Stewardship Drive Reminder to get you Stewardship Pledge in before January 17, 2020 (earlier is even better)

Stewardship Season 2020 – We're Well on our Way! This past Sunday was our 2020 Stewardship Consecration Sunday but that doesn’t mean it’s too late to pledge.  Our pledging season continues through Jan 17, 2020.  Our pledged giving amount currently stands at $268,722 towards our goal of $300,000.  That means  we are 90% of the way there !!  A 2020 financial pledge is just one of many ways to make a difference in our church and our community. To everyone who has already pledged, we truly thank you!  If you haven’t pledged yet, it’s not too late.  Pledge cards can be found outside the sanctuary and outside of the church office!  Together our gifts make a difference!

Church Clean-up, Saturday, 2 November 9:00 a.m until Noon Last chance (this year) to join us for a church clean-up. We will remove all the remaining old carpet (except Room 114) and clear leaves in preparation for Winter. Please sign up on the Bulletin Board at back of church or just show up in work clothes. THANKS!

The Pronoun and Gender Discussion Panel Join us from 3-5 PM on Sunday, November 10th as we discuss gender identity and hear from a panel to better understand the diversity that is within our LGBTQ+ siblings. Understanding pronouns and gender can be a hard topic. Together we can learn more about how we can welcome all. Further information contact Case Akers, our Seminary Intern kakers@drew.edu

Hospitality Classes On Wednesday evening, Nov. 13 and Sunday afternoon, Nov. 17 we will be offering “Hospitality” classes to study techniques on how to greet warmly, remember names and deepen our understanding of the other person. This is a valuable skill set not only for our church setting but for our interactions in society as a whole. Classes will be led by Eric Hackler who has the experience, knowledge and charm to guide us well. Classes are appropriate for all and especially Greeters, Ushers, God Squad and people who enjoy meeting new folks. One will need to attend only one class. Exact times and locations will be announced.
