Dear Folks,

Hope you all voted today!

This Thursday, November 10, is my prayer day.  If you have any joys or concerns you would like me to raise up to God, please let me know.

This Sunday, November 13, is the Twenty-Third Sunday after Pentecost.  The scripture is Isaiah 65:17-25.  The sermon is “A New Thing”.   The service will be on-site and live streamed on Facebook.

Sunday School will be held during the service.

ALL HAND ON DECK!  The Pumpkin & Holly Fair is quickly approaching, November 18, 5:30 p.m. to 8, and November 19, 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.  Any help is greatly appreciated!  Items are still needed!  Please consider donating at:  www.signupgenius.com/go/70a0a44a4ae2fa7fc1-fair

Please note that we are not accepting items for Santa’s Attic/Tag Sale at this time. Please do not leave items in Reuman House.

Please be sure to pick up a Pumpkin & Holly Fair lawn sign for your property.  They are just inside the side door to the Alcove.
