**TURN YOUR CLOCKS BACK ONE HOUR BEFORE YOU GO TO BED SATURDAY NIGHT!**
“Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who finds great delight in His commands” (Psalms 112:1) To begin this issue, I remember my dear friend, Millie Jacobsen, whose 112th birthday would have been October 31. She would frequently give me quotes for the Tidings and I recall some of them now: “He who is born of God is sure to resemble His father”. “Don’t stay away from church because it isn’t perfect. Think how lonesome you would be in a perfect church.” “Where would you be in the morning if you died tonight?”

Attending from the Island were Eric and Barbara Greenfeldt and Kirsten (Hogard) and Rich Ellefson and family. CHURCH NEWS: No one stepped forward to help with addressing and mailing the Tidings during the absence of Mary Andersen and her substitute, Sandy Green, so last week’s Tidings was skipped. If anyone is interested in being a second substitute for times when both happen to be gone, please contact Mary (Martin) Andersen so she can show you the easy steps. * Dan Gettert, husband of Ann Hogard, spoke briefly at the Saturday evening service and the Sunday morning service last weekend of his work with International Students Ministries of British Columbia, accompanied by a DVD presentation. * The Youth Group will be selling Fannie May candy for Christmas.
