Thou Gracious God, Whose Mercy Lends
Words Oliver Wendall Holmes Arr. Mack Wilberg
Thou Gracious God, whose mercy lends The light of home, the smile of friends, Our gathered flock Thine arms enfold,
As in the peaceful days of old.
Wilt Thou not hear us while we raise, In sweet accord of solemn praise, The voices that have mingled long In Joyous flow of mirth and song?
For all the blessings life has brought,
For all the sorrowing hours have taught, For all we mourn, for all we keep
The hands we clasp, the loved that sleep.
The noontide sunshine of the past, These brief, bright moments fading fast, The stars that gild our dark’ning years,
The twilight ray from holier spheres.
We thank Thee Father; let Thy grace Our loving circle still embrace,
Thy mercy shed its heav’nly store, Thy peace be with us evermore.
Thy mercy shed its heav’nly store Thy peace be with us evermore.

MEDICAL MISSIONARY “MARIE VICTOR.”
You will recall the Ms. Victor a former Metro member who was baptized here, spoke here during home furlough last June, and has now returned and is serving in a Philippines outpost. When here she requested ‘financial assistance.’ She is employed by Laymen Ministries which is an SDA Self-supporting ministry preaching the Gospel and spreading the Three Angels messages in the Philippines and around the world. Laymen Ministries asks all its workers to seek and solicit financial support for her travel, sustenance and organizational operating costs. The 4th Quarter 2018 special offering for Marie Victor will be received on Sabbath November 10. We ask that this freewill offering be separate from and above Tithe, Church Budget and MAP offerings. Church Treasurer, Miriam Schmidt, asks that this ‘Victor offering’ be in a ‘separate’ offering envelope marked “VICTOR-PHILIPPINES.” (Cash or Check made out to Metro SDA Church. If you are not ready at this time, this can be received anytime during this quarter as Mrs. Schmidt will send the Marie Victor collections to Laymen Ministries at the end of each quarter) You will receive income tax deduction for these gifts on our year end Metro total offerings receipt. Her medical missionary work serves as the Right Arm to our Message.
Thank you. - - - Elder Richard Lane - - -

Pizza Day is Wednesday, November 14. Cost is $1.00 per slice and 50 cents for juice. Pizza is the only food item and par-ents are requested to supplement their students lunch with fruit and/or veggies. An order form is attached to this newslet-ter and MUST be turned in by the end of the school day, Tuesday, November 13.
School Pictures were sent home with students this week. Some of the finished products were less than satisfactory. We have made arrangements with Lifetouch for a Retake Day. If you would like to have your student’s photo retaken please return the original packet and we will put them on the list for Monday, December 3rd to have a retake.
The Food Store will NOT be open Wednesday, November 14. It will however be open Thursday, November 15 from 2:30 to 3:30. Remember, there is no school the following week and any Thanksgiving food items you plan to use need to be purchased before we go on break.
It’s getting to be “that time of year” when the weatherman uses the “s” word- - snow! We will continue to use the same qualifier to determine school closings. If either Plym-outh-Canton Schools are closed or North-ville Schools are closed, we also will be closed. However, we are planning to notify parents on their cell phones with a “One Call Now” call. We will be doing a “test” call in the near future. This way if your power is out and TV and internet are not working, you will still receive notification in a timely manner.
Fall Week of Prayer begins Monday, November 12. Pastor Luke Penrod, Associ-ate Pastor at Metro and Farmington Churches will be conducting this series of Chapel sessions. Since these are held first hour in the morning, it is important for students to arrive on time each day.
Veterans Day Lunch was held Wednesday, November 7. Guests were treated to a Hot Lunch and a short musical presentation. Students in grades K-6 enthusiastically performed several patriotic songs.
Left: K-6 stu-dents in red, white & blue top hats sang with gusto for our guests.
Right: Vet-erans from various decades of service joined us for a “thank you lunch”.
