Dear Church,
Remember your baptism, and be thankful!
On Sunday we remembered our baptism and received waterproof tags to hang in the shower. Have you put yours in your shower yet?
These tags invite us to remember our baptism, to remember that we were baptized, to remember that God knows us and claims us and calls us by name every time we bathe.
I hope you take a moment today to remember your baptism, especially as the rain pours down from the clouds, making all things new.
We have more tags in the church office. Please pick up some for your home, or for a friend or neighbor.
This Sunday we'll celebrate Holy Communion and focus on the later verses in John chapter 1. I look forward to seeing you all there!
Peace and grace,
Rev. Nancy Martin
Pastor, Fairview United Methodist Church

Room at the Inn 2022-23 Update
A Room at the Inn update from our Room at the Inn Team Leader, Linda Pressley:
For the first time in recent history Room at the Inn (overnight winter shelter) will not be hosted by churches. The shelter will be at the VFW hall on Ashley St starting Sunday November 27.
This is a positive in many ways. We will not have to move all the computers, cots, bedding, food and medical supplies every few weeks.
The city is going to help with the addition of a bus route that will be able to deliver our guests Monday through Friday from Wilkes Boulevard church (where Loaves and Fishes provides meals) to RATI. This eliminates some but not all of the need for bus drivers. Gary Moreau will have more information about how to sign up/get training for the bus routes.
The negative is that typically each church provided many of the meals, snacks, shower facilities while it was housed at their specific sites. Since this will no longer be the case there will be a significant need for all those same spots to be filled by volunteers, small groups, adult Sunday school classes (there are age requirements to be on the premises), etc., to provide for meals, snacks, morning and evening volunteer spots, bus drivers, etc.
Below are the links to both meal and volunteer sign ups. Please consider how you can help! We already have experienced colder than usual temperatures this fall!
Thank you in advance!

Covid-19 Update
We are closely monitoring the ever-changing situation with the Covid-19 Pandemic. Keeping you safe is our number one priority. We have established special protocols for in-person worship and continue to offer worship via Zoom.
We thank you for your flexibility and patience as we navigate these unchartered waters. Every Friday we will send an email about the coming weekend's worship plan.
The CDC currently rates counties in the United States with a Covid-19 Community Level—green for low, yellow for medium, and red for high. The ratings come with recommended prevention steps.
In accordance with those prevention steps, mask wearing at Fairview will be left to the discretion of individuals when Boone County is at level green or yellow. When Boone County is rated at level red, we ask that during worship services and church sponsored indoor large group gatherings masks be worn by all, regardless of vaccination status.
