Blessing of the Animals

All properly restrained dogs, cats, birds, and other pets are invited to church Sunday, October 4th, at the 10am service for The Blessing of the Animals. If your pet doesn’t travel well, you can bring a picture. You can also bring your favorite stuffed animal to be blessed!

Auction Items Wanted!

The October 24th Pasta Dinner and Auction (see flyer below) needs your unique talents and treasures! We are accepting donations to help make this event a success. Whether it is a physical item, a helpful service (like lawn care or babysitting), or your famous homemade baked goods, gift cards, every contribution helps support our community. Please see Shirley Ayers.

Food Bank

As unwanted calendars and note cards arrive in the mail please recycle them to the Food Bank. We add them to our holiday baskets along with whatever personal care products have accumulated during the year. On that note, anytime you have unopened travel sized toiletries they, too, will be welcome. We are also looking for newspaper plastic bags and clean bags that you might put your fresh produce in at markets. Believe it or not - I really can’t, but it’s true - we need the full-size plastic bags that were so common at store checkout counters.  And yes, we can always use baked beans and canned fruit. Thanks in advance for your help.

Coat of Many Colors Updates

We are doing a boot call for winter boots sizes 0-100. The ones we have are flying off the shelves. (Per Nancy, if you have a question about the size range, have Lee Ann explain, lol) 

It's also underwear stock-up season. Cash and new itemsof underwear and socks would be greatly appreciated. We were fortunate to receive a donation of 200 pairs of mens Bombas socks through New Beginnings Meal Site, so socks are most needed for women and children of all ages. As always, thank you for helping us help those in need.

Bible Study

Wednesdays at 6:30pm (following the 5:30pm service; no study on the 4th Wednesday of the month) in the ECW Room. Anyone who is interested in studying the scriptures is invited to attend. Topics are selected by the participants—sometimes we choose a full book of the Bible, sometimes we focus on themes or ideas and trace them to different sections of the scriptures. Come and experience God’s living word!
