Dear Friends,
The glorious autumn days with warm temperatures seem like late summer. November, though, is here, and we are heading towards the end of the church year, and the new Advent season. May these beautiful fall days be filled with blessing for you and your friends and families.
This Sunday, November 13th: PROVISIONING SUNDAY!! We’ll celebrate the 22nd Sunday after Pentecost with our Stewardship theme of OUR FAITH VOYAGE. We’ve heard wonderful testimonies from members during worship these last several weeks. Our thanks to all the speakers, Kathy Eckles, Rachel Merchant, and Chris Larson, and our great thanks to Laurie Jamieson, our Stewardship captain, and her stewardship crew, who have made this campaign so moving and inspiring.
