1. This Sunday - This past Monday evening many of us had a great time lighting up the neighborhood on All Hallow's Eve. You can see some pictures on our Facebook page. It was a great time! Halloween is the night prior to All Saints Day (Nov. 1st). We will again recognize our dead in Christ this first Sunday of November. If you would like to add an individual to be remembered, please email Pastor Jeremy so we can add a candle in their memory for this Sunday.

In addition, we will of course continue in our Words to Build a Life on series, looking at Matthew 6:22-24. So join us as we think upon and set the stage for acting upon Jesus' words concerning our lives being overloaded.


2. Kids in Worship:  TONIGHT! Friday, November 4 at 7pm, we will be meeting at the chapel to discuss our concerns and ideas about the involvement of and care for our children in our worship gatherings.  All are invited!  Please let Sarah know if you plan on being there or want to be a part of the conversation.

3. Advent Decorating We will be decorating the chapel for the Advent season on the afternoon of 11/20, following the potluck.  If you plan to be there, tell Sarah, especially if you can help with lifting things and assembling the Christmas tree.

4. Thanksgiving Themed Potluck- November's potluck will be on November 20th.  There will be a sign up sheet in the church foyer or you can send an email to Christina with what you are able to bring.  The following is what we need: turkey, ham, gravy, a few dozen of rolls, potatoes, sweet potatoes, vegetables,  and desserts. Thank you in advance!
