All Saints Sunday
As the leaves fall and the trees become barren, we are reminded of loved ones, family and friends who have fallen like leaves and left us this past year. This is a tender time of autumn, a time to remember and give thanks for those we have lost. And so, we will celebrate all our loved ones on All Saints Sunday on November 6 at the 10:30 morning worship. If you want to have your loved one’s name read out during the church service that day, please give the person’s name, date of their passing, and their relationship to you, to either Pastor Alecia or church secretary Sandy Bissett by Saturday, November 5. We will light candles to commemorate the loved ones who have been important in our lives. If you are worshipping at home, you’re invited to have memory candles ready to light at your house as we light them in church to remember and give thanks. Join us at church or on FaceBook live at 10:30 am as we give thanks to God for the saints in our lives.
Breakfast!
Now that we have your attention; Thanksgiving is November 24 and Advent begins November 27. To start off this holiday season on Sunday, November 20, we will first have a continental breakfast at 9:30 a.m. followed by our regular church service. After the service we will be decorating the sanctuary for the Christmas season; decorating usually takes about an hour and a half. Please stay if you can. Christmas music will be playing to get everyone in the holiday mood.
So remember: Sunday, November 20 there will be breakfast, followed by church service and decorating. Come and join the fun!

Congregational Meeting
Our annual meeting to elect officers and approve budget will be after the church service December 4. Ed will also report on what we have been doing since our return to in-person worship. We plan to have budget and officer information available two weeks before the meeting for those who wish to have it in advance. We will also include our October financial report so members can see our monthly activity. You may direct any questions you may have to Ed either before or during the meeting. Looking forward to seeing you there.
