On Saturday, October 20, Jim and Barbara Leach will host us at their home in Laurel Valley in Townsend. We’ll access the Ace Gap Trail from there and then get treated to a wonderful lunch with spectacular views from their deck. We will leave from the church at 9:30 a.m. Please make a reservation through the pew pad or church office so that we can know how much food to prepare and to let you know of any schedule adjustments.
Dealing with Dementia
Transitioning into the fall season can be an especially difficult time for patients suffering from Alzheimer's Disease or related dementias...it can be tougher for their caregivers. If you or someone you know is providing care to a person affected by dementia, please join us on Sunday, October 21st from 2pm-6pm at Broadway United Methodist Church for Dealing with Dementia. Dealing with Dementia is an all inclusive guide for dementia caregivers. The class addresses many aspects of care, how to hand problem behaviors, self-care for caregivers, and national and local resources to support family caregivers. The cost of attendance is free and each attendee will receive a free 360 page guidebook for Dealing with Dementia.
The class is instructed by Becky Martin, Speech Pathology Services of East Tennessee, and Aundrea Scholem, Foothills Adult Care Enrichment Services and Knox Aging Advocate.
Pre-registration is required. To sign up, contact the church office.
STILL NEED VOLUNTEERS AND CANDY FOR SPOOKTACULAR!!
Every year we have thousands of people walking past our church for the downtown Spooktacular Extravaganza. As part of our outreach to the community, we participate by providing clean bathrooms, free water and candy for the trick-or-treaters that parade down our street in droves. We are already collecting candy for this event. If you would like to help provide candy for this event you can leave it in the box located in the church office. This year’s Friday night Spooktacular Extravaganza will be Oct 26. If you would like to help or learn more about the event, please contact Jennifer McIntyre or Lisa Hendrickson.
Hope and Help for Puerto Rico 2019 Mission Trip.
We hope to finalize our Volunteers in Mission trip to Puerto Rico to help with rebuilding after the devastating hurricane of September 2017.  Please consider joining our team February 23 – March 2, 2019 (Saturday-Saturday). The work will be hard, but we will give the people of Puerto Rico the gift of extra hands to rebuild, and the hope and reassurance of not having to face difficult situations alone. We will be rebuilding homes and sanctuaries, though we will not know the specific job until two weeks before we arrive. Construction skills are helpful, but not necessary. The minimum age is 18. Lodging will be rustic; electricity is available but not reliable. As much as possible we hope to cover costs through congregational donations. The Outreach Committee has designated generous funds toward this mission trip. Housing and meals are approximately $400 per person, airfare $600 per person. Ground expenses for rental vans, gas, and team insurance, will be around $1600 total. Watch for details about the next planning meeting projected for November. We will need commitments by December 1 so we can purchase plane tickets. Please contact Mary Margaret Eckhardt at marymeckhardt613@gmail.com for more information or to sign up!
