Last Sunday you heard about the Halloween Food Drive and
you may even have a flyer, but what we really intended was for you to take at
least five or ten flyers to share with neighbors, so we can multiply the
offering to the Food Bank, and share our church’s missional focus.
More flyers available this week.
It is getting very exciting over at the Aurora Property. The carpet and tile were cleaned by professionals, and the nine bathrooms were scrubbed by dedicated Sherry while Jim and Denny carefully removed hornets’ nests.
Tonight at the Session meeting, the Building Vision Team was authorized to spend up to $40,000 on necessary improvements, such as cleaning the A/C units, purchasing a used pulpit and communion table, moving forward with signage, separating the water meter from the missionary village, buying rolling fellowship carts, tables, and projector, and ordering major landscape work. Other teams are involved in many of these decisions. A few will be working Saturday to pressure-wash the building and remove some debris in the courtyard. A major workday is planned forNovember 17, after we close.
Thanks to all who have helped pack boxes. We hope to have small item moving day on Wednesday at 9:00 and large items Saturday at 9:00. We will confirm the Wednesday date, after we secure Aurora’s permission on Tuesday.
We began our Gratitude Season a week early with the story of the ten lepers last week. This Sunday we continue with the imperative in Deuteronomy 8 and Mark 8 not to forget what God has done and can do. We see God’s goodness in the gift of this land through your generous giving. Gratitude Feast is November 10.
This Sunday after worship or after lively learning (whichever suits you best) you are encouraged to enjoy a Pre-Siesta Fiesta. Taco bar provided by the youth families, and lemonade provided by Kids Club. Donate to support the kids, instead of the local restaurant this week.
Finally, please do come tomorrow night – Friday 7:30-8:30 to learn from Rev. Helavio Poget from Madagacar and Doug Tilton, PCUSA liaison for Southern Africa about what peacemaking means in their contexts. They have come a long way to share so we can drive a short distance to listen.
Peace, love, and prayers,
Elizabeth
