Dear Folks,
Our
thoughts, prayers, and our hopes for action go out to Sutherland
Spring, Texas, and anywhere violence is a reality. Lord, have
mercy.
Tomorrow is our next "LEO" (Let's Eat Out).
We will meet at 6:30 at Bull and Barley 350 Bridgeport
Avenue. The burgers are great!
This coming Sunday, November 12,
is the Twenty-Third Sunday after Pentecost. The scripture is
Amos 5:18-24. The sermon is "Everflowing". We will be
celebrating the baptisms of Lea Boroski and Maya Boyd.
Also this Sunday, we will be
taking an offering for Master’s Table. Master's Table’s
goal is to help the less fortunate members of our community and
includes veterans, elderly, unemployed, underemployed, poor,
migrants and homeless – women, men and children.
Master’s Table feeds the hungry by providing nourishment and
clothing. A basket will be available in the alcove for your
offering.
Thank you to everyone who
returned their Faith Promise/Pledge Cards. If you have not
yet returned yours, please do so. Your support is vital and
appreciated in keeping the conversation going.
The Pumpkin & Holly Fair is
quickly approaching, November 17th &
18th. We need your help to make this event a success.
Please contact the co-chairs: Terri Johnston, Jaqui Olivo, Judy
Tucker, or Justine Connery if you would like to contribute and/or
help in anyway.
Justine Connery, wrangler of the
pecans and cheese, needs help slicing cheese and packaging the
pecans. If you can, please help out on Wednesday, November 15
at 6:30 P.M. She especially needs some strong folks to
handle the cheese. Thanks!
Be sure to mark you calendar for
the Shelton Clergy Association Interfaith Thanksgiving service on
Tuesday, November 21, 7 P.M. at the Church of the Good Shepherd,
Episcopal, 182 Coram Avenue. The offering will go to Spooner
House. The imperishable food gathering will go to the Valley
Food Bank. Pumpkin dessert are requested for the fellowship time
following the service.
Let us pray. O God, we know
that the power of prayer is strong. But, please inspire us to
never us it as a substitute for action, if action is possible.
Amen.
In Christ's love,
Rev. Lucille
