GOD'S BRUSH... The many trees
that adorn the landscape of ACS'
scenic campus are especially
beautiful as the leaves turn
crimson red, sun-blown orange,
and harvest yellow and brown at
this time of year. Every day we
view God's ornate handiwork in a
multi-color fagade of awesome
beauty.
It is also a beautiful thing to see
the lives of children and young
people touched and changed by a
special touch of the Master's hand.
Training young minds and
providing a channel for the Lord to
touch tender hearts are basic goals
at ACS. Call today for information

Political Discussion, Painting Class, Quilt Exhibit
All On Tap At Commerce Library During November
Spooky Story Hour
Katie Hellmeister To Wed
Brandon Brown Dec. 1
The Commerce Public Library
staff sees enjoyable days ahead,
with a number of seasonal activi
ties plus some that are fun at any
time.
A “meet-up” is scheduled for
Thursday evening, Nov. 8, from 6
to 8 p.m. A roundtable for those
of all political persuasions to
discuss social issues and current
events, it is open to the public,
and all are invited.
The following week brings
a One-Stroke Painting class
offered by Deborah Farley. A
$35 instruction fee is charged
for this opportunity to learn the
basics of a style of painting that
can open the art to those who
never thought they could paint
at all — and who always wanted
to try.
The Cold Sassy Quilters will
hang their Holiday Quilt Exhibit
in the library’s meeting room
Nov. 17, and it will open for view
ing Nov. 19, when the quilters
hold a workshop from 10 a.m. to
2 p.m.
And then, right after
Thanksgiving, the Harmony
Grove Garden Club will arrive to
decorate the library’s Christmas
tree Tuesday morning, Nov. 27.
And later that week, the Book
Vine will meet Friday, Nov. 30, at
1:30 to enjoy dessert and coffee
as they discuss “The Jane Austen
Book Club.” All are welcome to
join the discussion (and enjoy
the dessert); if you would like
help getting a copy of the book
in advance of the meeting, please
inquire at the library’s front desk.
Copies can be borrowed from
other libraries through the state
wide PINES network at no cost
to you.
Plant Swap
Hit By Drought
The library’s annual Fall Plant
Swap, held last Saturday, was a
quiet affair. “We typically have
a great turnout, but not this
time,” says library director Susan
Harper.
“We weren’t really surprised,”
she adds. “People had told me
that they were reluctant to put
something into the ground
when they weren’t sure they
could keep it alive. The current
water restrictions have had a big
impact.”
Anticipating this, the Friends
of the Library had created con
tainer gardens suitable for a sun
