The second event will be Gospel

It begins around 7:00 PM and the music will be wonderful. Hope to see you there.
Saturday the BIG DAY
The day starts with the
parade that will get to the Gazebo by 10:00, which means it will leave the
Elementary School by 9:15 and be at the Circle K at Highway 23 by 9:30. After the parade the games begin. There will be prizes for all, We have at
least six games that can be played.
There will be food vendors, crafters at the Ridge Spring Baptist Church
Circle Parking lot, the Country Store, the Car Show, Bar-Be-Que at the Fire
Station, and of course live music at the Gazebo thanks to Richard Elders. The
Minimilers will be there with their cart and miniature horses for all to ride
from 1:30 to 3:30. Don’t forget the
theme
“HAVE YOU THANKED A FARMER TODAY”

She won 3 first place ribbons and 3 second place ribbons at the State Fair for
her crocheting. Be sure to come in to Off the Beaten Path to see what she
has to offer. We have many fall wreaths and other things for
decorating. We will be open Saturday during
the Harvest Festival. Off the Beaten Path will be open for Harvest

things we have to offer. You will find many things for you and great gift
ideas as well. We have a cute children's section with clothing up through
toddler sizes. Our great vendors offer items for you such as jewelry,
scarves, soaps and lotions. They also have great items for your home.
Everything is unique because it is either handmade or repurposed in some
way. We look forward to meeting you on Saturday!

water will be available as well as RSUMC contact information. A prayer request
box will be located on the table as well. No prayer request is too small. Use
the cards provided and place your request in the Box and the congregation will
add your request to the Sunday prayers.
Big Red Box: The Big Red Box full of non perishable food items was
delivered in September to the Johnston Food Bank. Thanks to those who
contributed.
The month of October is Domestic
Violence Awareness month. RSUMC’s Big Red Box is
collecting items for Killingsworth Home. (a safe place for women in distress
and starting over). Items needed: Pine Sol, Pledge, black/red dry eraser
markers, standard size bed pillows, twin sheet sets, towel sets, non allergic
clothes detergent, Neosporin and small and large band aids. All contributions
are appreciated. Please leave your items with a Church member or on the porch
of the FLC. Such a small thing to do for those who are starting over with
nothing
Face Book: RSUMC is on Face Book. Visited our page, like us. We are
shooting for 100 likes before the end of the year. This is a great place to
keep up with what’s going on at the Church, how to get involved and to leave
prayer requests.
Lee Ann Perez/ One Ash Farm
and Dairy: Unfortunately we couldn't make it to
market on Saturday morning. Our sweet girl, Annabelle, who I
wrote about calving last week, needed the vet. At this writing, we are
praying that she can recover from milk fever, and that she will be up and
taking care of her calf, little Rocket, again soon. Annabelle loves
bread, and I want to be able to bake a loaf just for her.
Speaking of bread- make sure to come
out to Harvest Festival Bingo on the 23rd! We will be providing a
basket of our fresh baked breads as one of the Bingo prizes. If you
missed us Saturday, and would like to come to the farm to pick up some
Grade A Raw Milk or fresh baked oatmeal or French bread, give us a call at (803) 649-9172.

Trunk or Treat in the church parking lot on October 31, from 5-7pm. We will also be handing out warm coats to anyone in need
of one this winter.

Josie Rodgers:
My sister-in-law
Brandie Rodgers participated in the Atlanta Susan Komen Walk for a Cure this
past weekend. They walked 20 miles a day
for 3 days. Each team raises money for
cancer research and current cancer patient needs (taking patient to appointments,
chemo treatment, etc.). Brandie’s team walks in memory of her mother Lynn Strom
