RITE OF CONFIRMATION for Gina Bahe, Mitchell Knight, and Carrington Kreger will be held on Sunday, November 1.
CONFIRMATION for 6-8 graders will start later this fall.
THE WOMEN OF ETERNAL HOPE have decided to cancel the Annual Fall Bazar. We hope to have our 16th Annual Bazaar next year. Thank you to everyone that donated post cards for our save the date notice. We are still taking donations for next year if you have an opportunity to collect a few for us!
Music Greetings everyone I am contacting all of you as a member, or a member of your family that could be a potential choir and/or handchime player.
As you have heard or read, Confirmation is being planned for in a few weeks (Nov. 1), and Thanksgiving will be just around the corner, followed by Advent Season.
I would like to get a group together to sing on Nov. 1 for Confirmation Services. We can practice socially distanced in Sanctuary or Narthex. Please advise whether or not you would be willing to consider singing on Nov. 1 and be able to come to practice on Wednesday, October 28 at 6:45 p.m. Some additional practices will be added in November in preparation for Advent.
I would also like to get a group together for handchimes to play for Thanksgiving eve. I would like to have some youth, new and former players to assist with this. Having at least 7 or 8 participants would be helpful.
We would practice spaced out in the Narthex. Players may wear gloves, if they so choose, and masks as required.
I would like to schedule practices for handchimes on Wednesdays, November 11 and November 18 at 6:45 p.m.
THANK YOU to Mia Pelton for cleaning up the planter near the sign! As part of Girl Scouts, Mia had to complete a service project for her Duty to God requirement. She put her gardening skills to the test by adding perennial plants: sedum, orange Stella lilies, Russian sage, and two kids of irises. She also split the existing hostas and added some mushroom compost and new mulch on top. Thanks to Mia for serving the church!

STEWARDSHIP The Apostle Paul wrote the following to the believers in Ephesus. “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10). With changed hearts, we are enabled to render help and service to others. We are the instruments through which God works. Through our hands and feet, He brings love and care to the needy; through our lips, He tells others of His life-saving Gospel; and through our minds, hearts, and checkbooks, He supports the work of the Church.
