Non-perishable good drive
In collaboration with Salem and Grace, we will be collecting non- perishables to be donated to local food pantries. Operation Hope pantry is well stocked at this time.
A collection basket will be in the Narthex beginning Sunday for your donations. We will be collecting thru Sunday, November 20 when the items will be picked up and brought to the local food pantries.
The items needed most include: canned corn, canned fruits, jellies, peanut butter, instant potatoes, cake, brownie or muffin mixes, Rice-a-Roni, laundry detergent and dish soap. Bulk sized items are not the best for the pantry.
Should you have any questions, please let Lisa Makar or Jeff Cronin know. Thank you for your generosity.

With the new church year starting in Advent, we will change our service music to Setting 11 from All Creation Sings. This is a bilingual setting in Spanish and English, with music composed in Latin American styles. We will sing the English versions. You can hear a preview, and you are invited to practice, at the ACS introductory web page: ACS introductory
|
|
Music borrowed from our brethren in Latin American countries has increasingly found a home in our recent hymnals. Many of the songs we already enjoy singing come to us by way of the late translator/musician/scholar/missionary Gerhart Cartford, whose obituary is attached here. Singing these songs from far away helps remind us that "the earth is full of your glory" (ACS page 37).

Sunday School is back! Sunday School runs Sunday mornings from 9-10 before the church service. Sunday School is open to anyone in Kindergarten - 6th grade. If anyone is interested or has questions, please reach out to Brian Compare at brian.compare@gmail.com.
***************************************************************************
We are looking for anyone ready for 1st Communion. Typically this would be a call for any 3rd Graders, but we know there are children who didn't have an opportunity to take classes throughout the pandemic. So anyone 3rd grade or beyond who is interested is invited. Please let Brian Compare (brian.compare@gmail.com) know if you are interested.
***************************************************************************
We want to send a call out for Confirmation candidates. This would be 7th Graders and older who have not gone through the confirmation process. We are looking to kick off classes this fall, so if this is something that a teen you know may be eligible for, please drop Brian Compare a line (brian.compare@gmail.com).
