October – A Time to Celebrate

October 25th is Reformation Sunday. Walt is going to put together a light luncheon for fellowship after the service. Then on November 1st we will be having a Mortgage Burning ceremony with a grand meal after the service. There will be a sign-up sheet in the Fellowship Hall for sides to share as the meat is being donated for the occasion. Plus, November 1st is All Saints Day. This is when we remember those saints that have passed from here and are now in Heaven.  As we remember those saints, we are somber, for they are not with us, but we should be glad and joyful that they know Jesus.

Pastor Appreciation is on October 11th!  Pastor Biar and family have been here for six years now! The time has just flown. They came as a family of two and now are a family of four. 

Let’s show the Pastor how much he is appreciated! There will be a basket for cards in the Fellowship Hall.

LWML Sundy is the 4th of October (NEXT SUNDAY). Please bring in EXTRA mite money to help support them.

The first full weekend of November is the annual LWML Craft Fair. NOVEMBER 6 and 7. LWML is looking for a couple of people that can help set up before and tear down Saturday afternoon of the event. This event is a BIG thing for the ladies of our congregation. Please volunteer and/or join us at the fair and find a couple of the Christmas gifts you need to buy this year. Contact Tami Woods, or Mary Lint if you have any questions or if you would like to help in any way with the fair. Remember that many hands make for little work. If helping others was easy and convenient, your help would not be a blessing.

We are also getting ready for the Voters meeting on December 6th. This time of year is always full of meetings and budget talks. Along with the election of all the Council and Elder positions we are also looking for more people to step up and help with Media, Ushering and Alter Guild. This is the time of year where all of us need to look inside of ourselves and say, “WHAT CAN I DO FOR JESUS AND FOR THE CHURCH”?   Contact the following for Medias- Linda Mulac; Usher – John Mulac; Council positions: Michael Johnson; Alter Guild – Karla Craig; Fellowship – Rita Sanderson and/or Denise Moorman; Craft Fair – Tami Woods and/or Mary Lint.   Hymn #827 “Hark, the voice of Jesus Calling” says in Verse 1, “Who will answer gladly saying, “Here am I, send me, send me.”                               

May the cooler days of Autumn give relief from the heat and a smile on your face. Smiling is contagious. Share your smile with others and let the world see the Son’s light shine from you. 

In our Lord’s Name, 
DeAl 

THE PRAYER: Heavenly Father, please help us to always keep our lives in focus, that we may guide others to your Love, that they may know the meaning of your Grace. Give our voices meaning to the ears of those in need. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
