English Ministry News and Notes 9-22-13

• Hosting Hospitality Hour ~ Our time immediately after service is an important time of fellowship. This is where we catch up with friends and meet new ones. Food is an important way we extend hospitality. If you are willing to pitch in by hosting and sharing food, please sign up on the big board in the social hall . The last quarter of the year is quite open at this time!

• World Communion Sunday Joint Worship Celebration ~ We will celebrate this special Sunday on October 6th at 10:30 a.m. We welcome the Rev. Chuck Cordes to be with us. Please note that there will not be any Sunday School that morning. Worship will be followed by a simple bread and soup luncheon. Thanks to the following volunteers who will be providing soup: Mabel and Roy (CM side), Arlene, Aeri, Donna, and Laura (EM side). And thanks to Peggy’ and her friend, Nancy Frank-Radin, who will provide the bread from Metropolis Baking Company.

• Don’t miss our new Adult Sunday School series led by Aeri,,“24/6: A Prescription for a Healthier, Happier Life”. The series started this morning and runs for four weeks. Come and learn how holy rest can transform our lives.
