This week's Stewardship Reflection:

PLENTY GOOD JOY

Through heartfelt worship and fellowship, we nurture the joyful spirit that emerges from abiding in the love of God and each other. This week, we express gratitude for the joy that our church brings to us and contemplate the ways we can commit to spreading this joy. There is Plenty Good Room for all to experience the joy of abiding in God’s love.  

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Our annual Holiday Bazaar is quickly approaching! See below to sign-up to help with our biggest fundraiser of the year. You can also help us get the word out by sharing the image above with your friends and on social media.

Holiday Bazaar: Wednesday Craft Night

Please join on Wednesday night in the Parish Hall from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm to work on one of the many items we'll be selling at this year's holiday bazaar. We provide the instructions and supplies along with some really great company. It's also a relaxing way to unwind from the workday's stress. Your support will help us make this year's bazaar a great success! For more information, you can contact Janet Rossi.

Vendor Tables Available at Our Holiday Bazaar!

Looking to showcase your products this holiday season, or know someone who is? We have 2 vendor table spaces still available at our Holiday Bazaar! Tables are $30 each and are a great opportunity to connect with the community and share your goods.

Bazaar Volunteers Needed

We're looking for volunteers to assist with setup on Friday afternoon and to lend a hand during the Bazaar on Saturday from 9:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. Whether you can help for an hour or the whole event, we'd be grateful for your support!

Join us after the service on Sunday, November 22 for our Church and Rectory Fall Cleanup! Bring a rake, gloves, a leaf blower, or simply a willingness to pitch in. Be sure to label your tools so they make it home with you!

No experience necessary—if you can tell the difference between a leaf and a lawn, you're qualified!

Join St. Dunstan's in Dover as they assemble 300 care kits for our unhoused neighbors in Boston! The kits will include items requested by MANNA (Many Angels Needed Now and Always), a ministry serving the unhoused community at the Cathedral Church of St. Paul.

We’ll pack backpacks with supplies and write personal notes to remind recipients they are not alone. These notes mean so much to those who receive them and to those who write them.

Stay afterward for snacks and fellowship!

October Vestry Notes

The vestry met on October 19th. Rev. Lynn shared information about two community groups with which she has recently become involved. We celebrated our fall BlossomWithAdvent fundraiser and continued planning for the Holiday Bazaar to be held on November 14th. We also began a discussion about socially responsible investing. The next vestry meeting is November 9th. If you have any questions, suggestions, or concerns for the vestry, please reach out to the appropriate vestry liaison.

Take a look at some photos from our All Saints’ Day service. We gathered to remember and give thanks for the saints and loved ones who have gone before us, celebrating the many ways their lives continue to shape our faith and community. Photo Credit: Kristen P
