Matthew 28:19-20 "Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

November 21st at 5:30 and 7:00 pm
Join us for an evening of fun, food, and a mystery at Murder at the Pie Auction!
Our logic and rhetoric Theatre Arts students bring the small town of Mynute, Alaska, to life in this interactive murder mystery dinner theater event. You have two opportunities to enjoy the show on November 21, one at 5:30 pm and one at 7:00 pm!
After years of trying, the tiny town of Mynute finally secures the famous Mother Mabel's Pie Baking Competition - but only because of a typo that mixed up Mynute with Minot! The competition is off to a rocky start with no media attention and even more drama brewing. One contestant plans to release a tell-all book on the dark secrets of competitive pie baking. Then, just hours before the competition, the pie judge mysteriously goes missing, only to turn up dead during the pie auction! The contestants are left to turn on one another, racing to solve the crime as the audience joins in the search for clues.
Here's what's in store:
- Dinner and a show: Pizza, salad, pie, and a drink are included with every ticket.
- Silent Auction: Get in early to bid on a variety of delicious baked goods and treats.
- Audience Participation: Think you can solve the mystery? Submit your guess for who's guilty and you might take the cake - or rather, the pie - as one lucky winner will be drawn for a free pie!
Tickets are available for $10 (adults) and $5 (students), with door prices at $13 and $8.
All proceeds benefit BCS Theatre Arts directly. It's a night of laughs, suspense, and pie you won't want to miss!

| Ladies Bible Study |
|
|
Ladies, you have two opportunities to join a Bible study group.
|
 |
|
| Led by Lyndsay Jackson |
|
|
Rahab's story of redemption is an incredible one. We are all in need of God's redemption. This study will take a deep dive into how God used someone as unlikely as Rahab to fulfill His work.

Kids on Mission has been going so well!
We have so many new families joining us for a time of discipleship. It's an exciting time in our kid's ministry!
Check-in begins each Wednesday night at 6:05, and we ask students to sit on the stairs until the teachers are ready to receive them. Our hope is that this will allow parents to get to our adult Bible study classes.
Sunbeams and Mission friends will have class in the nursery area and parents are asked to walk them down to their classes.
Girls in Action and Royal Ambassadors will go upstairs to rooms 215-218. There will be signs upstairs so you and your children know where to go.
Pickup Information:
- For Older Children (Girls in Action and Royal Ambassadors): They will be seated on the stairs when it's time to pick up, so you do not need to go upstairs.
- For Younger Children (Sunbeams and Mission Friends): Please pick them up directly from their classrooms in the nursery area.

Featuring a full cast with choir, this musical comedy is a Norman Rockwell painting come to life! Remembering the days when The Saturday Evening Post found its way into American homes and hearts, this Broadway-style musical is fast and fun, yet offers a clear message of the true meaning of Christmas in its entertaining dialogue and drama. The Christmas Post takes the audience into a world of ordinary Americans who, just like people today, need to rediscover their faith in Jesus and be reminded of what Christmas is really all about.
Byne Church invites the Albany and surrounding area churches to join and sing with us this Christmas season.
This wonderful production is scheduled for December 14 & 15.
Rehearsals are Sundays from 3 pm - 5 pm. Please check your email for all updates.

| November Note from Pastor Mark |
|
|
When Christ died, He died for you individually just as much as if you'd been the only man in the world." - CS Lewis
Biblical Christian Faith is full of inverted Kingdom principles such as in order "to find your life, you must lose it", and "the first will be last and the last will be first". In the modern West, the emphasis on personal responsibility and individual will has brought about great revivals America introduced a country with no state religion and a list of freedoms of emphasize personal autonomy.
As we will discover this month, the 6th chapter of Galatians instructs each to play a part in the larger community. Each faithful Christian has an individual relationship with Jesus as Lord and Savior, but their personal faith has a public demonstration and communal responsibility. Recent trends have so individualized faith that it remains private and self-centered. Many who claim to be Christians feel no responsibility to a local faith family.
Though each person must come to Christ, we enter into a body of believers in Christ. We enter into His family as children of God. We enter into His mission to glorify Christ and make disciples. Churches are healthy when each person takes individual responsibility for their part in the whole.
So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. (Galatians 6:10 ESV)

Byne Kids
This month, the Gospel Project is exploring Jesus's teachings. Jesus's life is a perfect example of a teacher. He taught and loved the "least of these." Jesus taught like no one else - as One who has authority. Everything Jesus taught about revealed what God's kingdom is like, the kingdom that Jesus had come to establish in full.
Big Picture Question: What did Jesus teach when He was on earth? Jesus taught about God and His kingdom. He taught that all Scripture is about Him!
Sunday School Weekly topics:
November 3: Jesus Taught about Character
November 10: Jesus Taught about Behavior
November 17: Jesus Taught about God's Love
November 24: Jesus Taught about God's Kingdom
During the 10:45 hour, we are walking to Christ's birth. We will start with the story of Zachariah and Elizabeth and go through the birth of John the Baptist, the visits of angels to Mary and Joseph, and then to the birth of Jesus. Throughout the next few weeks, we will see all the events that led up to the birth of the Savior of the world. Instead of just focusing on what happened that fateful night, we will discover some of the significant events that got us to that point. Our children will not only know the events of the birth of Christ but they will also be able to put all the pieces together, and what a beautiful puzzle it is!
Kids On Mission
Wednesday nights are focused on being mission-minded. Our children are learning what sharing the gospel with people worldwide is like. They are seeing pictures, hearing testimonies, and discussing the importance of helping others know God. When children learn to witness to others, they are more confident in sharing their faith. God will use their confidence to bring more people to Him!

| Children's Bible Recommendation |
|
 |
|
|
What Bible should I read?
What version will help my children better understand God's word?
What do the red letters mean?
How can I help my children be more excited about reading their Bible?
All of these are great questions so we want to provide you with a great recommendation. We aren't in the book business but we are trying to make every effort to partner with parents to help in training our children in the way they should go. (Proverbs 22:6) The best way we can do this is to model to them how we connect with God on a daily basis.
