MEAICA Hunger Walk

Sisters and Brothers, Grace to you and peace. Thanks to all those who have participated in our annual Hunger Walk over the years! The pandemic has led our clergy association to recommend significant changes as to how we replenish our fund to help our neighbors in need. Here are the changes that we’ve made to this year’s event: Pledge sheets will still be distributed but only via email or social media, and we ask that walkers use either social media, email, or your phone to safely fill in your pledges. There will be no given date or time for a group walk. Each walker or family of walkers will be trusted to do the 5K at a time and place of their own choosing. We hope to have all of the walks done and the pledges received no later than November 20th. We ask that each house of worship partner with at least one local business who will contribute to the community fund. We are in the process of setting up an online giving app through which donors can directly contribute to the walk. As soon as we have that set up we will let you know. I am including other attachments on this email including pledge sheets and a poster you can share on social media. Feel free to make your own as well! Peace, Rev Chuck Coblentz President, MEAICA

"Centenary Fall Family Activity"

Dear Sunday School Families, I'd like to invite you to a little field trip right here in Metuchen to celebrate the Halloween/Harvest season together. On Sunday, October 25 at noon (following our in person service), we will meet at St. Luke's Episcopal Church to go pumpkin picking! Each child will receive a credit to be used to purchase a small pumpkin. Please bring cash, if you choose to purchase larger pumpkins. We will be wearing masks and practicing social distancing. Also, everyone is welcome to wear their Halloween costumes!  Please note that I will need a headcount of the number of children in advance, so I am asking everyone to RSVP by October 18. Please let me know if you have any questions. I hope you can join us! Place: St. Luke's Episcopal Church, 17 Oak Ave Metuchen, NJ 08840 (Corner of Oak Ave and Middlesex Ave) Time: 12:00 (following our in person service) RSVP: by 10/18 to Nicole Many blessings, Nicole Tierno, Sunday School Coordinator

"Celebration of Found Cans"

LET’S KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING! LET’S KEEP THE FOOD DONATION BINS FILLED! The green donation bin for non-perishable food items, which are donated to the Middlesex County Emergency Food Network, is out in front of Centenary UMC’s door every Wednesday (9 a.m. – 12 noon) and Sunday (9 a.m. – 10 a.m.). Let’s continue to keep filling the bins for the MCEFN! Just pull into Centenary’s driveway (at 200 Hillside Avenue in Metuchen), drop off an item or two (or more!) in the bin, and you’ve helped to make a difference! Thanks to all for your support!
