What's Happening at UMC Madison 10/11/22

REMINDER


Sunday, October 16th is 19th Sunday after Pentecost


10:00am - Family Worship Service

11:00 - Fellowship Hour


During the fall of 2020 a new streaming show aired on AppleTV+. The show was a breath of fresh air at a time when uncertainty filled the airwaves and the Wi-Fi routers of our homes. “Ted Lasso” asked the viewer to believe in the unbelievable, to find hope in cynical times, and above all, to be curious. During the month of October, we’ll take a look at some of the themes in the show, Ted Lasso, which centers around a hopeless football (soccer) team in England and their optimistic new Coach, Ted Lasso. 


If you haven’t seen the show yet, or want to rewatch some episodes, join us Tuesday mornings at 10:30am or Wednesday evenings at 7pm!

Church Council tonight at 7:30


October's church council meeting will be held this Tuesday, October 11th at 7:30 pm.  Our goal is to have the meeting last just fifty minutes. In order to make the meetings more efficient, Pastor Mark, Jeanne and I are requesting that the committee heads send us a review of your key activities in just four bullet points. The council will have an opportunity to ask clarifying questions about the bullet points during the meeting.
