Worldwide Communion in October
The Sacrament of Holy Communion will be celebrated on Worldwide Communion Sunday, October 4. If you have visited another country, please send Pastor Lynn a photograph of that country via text message, Facebook Messenger, or email by Saturday, October 3. These photos will be shown during worship, reminding us that there will be Christians celebrating Communion in every country on earth on that day. Since our worship will be online, everyone is invited to prepare your own Communion elements using food from one of the foreign countries that you have visited. I hope that many of you can join our virtual community of faith on that day.
Fellowship in the Park
During the month of October, if the weather allows, everyone is invited to gather in our recreation park at 1:00 p.m. each Sunday afternoon for some badly-needed fellowship! We ask that you wear a mask and observe social distancing. Although we love you, please do not join us if you are ill or have been exposed to COVID-19. The restrooms will be open for your use. Bring a lawn chair, a picnic lunch, or a game to share with others. Your dog is welcome, too (but please keep her on a leash). Come out and enjoy the park and each other’s company! Ed Miller will send out a One Call each Saturday to let everyone know the plans for each Sunday.
During our October 4 Sunday afternoon gathering in our recreation park, weather permitting, we will observe the blessing of the animals. Bring your dog on a leash, your cat in a carrier, or whatever companion animal shares your home to receive a blessing from Pastor Lynn.
It’s almost Halloween; and that means that it’s time for our yearly spooky movie night!
This year, due to COVID restrictions, we will watch our movie in the picnic shelter in the park on Sunday evening, October 18. The movie, “Murder by Death,” will begin at 7:00 p.m. Bring your own popcorn and beverage, and your own lawn chair. The cold won’t stop us – bring a warm blanket and cuddle up – but if it is raining, we will push the date back to the following Sunday, October 25. Ed Miller will send out a One Call on Saturday, October 17 to confirm the date. Hope to see you all there!
The United Mite Fellowship will not meet during the remainder of 2020
The leadership feels that it is not safe because of COVID concerns. There will also be NO peanut brittle made this year. We hope that 2021 will bring some much-needed normalcy and that we can resume making peanut brittle next year.
Mission News
--Because of Jeff Madewell’s poor health, we will not be participating in the Rosebud mission project again this year. Please pray for all the residents of the Rosebud Indian Reservation.
--The Milton-Union Council of Churches is again encouraging us to support the Milton-Union Bulldog Bags that are given to low-income families to provide weekend food for students who might otherwise go hungry. The information about the program is included elsewhere in this newsletter. Our Mission Team plans to send a generous donation to the program. Why don’t you consider supporting it personally? Your dollars will make a difference to a hungry child!
The CROP Walk is scheduled for Sunday, October 11 this year. Please contact Sandy in the church office if you are interested in either walking or supporting Church World Service with your financial donations.
