hope you all have recuperated from the Fair. It was a pretty good week if I say so myself. Now it’s time to get those costumes ready for trick or treating and fall festivals!
Mt. Hermon School
The MHS Fall Festival is this Friday, October 29th from 5:30-7:30 PM on the football field. This is a fundraising event, therefore most games and activities will be 25 cents to one dollar each. There will be food, games, haunted house, and much more!
It’s Red Ribbon Week (drug abuse prevention campaign) at MHS! Monday, everyone could wear sunglasses to “Shade Out Drugs”. Tuesday, they wore mixed matched clothes as a reminder to “Don’t Get Mixed Up With Drugs”. Wednesday, dress alike with your best friend or favorite teacher, “You’ve Got A Friend In Me”. Thursday, dress like what you want to be when you grow up, “Grow Up To Be Drug Free”, and Friday wear red for Red Ribbon Day.

Mt. Hermon United Pentecostal Church
Sunday morning service began with a solo from our pastor’s wife, Sis. Suzonne Garcia singing “ I Wouldn’t Take Nothing For My Journey Now”. She was followed by the Sr. Hands Praise signing to “You Paid It All”. Pastor Randall Garcia’s message was titled “Walking The Race”, with the focus Bible verse from Psalms 1:1 (KJV).
Sister Suzonne Garcia’s birthday was last Sunday. We all sang happy birthday to her during the service. It was also announced that she will be honored with a birthday celebration this Saturday, October 30th at 12:30 PM.
With it being pastor appreciation month, we all brought a card or a gift for Pastor Garcia to show him our appreciation. Our church is very thankful for our pastor and Sis. Suzonne.
Before the close of the service, we had a Missions Cake Auction to support Crystal Crouch. Crystal will be going on a mission trip this summer. Two homemade cakes were donated by Sis Shelia Waites. The auction was quite successful. Blessings to those who contributed.
May you all have a safe and Happy Halloween! -- Holly
