FROM THE PASTOR...
If you are not much of an Internet person, then it is possible you are not familiar with the website Kickstarter. However, Kickstarter was a revolutionary concept for bringing creative projects to life. Previously for artists, writers, and designers the process to publication was an arduous one. It required an investment by a company or a lot of personal financial risk. Kickstarter changed the game though, by introducing the concept of crowdfunding.

November Mission of the Month - World Hunger In the month of November, 100% of your donations will be used to help fight World Hunger. Date of Special Offering: November 3, 2019 _______________________________
UNITED METHODIST WOMEN NEWS
Our meeting this month will be on Tuesday, November 12th at 1:30 p.m. in the Church Lounge. All women are invited! Carola Forsythe will be the leader. _______________________________ 
WOMEN'S GATHERING Abigail, Pastor's Sean's wife, wants to get to know the women of the church better. With two kids to manage it can be hard to find time to get to meet people before and after the services. To get better acquainted, Abigail invites the women of the church to join her at the Blue Jay Cafe at noon on Sunday, November 17th. There is no real agenda, just a chance to get to know each other better. ________________________________
FACILITIES & GROUNDS The Facilities and Grounds Team needs volunteers to join them in helping with the general maintenance of our church. If you feel that you could help serve in this ministry (in any small or large way), please call Jeff Abrams 574-806-9874. Or you can email the church office at [email protected]. |

"God has been good to me". What a great
Thanksgiving verse from Genesis! Why do
you celebrate Thanksgiving - to give thanks
to God for all He has done for you? Do you
have a home, a family, food to eat, a job,
freedom to attend church, and a great
country in which to live? God has given all
of these things to you!
Pilgrims were thankful for God's goodness to them. From stories about these people our preschoolers will see that Thanksgiving is a great time to thank God for all the goodness and love that He has shown them.
We will celebrate this special time by
learning about the first Thanksgiving and
creating colorful turkeys. We will be doing activities on shapes. We will be learning about the circle, square, triangle, and rectangle. I thank God for all of my Little Lights
and their parents! God surely has been
good to me!
__________________________________________
All elementary aged kids (K-6th grade) are invited to our Super Sunday Parties! These monthly parties are just for kids, and each month will have a different fun theme. This month is going to power up with a video game theme! The November party will be at the church on November 24th from 6:00-7:00 p.m.

Dear NJUMC,
The dear people you just helped with your gift to UMCOR may never have the opportunity to meet you, but if they did, I am certain their response would be - Thank you! And through your financial support you are serving within a vital network of interactive relationships in the U.S. and in more than 60 countries in which UMCOR and partnering agencies engage in direct ministry to persons in need.
Grace and Peace,
Roland Fernandes, COO, Treasurer
