What's Happening in October?
CROP WALK
October 13, 2024 CROP Walk in Dayton, Ohio will be held. You can designate funds and place them in the offering plate or special CROP Walk envelopes. Checks should be made out to Church World Service\CROP. For more information contact our CROP Walk representative Ernie Keucher.
CROP Hunger Walk began in 1969 and includes walkers of all ages, faiths and backgrounds in more than 500 communities throughout the US. One fourth of funds raised here in Dayton will go to support the Dayton Food Bank. CROP Hunger Walks transform communities by helping provide nutritious food, clean water and healthy children.
You can walk and collect supporters or make a donation. The Dayton Walk will be October 13 and begin at 1:00 p.m. at Shiloh Church at Main and Philadelphia. You can also donate or get friends and family to donate online at https:crophungerwalk.org.
You can register on the Dorothy Lane team at that site. Last year $10,516 was raised locally. Our DLABC goal is $300. Thanks for your support.
Women’s Work at DLABC
Women of DLABC will meet at 10:00 a.m. on October 17 in Fellowship Hall. We will be creating crafts to donate at Christmas to others. Please bring disposables (Plates, forks, spoons, napkins, etc.) for Dayton Christian Center. Flo Smith-Heizer will share devotions. Women will go out to lunch following the program. Remember our Christmas project is to donate socks (adult white socks to Montgomery County jail and children's socks to Southdale School).
Church Women United will meet on Saturday, October 26 at 10:00 a.m. at Westminster Presbyterian Church for Human Rights/World Community Day Celebrations. There will be carpooling from DLABC at 9:30 that day.
Christian Education
Our first Trunk or Treat will be on October 26th from 5-7 PM. This event will be in collaboration with Kettering Ohio Pride Coalition. The congregation can pass out candy from the trunk of your car to provide a safe place for kids to trick or treat. Some people like to decorate their trunks, but you don’t have to. We will have a fire and food as well! Please come support our church in this event.
Men's Fellowship will be meeting at Bob Evans on Woodman and Linden Ave at 11 am on October 11. All men are invited to attend.
