November begins with All Saints Day and ends near Advent, when we anticipate Christ’s coming again. So the readings for Sunday tell of the final resurrection and the end time. In the turmoil of hope, fear, and disbelief that these predictions provoke in us, The reading from Hebrews sounds a note of confident trust. Christ makes a way for us where there is no way, and we walk it confidently, our hearts and bodies washed in baptismal water, trusting the one who has promised. The more we see the last day approaching, the more important it is to meet together to provoke one another to love.

The Parish Life Team is in need of volunteers to help set up and tear down from events and ministries from time to time throughout the year.
Can you help every once in a while? It's simple things like setting up and taking down tables, placing chairs, helping in the kitchen, filling water pitchers and making lemonade. It's putting on tablecloths and washing off tables. Many hands make light work and your help would go a long way!
NO MEETINGS! :-)
If you sign up below, all you're doing is saying that we can contact you with opportunities to pitch in. THANKS IN ADVANCE!
