Bring a Picture of Your Loved One to Church for our Ofrenda – Our youth have created an Ofrenda on our Lady Altar. An Ofrenda is a way to honor those who have passed who are meaningful to us. As we prepare for All Saint’s Sunday, you are invited to bring photo, framed or unframed, of beloved family member or friend who you have lost but wish to still remember. There will be a basket next to the Lady Altar where you can leave your photo. We will be collecting photos from this Sunday, October 27 through next Sunday, November 3. Please make sure your name is on the back of the photo or frame. The photos will be added to the Ofrenda and be part of our worship service on November 3. When the Ofrenda is taken down, you will be able to pick up the picture of your loved one in White Hall. Questions? Contact Harper Bathel

All Saints' intercessory prayer list requests are due by October 28. All Saints' Sunday (November 3) is the day when we remember the names of all those who have been buried from this church since the last All Saints' Day. If you would like to list the names of others who have died, please send their full names to Allison in the parish office.

All Saints Flowers: We will continue our tradition of beautiful flowers given to the glory of God and in memory of the saints for All Saints Sunday. There is one arrangement in White Hall available for dedication and the cost is $100. Contact the parish office to reserve.

Trick or Treat! We need your help filling the red wagon with Halloween candy. On Halloween we’re inviting parishioners to come help us pass out candy to trick-or-treaters that come by the church. We’ll also have bathrooms available for anyone who needs them. Bring your candy any time between now and Halloween, and join us Halloween night in your best costume to spread some spooky (and holy) fun in the neighborhood.

A Post-Bazaar Half-Price Sale will take place this Sunday, October 27. All items marked with a "heart" label will be 50% off. Many giftable items will go for a song. This sale is not to be missed. We will have miniature Christmas Trees for sale in White Hall. They make great presents for those people who no longer want to deal with putting up and decorating a larger tree. We also have seasonal wreaths for sale, both autumn and Christmas. And, our best treat, dark chocolate peanut clusters will also be available in White Hall. For those who were unable to get to the bazaar or church last weekend, we still have a handful of pies left as well as 1 quart of our beef vegetable soup. The pies include Lemon Chess Pie, Cranberry Nut Pie, and Chocolate Pecan Chess Pie. All will make a delicious finish to a dinner.

To all those who brought us cookies and other delights in plastic containers, we saved them and they can be found on the back shelf over the card tables in White Hall.

A GREAT BIG THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HELPED THE HOLIDAY MARKET BAZAAR SUCCEED! We had at least 112 individuals who took on jobs that helped get this event off the ground. We had people cooking before the bazaar as well as during the bazaar. And people cooked at home. Volunteers priced, packed, and beautifully arranged a huge variety of items for sale. They counted cash, packaged bought items, and made our customers feel at home. Some volunteers did multiple jobs from cooking to creating to cleaning. Some of our workers were church staff who set up the oh-so-many tables and chairs and who gave advice, permission, and support. And, let's not forget all of our vendors, many of whom are parishioners in our church. They brought beautiful handcrafted items to be sold. It may take a village to raise a child but it definitely takes a church to put on a great bazaar. We couldn't have done it without you!
