Speaking this week is Simon Liversidge, our Lead Pastor, with "The Family Table." God created us for joy. Character transformation begins with joy. That includes coming to the family table of Jesus. At His table we experience joy, community, identity, and truth. That is what we see in Acts 2:42-47 as the early church gathers at the family table. 

This week’s Forks and Friendship potluck will be hosted by Carol Silva’s team. Visitors are welcome! CVC members, please bring several dishes to share.

Plan to attend these upcoming potlucks:
November 7 - Forks and Friendship hosted by Terri Bartzatt’s team
November 14 - All Church Potluck hosted by Steve Ladig’s team
November 21 - Forks and Friendship hosted by Linda Becker’s team
November 28 - No Forks and Friendship over the Thanksgiving holiday

**SPECIAL NOTE: We need a new leader for Forks and Fellowship! Someone who loves our potluck ministry and has faithfulness to details as one of their Holy Spirit-given gifts! This is NOT the person who prepares all the food, or sets up all the tables. It's someone in the background, a coordinator, who can oversee the team that is responsible for those things and more. Call Pastor Rich at 402.570.0496.

SOUP SUPPER - every Wednesday! Join us at 5:45pm for $1 soup per person, followed by Pathfinders, Adventurers, and other small groups at 6pm; for childcare, please contact Simon Liversidge at 805.498.2300.

Ladies Night at Chocolate Season TODAY from 6:30–8pm! Come enjoy a warm drink, sweet treats, good conversation, and an easy evening of friendship and connection at Chocolate Season Coffee & Chocolatier; we’d love to spend the evening with you! 

Help fill the shelves of Good Neighbor Community Center for those in need over the holidays! The Pathfinders' Canned Food Drive is November 1-18, and donations can be dropped off in the lobby. The food will then be loaded up and taken to GNCC. Pathfinders are also looking for help going out into the community for the canned food drive by delivering grocery bags to the College View neighborhood on November 7 from 3-5pm. We will also need help going around the neighborhood and collecting the bags of canned food on November 14 from 3-5pm. If you would like to help with this outreach, we will meet in the lobby at those times. As always, your support and donations are appreciated!

Community Outreach: Join us next Sabbath, November 7 at 2:30pm as we share God's love with clients at People's City Mission through haircuts, foot care, manicures, massages, children's crafts and books, and music from our Children's Choir. Interested in volunteering? Email Linda.becker@ucollege.edu. 

CVC Symphony Orchestra: The CVC worship ministry in conjunction with Nehemias Calsin is launching this project starting next Sabbath, November 7! This initiative is a music in worship discipleship and evangelistic ministry opportunity extended to CVC and Lincoln community members of all ages. It does not matter whether you're a child, teen, young adult, or wise-in-years. It is open to all. If you play or have interest in a string, woodwind, brass, or percussive instrument, this orchestra is for you. It is designed for both experienced musicians and those wanting to pick an instrument for the first time, willing to learn. Rehearsals will be each Sabbath at 4pm in Sanctuary, unless otherwise specified. To sign up, see the link here. 

Kids CAM: Do you have a child who loves to create? Sign-ups are now open for Kids Creative Arts + Ministry for Kindergarten through 8th grade! Classes include Bible journaling, art, movement, drama, music, and so much more. Classes meet Wednesdays from 3:30–4:30pm at College View Academy. Scan the QR code to explore the classes and sign up! See the registration link here for additional details, or contact Kelly Fernandez with questions.

HEALTH MINISTRY: Hey CVC family! We're excited to let you know that we’re now offering new machine-based fitness sessions at Reiner Wellness Center. These workouts are designed for everyone — whether you’re a complete beginner or a high-level athlete. Every exercise can be easily adjusted to your current fitness level. The goal is to help you build strength through the essential movement patterns we use in everyday life, including pushing, pulling, squatting, hinging, and core stability. These small-group sessions will take place every Tuesday and Thursday at 6 and 6:40pm, with only eight spots available per session. Everything is completely free and open to everyone — you don’t need a gym membership. You’ll just need to sign the liability waiver and register for your spot. To get the registration link, simply text MACHINES to 844.291.6969. Don’t forget, our regular full-body group workouts will continue every Monday and Wednesday at 6:15pm, with no registration required. We’d love to have you join us. Hope to see you there!

We’re excited to share that Tap Tag is now available at our beloved College View Church! You can find Tap Tag QR codes on the pews in the sanctuary and at stations throughout the church. We invite you to check them out & find more ways to connect at CVC!

October is Pastor Appreciation month and we’re hoping to do something a little special for our pastors this year.  We can all participate in a couple of ways.  First, we can write a personal note of appreciation or just send a one-word description of each pastor and send it to Robin Shea at: robinshea34@gmail.com; and second, we can make a monetary contribution. Please mark a tithe envelope or give online to Pastor Appreciation. Please write your note and make your contribution by November 11.

Celebrate the greatest story ever told! Join your CVC family for a beautiful evening of Christmas wonder, music, fellowship, and a special pageant celebrating the birth of Jesus on Sabbath, December 5, at 6pm, followed by dinner together. Reservations are required, so please RSVP to cecilia.liversidge@collegeviewchurch.org — we can't wait to celebrate with you!

Thank you to everyone who was involved in helping with our newly extended parking lot. We truly appreciate all the time, effort, and support each of you put into making this happen. We're sincerely grateful to everyone who contributed resources. Thank you all so much!

A few items went missing from a display table at the church on Sabbath, October 17, and we’d simply be grateful to have them back.

The missing books are:
• Political Speeches and Debates of Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas, edited by Alonzo T. Jones — a tan clothbound book
• The United States in Prophecy by Uriah Smith
• The American Sabbath Union and Human Rights — Sentinel Library No. 22
• Civil Government and the Decalogue — Sentinel Library No. 25
• Politics in Religion — National Religious Liberty Association
• The Coming of Our Lord: “We Would See Jesus” by A. T. Jones — Apples of Gold Library No. 40

If you accidentally brought one of these home with you, no worries! Please bring them back to the Church Office. Thank you!

Janet Workman's son, Jeffery Adams, died unexpectedly last week. He lived with Janet so that makes it even harder. There are no funeral plans, but if any one wishes to help her with the expenses, it would be greatly appreciated. Please keep the family in your prayers and, if you can help, reach out to the church office at 402.486.2880.

(Hebrews 4:16) "The Lord will not leave His afflicted, tried children to be the sport of Satan’s temptations. It is our privilege to trust Jesus.
