COME JOIN THE PARTY!
THE CAT'S OUT OF THE BAG! A few folks were planning a small, surprise house warming luncheon for Joy Alford on the 19th of October, but as the word got around more and more people wanted to participate, and the number continues to grow. Due to the enthusiasm of so many, the celebration is being announced so that all are welcomed to join in a HOUSEWARMING FOR JOY. Gifts are not necessary, but anyone wishing to bring a gift is asked to bring a gift card for Joy from your favorite store. Please bring a "finger food" to share during Fellowship as we congratulate Joy on her new home. Sunday, October 19th, Noon, Vaughan Fellowship Hall.

Giving Low Wage Workers a Voice - Fast food CEOs are some of the highest paid in the U.S. Fast food workers are some of the lowest paid in the economy. Their wages have increased just 0.3 percent in real dollars since 2000. The ratio of CEO pay to the employees is over 1,000 to 1. One out of 2 fast food workers' families depends on public assistance that costs taxpayers nearly 7 billion dollars nationally. In North Carolina $264 million is spent every year to provide public assistance for 54% of fast-food workers. A speaker from NC Raise Up will share information about their efforts to improve fast food workers' pay and help employees receive a livable wage.
Pray at the Legislature

Come Help PLM Families Together Grow!
