Marilyn Johnston provided a very thought provoking lesson about the physical and spiritual drought in our lives. Each person wrote anonymously about a time of crisis in her life and reflected upon God's life-giving water to get her through the hard time. The lesson was very applicable to daily life when we encounter different times of spiritual drought.

Jane presented devotions from the Mission Yearbook of Prayer. She talked about the decline in church membership in Italy and urged prayer for its growth.

PW dates to remember were discussed and duties were assigned. Nov. 18 is the Brownlee birthday party. Thank Offering Sunday is Nov. 22, with a speaker from Hillcrest Family Services. The Christmas Tea will be Dec. 2, at 1:30 p.m., at the church.
