gather they will be open to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Pray that their creativity will be at its
peak. Pray that their recommendations will be true to the culture of our church. Pray that their
enthusiasm for their recommendations will be infectious among our members. Pray that the result-
ing plan will help our church advance the mission of Jesus in the world. And thank you!

Dear Central Presbyterian Church and congregation,
Words cannot express how much for your generous donation of $5250 means to the
Light House Mission.
With costs going up and donations going down, the Mission is struggling to meet our pay-
roll, bills and getting our mailings out on a timely basis. Your donation was a godsend as
it helped us get our mailing out and to pay some pressing bills.
You partnership with us is such a blessing. It shows your compassion for those who are
less fortunate in our community. May God richly bless your church and congregation for
your kindness and generosity to the Mission and those we serve.
With a grateful heart,
The staff and residents of the Light House Mission

PROJECT
MILK MONEY
The Sunday School offering is
purchasing milk and paper
cups for Grumbling Tummies
the meals served at 14
th
and Chestnut
Community Center. The cost of milk is a
large expense as they serve 60 to 80 children
a day. Please place your donation in the milk
cartons in classrooms, the choir room, and
fellowship hall. Your pocket change makes a
big difference for children in the community.
We have currently given $182! The costs run
approximately $25 a week and the need nev-
er ends. Thank you for your continued gen-
erosity.
Thanksgiving Sing Praise
In recognition of the Thanksgiving
season, several churches of the Wa-
bash Valley are coming together to
plan a community Thanksgiving Sing
Praise service. Several choirs, includ-
ing our own High Ground Mens Chorus, from
area churches will share their musical gifts in addi-
tion to the traditional hymns that are sung. To
create this time of community worship, we need
you the community to join us and lift your
voices in praise. This special service will be on
Sunday, November 9at 3:004:30 pm at First Bap-
tist Church. The Psalmist wrote: I come to your
altar, O Lord, singing a song of thanksgiving and telling
of all your wonders (Psalm 26:6b-7). Join in on No-
vember 9th as we sing a common song of thanks-
giving and gratitude and as we share the wonders
of the Lords blessings.
Family Thanksgiving Day Dinner
Easter has been so much fun the last couple years at the
church, that the Mang Family has decided to host Thanks-
giving lunch at Central Presbyterian Church on Thanksgiv-
ing day at Noon. Sean and Amanda's family are bringing
thanksgiving to them and their new addition (we hope she
is here by then). They are extending an invitation to the
CPC family which is truly like family to Sean and Amanda.
Their families will provide the main meats, drinks, and ta-
ble service. We ask that you RSVP with number coming
and what you would like to bring: salad, side, or dessert.
Sign up will be in fellowship hall. Please let us know
by Nov 23rd.

when Tiffany gave birth to Miss Hannah Rose on Tuesday, October 21

love all 7 pound 9 ounces of her and cant wait to meet her!

October saw several events such as Tiffanys surprise baby shower that the youth and Youth De-
sign Team hosted, the Princess/Prince Party, and the Fall Celebration Picnic. A big thanks to all
those who helped with all of those activities! November promises to be equally exciting so make
sure to check below for important dates.

Mission Project Building Wheelchair Ramps

Many low income, disabled persons live in Terre Haute, some of
whom that are largely trapped in their homes with no way to get
out. CPC has recently stepped forward to help by assisting with
ramp builds such as this one that was recently completed near Riley
and another a few weeks ago on south 11
th
Street. The projects are
coordinated by the Indiana based organization called Servants at
Work (SAWs): http://www.sawsramps.org/. At present, the needs
outpace the supply of persons to help assemble the ramps. If you
would be interested in helping (only skills required are the ability to
operate a screw gun), please contact Josh Powers
(jopowers@indstate.edu; 812-239-3821). Projects typically occur
on a Saturday, although there are opportunities to assist during the
week to do module building at the shop.
New Book for Children's Library

No Sand in the House is a
heartwarming story of a sister
and brother as they try to fol-
low their Grandpa's number
one rule at the shore house -
no sand in the house. Author
Jennifer L. Crawford spent her
summers on Long Beach Island, New Jersey, and
knows firsthand about the unspoken rules of
most of the homeowners there. Her memories
include a rectangular plastic pan filled with water
outside the door into which everyone could step
washing the sand off the feet before entering the
house. Super Storm Sandy inspired the book
that benefits restoration of the Jersey shore.
All-Saints Banner Sunday
November 2
During the Sunday School/gathering hour
on Sunday, November 2, the Worship
Commission will create a ribbon-banner
for All-Saints Sunday. On this day when
we especially remember those in our
Congregation who have entered the
Church Triumphant in the past year, we
invite you to remember those who have
been a part of your life by attaching a rib-
bon to the banner. You may write their
names on the ribbons to name the people
of God whose lives have become entan-
gled with yours and have helped you
along the journey of faith. These may be
ancient or contemporary saints, as you
will. The banner will be carried into the
Sanctuary as a reminder that we are all
united in the cloud of saints.
