These items are from Avon who is also holding a ‘kiss cancer goodbye’ fundraiser, nationwide. Stop by and see our booth before everything is gone!
† SUNDAY SCHOOL The Sunday School children will be singing in church next Sunday at the end of the service. They would like to share with the congregation a couple of songs they have been working on this quarter!
† HOBO SUPPER NOVEMBER 4 AT 5:00 PM The HOBO supper is back! Wear your best HOBO costume and of course bring your HOBO stew fixins … already cooked, of course, to add to the pot. We are having a pumpkin decoration contest for kids. They need to bring their decorated pumpkin to the HOBO supper to be judged. **We will not be decorating them that evening. The Fellowship committee is your host. There is a sign-up sheet on the round table in the narthex for desserts. Contact Lora Wacker with any questions.
† SURVEY RESULTS The survey results are in and a clear majority of the congregation prefers to have one service at 9:00 am followed by Sunday School at 10:30 am. The Elder’s official decision will be presented at the upcoming Voter’s meeting on October 28 at 7:00 pm. Thanks you to everyone who took the time to complete a survey and provide comments.
