Thanksgiving Boxes, Monday November 11
Our youth, parents and anyone else are requested to help box up food for Thanksgiving Baskets at the Food Basket on Monday, November 11th from 10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. Please meet at 1 Wesley Drive in Clute.
Food Donations
Delivered 88 pounds of foodstuffs to the Food Basket this morning and stayed to help shoppers. We need plastic shopping bags and could definitely use more volunteers. We had 57 shoppers and only 3 shopper-helpers. Lisa said we typically have more shoppers going into the holiday season.

Many thanks to everyone for all you do to help feed our neighbors!
Songs and S'mores November 10
Join us for a fun evening of soup, sandwiches, S'mores, singing around the campfire and fun games. Sunday, November 10th from 5:00-7:00 p.m. Food and beverages provided. Contact Jane Power if you have questions.
EXTERIOR DOOR KEYS ARE CHANGING ON MONDAY 11/11
There has been a need to change door locks for quite a while due to the number of keys in circulation. Some were not returned when people have left the parish, some misplaced and we do not have an accurate accounting. As a result we are changing the exterior door keys and implementing a key check-out and distribution system.

Your current key will continue to open interior doors. However you will need to register for a key if you have a clear need for one, but it will need to be demonstrated. You can also access the church during office hours or check out a key for short-term need from the parish secretary. The exterior key will open:
  • the exterior doors to the narthex
  • the patio door that most use to go to the office
  • the back door to the guild sacristy
  • the music wing door
  • the opposite door across the breezeway from the music wing
  • the door to the Youth Hall
  • the Parish Hall
  • the kitchen back door

There will be an exterior master key for staff, Vestry and a few parish leaders. We are also requesting that when a need for a key no longer exists that it be returned to the parish secretary, so we have a better accounting and a more secure facility.

Search Committee Update
An 8-person search committee has been formed and is already diligently working on the process to find a choirmaster and organist. Members include Bill and Kathy Hutchison, Chris Hutchison, Cathy Richardson, Bonnie McDaniel, Rachel Wilbanks, Ryan Crim, Sherry White and Brendan Kimbrough. We will keep the choirs and congregation apprised of our progress with regular updates. In the interim, we will be using substitute organists with the Senior Choir. We are also working with Fr. Brendan to identify candidates to interview in the coming weeks. If you know of people who might fit the bill, please contact Bill or Kathy Hutchison or Cathy Richardson.
