We have another opportunity to help Aeon, the housing nonprofit who recently bought the Season's Park Apartment buildings to the south of church. They continue to catch up on a LOT of deferred maintenance that previous owners ignored. They'd like our help painting the interior common areas in one of their buildings on Sunday, October 28th from noon-3pm. We'll eat lunch together after the 11:00 service is done and then head over to paint! If you'd like to join us, please sign up with Ben Whalen ( [email protected] or 612-500-9523). Please also contact Ben if you want to support this cause financially but missed the special offering opportunity. Thank you!

We've been working hard at House of Prayer to be active and involved in our community. One important role we all play in that community work is to vote for the future leaders of our city, county, state, and country on November 6th. So please take time to research who will be on your ballot (both sides!) and answer any questions you have about how to vote. Then go and vote for all the leaders you think will carry out the values and vision you have for the future of our community! Here are some links that may help you:
* How do I register to vote?
* Who will be on my ballot?
* When and where can I vote on election day?
* How can I vote early?
