Operation Christmas Child, Samaritan’s Purse Christmas boxes are available at the back of the Deersville UM Church with a list of items one can put in the box. The deadline is Nov. 14 to have them back at the church to be delivered to children around the world for this Christmas season. On Monday, Oct. 11 at 10 a.m., the Woody Paul Blanket Mission will be at the Deersville United Methodist Church in the fellowship hall. There will be a covered dish lunch. Anyone who can tie a knot is welcome.

The next meeting of the Deersville Community Garden Club will be on Oct. 14 at the home of Rebekah Henry with Becky Walton as co-hostess. Betty McConnell and Lorraine Gladman will present the program.

On Saturday, Oct. 23, the Deersville Community Volunteer Fire Department will be holding a bean soup and cornbread dinner from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. It will be dine-in or carryout. The cost is by donation. Besides the soup beans and cornbread, one will receive a cup of cider and a cookie. It sounds like a great time to follow the Moravian Trail to see the fall foliage and get a meal that supports the fire department.
