United With Our Politics
Matthew 22:15-22
 
Is the reign of God dependent upon who holds elected office? The view that our lives as disciples of Jesus Christ is overly connected to politics creates deep divisions. Join us this weekend as we explore how to find unity in our faith despite the rhetoric of political campaigns and elections.

If you would like to include the name of a loved one, please send the name to Gina Hartman or call the church office by October 26.
Volunteers Needed

Merry Christmas! Well, not quite yet. But, the Volunteer Ministry Center will help us do just that - plan for the volunteers needed for our Christmas Eve/Christmas Day service. We are adding a 2pm service on Christmas Eve, so we will have a total of five  Christmas Eve and one  Christmas Day. 

Service Times:
Christmas Eve - 10am, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 11pm
Christmas Day - 10am
 
If you plan to be in town for Christmas this year, please consider serving as a worship volunteer for one of these worship times. We will need Ushers, Greeters, Communion Servers, Golf Cart Drivers and Parking Lot Attendants. In all, we will need close to thirty volunteers for each worship service. 
 
Come to the Volunteer Ministry Center following worship next weekend to sign up for the volunteer position and service time of your choice. If you have any questions, please contact  Kim Kuhlman.
Election Day is Quickly Approaching!
 
We will be an official polling station again on  November 8. As in the past, we would like to extend Christ's love and hospitality to those coming into the church to place their vote.
