Dear Church Family,
I hope everyone has been enjoying the fall weather and the changing of the leaves. I have 2 nieces in California who have never seen the leaves change.
Announcements:
The Guiding Council will meet Sunday, October 20th immediately following the worship service in the sanctuary. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Ladies Bible Study will not meet tomorrow due to the fact that 3 of us have appointments. We will meet again next Wednesday at 9am in room 104. We will be discussing week 1 and how our new habits and exercising is going. It’s not to late to join, contact me to order “The body tithe” or purchase your own. After the study we will be walking around the church to get our exercise in. If the time frame doesn’t fit your schedule you are welcome to join remotely like Aimee.
If you are interested in helping with the United Methodist Church hurricane relief efforts, go to the website for the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) at https://umcmission.org/umcor/ The full amount of your donation will be given to the relief effort of your choice.
