Crazy weather. Yesterday was almost 90, today it's barely 50. Well,
it is New England!
Thank you to everyone who participated in Consecration Sunday. Much
gratitude to those who returned their Faith Promises. If you have
not done so, please do as soon as possible. Thank you!

States. One-third of NIN funds support the Council for American
Indian Ministries. Two-thirds of this offering is used by the UCC's
Justice and Witness Ministries to support a variety of justice

doing justice work in their communities.
Women’s Fellowship Circle
Meeting will be meeting on Wednesday, October 16th at
7:00 p.m. in Fellowship Hall. The guest speaker is from Living
Essential Oils and a Mini DIY night. She will give an overview of
how oils can be used. You can then make a foaming hand soap in a
take-home dispenser bottle for a small fee. We need to have a
head-count for her purposes so sign-up in the alcove or see Sue
Lindley. Please plan to join us for a fun
evening!!
Women’s Fellowship will be
presenting a program on Retirement Income Planning on Sunday, Oct.
27 after our service. We have invited Rebecca Miller back as her
presentations have been informative and helpful. Feel free to bring
a friend! Refreshments will be served. Although signing up is not
mandatory, we appreciate you putting your name on the sheet in the
alcove so we have an idea as to how many to prepare for. See Denise
Wilson or Sue Lindley with questions.
The Pumpkin & Holly Fair is coming up on November
22nd & 23rd. Watch your future bulletins for
more information or contact co-chairs: Terri Johnston, Jaqui Olivo,
Judy Tucker, Justine Connery. Please do not leave any Santa’s Attic
items until after 10/15 so the volunteers have time to catch up. No
clothing please-leave them in My Sister’s Place bin in Fellowship
Hall. Thank you.
Let us pray. O Holy God, thank you for the
abundant blessings you have offered us. May we accept them
with joy and use them to make the world a better place.
Amen.
In Christ's love,
Rev. Lucille
