I want to begin by thanking everyone for Minister Appreciation! It is always wonderful to read the cards and have kind conversations celebrating our shared ministry. Anne and I love you all so much. As I said before, our relationship as pastor and congregation is unique and somewhat rare these days. We could adequately describe it as a blessing. Thanks to Martha Behymer and all her assistants for the great celebration and very good cake!

​

We have just concluded our stewardship campaign. Thanks for considering the ways you are Called to be Generous with time and talent and treasure. For those who have turned in your pledge cards, thanks for your promises and prayers. If you have yet to make a pledge card but wish to do so, feel free to connect with our Administrative Assistant, Bri Honeycutt to finalize. 

​

Our most current directory is soon to be available to you. You can choose to receive a hard copy or an electronic copy. Or both. Look for the information to respond electronically or sign up in the parlor on a Sunday morning. Thanks to Anne, Martha, and Bri for all their work on this!

​

Starting this month we are starting up youth group again. Chi Rho will be for those in upper elementary to 8th grade and will meet on Tuesday, November 17 for games and snacks and discussion. Please encourage the young ones in your families to attend and bring friends! If you’d be interested in being a youth sponsor or providing snacks, connect with me.

Have you noticed all the good things happening around church? A successful park golf scramble and support from Edison Elementary to assist our Emergency Cupboard. Four new members in October. A positive stewardship campaign. Great music during worship. Interesting and vibrant Sunday School. Lots of kids at children’s moment. Amazing staff. Numerous volunteers helping in various ways. These are just a few of the fantastic ways we are making a difference as a church. With the busy fall we have experienced, it is good sometimes to remember the goodness we share. And to celebrate. May the spirit continue to move in and through us that we might continue to receive and share God’s love.

I look forward to seeing you soon!

Peace,

Kelly
