We have Community Dinner (6:00 PM) and Bible Study (7:00 PM). Everyone is invited to come tonight for a special reason: John Walsh has been worshiping with us for the last several months (he brings his adorable little daughter with him, and usually sits with Toni Kulak). He is packing up for Iraq on Saturday to drive trucks and will be coming tonight to have us pray for him. Even if Wednesday nights are not a regular thing for you, perhaps you'd be able to come tonight to pray with John?

Well the series on American Idols is complete. I want to take just one more week to wrap-up some loose ends. Many people have asked some questions or given some insight, and I want to respond in part to these. I'd also like to invite any and all to send me more questions you might have about any of the topics (to refresh your memory, you can click on the link above to see them all or even listen to them again). Please e-mail me with questions. - Pastor Jeremy

Faith Promise 2009
We had a good Faith Promise Weekend. As you pray about Faith Promise giving this coming year, you can place the response cards in the joy boxes around the sanctuary. We also promised to send you information about how you can stay aware about what the Church of the Nazarene is doing throughout the world. For general news, you can subscribe to a weekly e-mail through NCN News. For more specific prayer needs, visit the prayer site for Nazarene Missions International. There is a "prayer mobilization" line that you can subscribe to there as well.

The Remembrance Over Pizza
Join us for The Remembrance at 6:00 Sunday night this week as we'll gather in the Newell Gathering Room this week (no music!). We'll eucharistically share in pizza together (so bring what you can to contribute to pay for the pizza and drinks) and share in fellowship, games, or whatever else people want to do. -------------------------------------------------------
Men's Breakfast "For All" and Work Day
The Facilities Committee has planned a work day for Saturday, October 24th. But we surely can't work without a full breakfast, so the men will be preparing and serving breakfast for everyone. We'll eat at 8:30 AM and work together around 9:15 AM or so. There are plenty of needs, so the more hands, the better!
-------------------------------------------------------
Halloween falls on a Saturday evening this year (October 31st). We will be handing out hot apple cider to those who are walking past the church building that evening. And while we're at it, we're making it a game night. We'll begin handing out the cider around 6:00 (I can't find official Hingham trick-or-treating hours, if anyone knows them, feel free to clue me in). Come and join us!

Year B Community Scripture Way - A Guide To Prayer for All PeopleBelieve it or not, the end of the liturgical church year is quickly coming! Christ the King Sunday, the last Sunday of the year, is November 22. So that means our Community Scripture Way is also coming to an end for the year. This next year, we will be using a bit of a different format for the CSW. A Guide To Prayer for All People is a great little book with scripture readings (that follow the lectionary), prayers, and short readings for reflection. It is very adaptable and will allow for us to choose individually each day how much time is put into prayer and reading. The book usually costs $16, but with more of us buying it, we can get them for $13. Those who can are encouraged to give a little bit more to help pay for those who can't. Couples and families are welcome to share a book (or not!). If you would like one, please e-mail stating so. We will hand out the books on November 22.
-------------------------------------------------------
This year. November 1st, All Saints' Day falls on a Sunday. We will have pre-lit candles in the sanctuary recognizing those who've impacted us in Christ. If you would like to have a candle lit for someone specific, send an e-mail with his/her name and date of death. If you are able to help cover the expense, $3 per candle would help (but please don't let this amount be a hindrance from sending in names for remembrance!). Remembering the faithfulness and lives of those who've gone before us is a great way to be challenged today in the continued revealing of God's Kingdom.-------------------------------------------------------
As always, use the online calendar to keep up with our gatherings.
