The Lord be with You,
Grace and peace to you in the name of Jesus Christ our Savior.
We had a hearty turnout for Communion Sunday this past weekend. When the trays were returned to the table in the front of the church, there were only 5 or 6 little cups of juice left!
It was a joy to also welcome home Sharon Huffman, Anna Lee and Elmer Schuster to worship. Thanks be to God for hearing our prayers for healing.
We need to also lift in prayer:
New Baby, born healthy, to Jessica and Cameron Mueller. Thanks be to God!
Those who seek gainful employment
For Dennis Townsend's family and dear friends (the service is today)
Renewal of the Church
Glenda Coles, physical therapy, after surgery
Anna Lee Schuster, physical therapy, after surgery
Jenna Morris' knee
Sheila Martinez (Susie's cousin), getting better

For those seeking warmth, food in this change of season
With Thanksgiving and Concern, for veterans and their families, and for those who presently serve to protect our nation.
Those who are discerning the call to join God's Church
Today I am trying to see if we will have a "quorum" to have yoga class. I'll be in touch with the Yoga folks and we will decide whether we are meeting at noon today.
Tonight: Session Meets at 4:00PM in the library.
Tomorrow and Friday - Exercise, Eat and Pray at 10:00. Gentle yet challenging exercise for all ages, followed by fun and coffee!
Sunday - Worship at 11:00AM. Invite your neighbors!
New Member Class: I am currently building a list of individuals who are interested in joining the church. If you are one of those people, please let me know. I plan on providing a one-hour New Member Class on Sunday, November 17th at 9:30AM. That's Potluck Sunday, but with a little prep, you can swing it! Those who complete the class may be eligible to join by profession of faith as soon as December 8th. I will also provide a second time for those who simply cannot come to the one on the 17th.
Project Idea! I am working on an "information card" that can be placed in the pews to teach people about our worship service and the elements of it. If you have an interest in helping me put it together, please tell me. It can be informative to our frequent attendees, but also to help those who visit us.
Friends, there are always opportunities to serve God in the Church, and there are opportunities all around us. You may never grow bored if you start looking around and asking questions.
I hope you feel free to do that with me. May the Lord bless you and keep you till we meet again.
Love,
Rev. Amy
