Reminder: We have resumed in-person worship and continue to live-stream the service on our website and YouTube channel.
Trunk or Treat- 10/30
We have almost 20 trunks participating in our Trunk or Treat on Sunday and are expecting a ton of visitors to the event. (Super exciting!) We would love some volunteers to help set up, run games and be welcoming to the participants. Reach out to Bonnie Deroski, Suzanne Stonaker or Kathy Kelley if you can help out. And note: please do NOT park your car directly behind the church when you arrive on Sunday, as those spaces will be reserved for people who will be decorating trunks. 
Gift Basket Auction-10/30 after Worship
The UMW/UWF will be having its annual fall fund-raiser Gift Basket Auction in upcoming weeks, with basket display and bidding. If you would like to donate a gift basket, please contact Gerri Poranski at (908) 247-1259. Susanna Circle, please note: we will be meeting on 10/19 to assemble our basket as discussed at our last meeting.
All Saints Sunday Observed-10/30
We will be observing All Saints Sunday on October 30th this year as Pastor Cam will be away on November 6th. During prayer time, all will have the opportunity to light a candle in honor of loved ones that have gone on into life eternal. We hope you will join us in this meaningful prayer practice.
Pledge Card Submission at Worship- 10/30
It will be a busy Sunday on October 30th! During our offering time, all who chose to submit a pledge card this year are invited to place their pledge card in the offering plate. If you are not able to attend on the 30th or are not yet finished discerning about a potential pledge, cards can be turned into the main office via mail or drop off, or placed in the collection plates in the weeks after as well. Thank you so much for your generosity and for being faithful stewards of this ministry of all the saints!
All-Sing Sunday- 10/30 at 10:00 am Worship
Check Out Our New Family-Friendly Space in the Lounge!
We love babies and we want young families to feel welcomed and comfortable! In addition to the soft play space at the back of the sanctuary, we have created a family friendly space in the Lounge (across from the bathrooms) for parents with young children who need a little more wiggle room, cry space or lactation spot. There are some toys in the bench, and the service will be streamed on the big screen. Please take advantage of this room with your baby/toddler as needed.
Pastor Cam Away- 11/6
Pastor Cam will be using some vacation time to include Sunday November 6th. Pastor David Henritzy will lead us on that Sunday and will be available in the event of a pastoral emergency from 11/5-11/11.
Tech Team Training Session- 11/13!
All are welcome to attend. Contact Evan Courtney to learn more.

Fellowship Time
Coffee Hour-
Volunteer One Sunday
We are looking for volunteers to help set up, serve and clean up during Fellowship Time Coffee Hour.
Use the link below to sign up to help or contact Amanda in the church office for more information.
Adult Education-
Adult Education will resume for the Fall on Wednesday at 7:00 pm on Zoom (see the church calendar on our website for the link) and Sunday at 8:45 am in person (meeting in the Lounge). We will begin with a video series by Marcus Borg on his book The Heart of Christianity.  You are welcome to read his book, but the video series is a set of lectures he gave on the topic that does not require reading the book to follow his thinking. This is a great place to join us if you have not participated before, or if you are a returning “regular” or anything in between. We look forward to seeing you!
Pastoral Care
If someone is hospitalized or in need of pastoral care,
please contact Rev. Cameron Overbey at pastorcam@umcredbank.org or call (732) 747-0446.
