Ladies Bible Class
We have started our ladies Bible class back up on Wednesdays @ 6:00 p.m. A study of witnessing called "The Exchange," with Carla Hardesty teaching. It is related to building relationships for witnessing, not a substitute for other approaches to soul winning.
Please pray for the Lancasters (Joshua & Pepsi) and Evangelist Dwight Smith in Andover, MN, and the Victory Gospel Crusade tent revival.
Missionary Closet
As our annual conference approaches, we would like to replinish our missionary closet with items of necessity that we some times take for granted, but our friends on the mission field find hard to come by. Some items include: Chapstick, shaving cream, paper towels, sewing kits, writing tablets, Activity books for children, Tide laundry pods, deodorant, Quart-size Ziplock storage bags. Any monetary donations are used to provide Walmart gift cards. Thank you!
El Vista Baptist Academy News
School pictures are scheduled for Friday, October 7 @ 9:15 a.m.

Youth & Teen Group
The El Vista Teens have a full schedule of fun activities and spiritual training. Led by Pastor Phil & Randi Lancaster, the Teen Group meets in Sunday School at 9:30 AM, then has Teen Soul Winning at 4:30 PM. Wednesday night and Power Hour & prayer time start at 7:00 PM.
We appreciate the time our workers give to the young people -- teaching, visiting, planning, and hosting a number of activities every year. Our desire is to see the young people come to know the Lord Jesus as Savior; to walk with Him in daily life at home, school, and neighborhood; and to yield their lives to Him in following His will. Pray for our teens, their parents, and our outreach to them.
El Vista Baptist Church has been improving the Children's Church Ministry over the past few years. Now consisting of three groups during our morning service, our skillful workers love the children, and on an age-sensitive basis teach the Word of God. Many have been won to Christ and lessons for Christian living have been taught.
