*Great Thanks for a Festive Halloween Party! Close to 40 children and their families came for a sugar-fueled afternoon of fun, games, and community. Deep thanks for everyone who donated candy, brought refreshments, and shared their presence. Please mark your calendars now for a Christmas Concert and Party on Dec. 18th!
*United Methodist Student Day Special Offering - Did you know that the General Board of Higher Ed & Ministry (GBHEM) offers 5 different scholarships just for undergrad students, 4 additional scholarships open to undergrad & grad students, and that any active UM student can apply for college related loans? This is what your offering today enables GBHEM to support! You are invited to give generously!
*You're Invited to a Special BOAT Meeting - BOAT is calling a special meeting next Sunday, Nov. 13th to pray about and discern our relationship and future with Youth & Child Visionary Ministry. How is God leading us? How might we respond with courage and gentleness? Where's this all going? Your presence and prayers are important. Please plan to attend.
*We Give Thanks! We’ll celebrate Thanksgiving Sunday on Nov. 20th at 9:30 a.m. This Sunday will be a culmination of our stewardship series: Treasures of the Transformed Life. You are invited to come, celebrate and give thanks. Worship will be followed by an all church potluck. You are invited to bring a meat or veggie/salad dish to share (No dessert is necessary as the church will provide the sweets.)
*Stewardship Response Cards - Stewardship response cards are going out today. You’re invited to take it home, pray about it, and to listen intently for God's invitation. Please return it during worship on Thanksgiving Sunday, Nov. 20th. The cards are meant to be a way for you to prayerfully practice the "treasures" of our transformed life in Christ. Please connect with Pastor Emily if you have any question, concerns or would like to think together. Thank you!
*A Note From Our Children’s Sunday School -For the past several weeks, our Sunday School has been experiencing a new model, an intergenerational model, similar to a one room school house. The entire hour is structured as worship and includes music, prayer, scripture and story telling, a time to respond through activities/crafts, and offering of ourselves and our gifts. You are invited and needed to lead any of the above mentioned activities. They are in segments of 5 -18 minutes, depending on the activity. For example, Aeri teaches and leads singing for 8-10 minutes and leaves to attend adult Sunday School. The ministry team has been doing a great job but your participation is also needed. Please connect with me (Jane) to sign up for one Sunday or a short series of Sundays. Come and experience this new way to teach and learn. You'll love spending time with the children, too.
