New Member Class: We are getting ready for new member class. If you would like to know more, see the Rev. Cameron. There is no obligation to join! October Mission: The Mission Collection for October is for Peace and Global Witness. This Offering encourages the church of our time to cast off anxiety and fear, discord and division, and embrace our reconciling God’s mission with those around the corner and around the world, as active peacemakers, at all times in all ways. The 2023 theme for is from the book of Isaiah: You shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace (55:12 ESV). This year's devotions cover four areas of peace work: climate change, non-violence, the intersection between race and poverty, and issues of immigration and migration. Our congregation keeps 25% of the monies collected, which we will be giving to Five Rivers Environmental Education Center. 25% goes to Presbytery and Synod peace and mission, and 50% to the Presbyterian Mission Agency peace and reconciliation ministries. Blessing of the Animals: This Sunday at 4:00 pm we will celebrate the “Blessing of the Animals.” All are invited to bring your pet, or a photo of your pet. We will meet outside for a service of prayer and blessing, followed by fellowship!

This is a free event, but they will be accepting donations. These Days for October, November and December is now available in both small and large print. They are on the table outside of the sanctuary. Lay Readers Needed: It doesn’t take much to be a lay reader, and it’s one more way you can serve the church. The verses are emailed to the lay reader in time for them to have time to practice. Practice involves reading the passage twice — slowly, then reading it live on Sunday morning. That’s it! Can you help? Contact Carolyn in the office.

"Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, beloved, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Keep on doing the things that you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you."
