We Begin Again in Love
Rev Lee Anne Washington
If done well, being human is a humbling experience. None of us are perfect and all of us have fallen short in some way at some time. Join us as Rev. Lee Anne explores what happens when we are willing to repair our relationship with ourselves and with others.
Rev. Lee Anne invites you to a discussion on this month's Soul Matters topic, Repair, in the East Room immediately following the service. Grab a cup of coffee and join her there!

The Share the Plate recipient for November will be the Education Law Center. The ELC pursues these goals: 1) Ensure all children in Pennsylvania have access to quality public educational services and to the full range of educational options that are available to their peers; 2) Hold officials and policymakers accountable for complying with the laws protecting the educational rights of the most disadvantaged children; 3) Keep state laws and state and local policies fair, aimed at ensuring equal access to quality schools, and reducing disproportionality along race and class lines.

Buildings and Grounds are requesting your assistance in removing accumulated, unused stuff from the shed, silos and various spaces that over time have become quite cluttered. We need help to restore these areas so they can be used more efficiently. Lunch will be provided. Work clothes and gloves are suggested.
If there are things that you may have left at the church you will need to retrieve them so they are not discarded.

The 8-9th grade OWL class is a very robust curriculum with many classes. In an effort to get them all in, we have made the classes 5-8:30 on two Sundays a month. They start this Sunday 11/17. This is during dinner time. Our hope is that individuals in the church will adopt a class to supply food and/or drink for the facilitators and youth. You do not have to have a child in the class to adopt one. If you are interested please sign up at this link. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
