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.

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. Further information: George Schildge 848-218-1847
