WORSHIP WITH US – SUNDAYS AT 10AM

The Gardner of Time
 
An old gardener tended a forgotten plot beside A quiet river. He planted seeds each season, some for flowers, some for trees, yet many never sprouted. A curious boy asked why he persisted. The gardener smiled, “even unblossomed seeds teach patience, resilience, and hope.” Years later, the boy returned as a young man, realizing life itself mirrored the garden– the unseen growth, the patience in setbacks, and the joy of tending what matters most.
 
Be a gardener, take time this week to enjoy what’s important in your life, and enjoy it!
 
Prayer is answered,

CONGREGATIONAL CARE COMMITTEE

The Congregational Care Committee wants you to know they are there to help you if you ever need transportation, meals or a visitor! Please contact Kim Jackson if you or someone you know needs help or if you would like to be added to the list of volunteers.
 

Volunteers Needed for Congregational Care Team

Dear Church Family,
 
One of the most powerful ways we reflect the love of Christ is by caring for one another in times of need. Whether someone is recovering from surgery, facing a difficult season, or navigating a time of grief, small
acts of kindness—like a hot meal, a ride to an appointment, or a friendly visit—can make a world of difference.
 

We are currently building a list of volunteers who are willing to step in when needs arise. You don’t need to commit to every request—just let us know how you feel called to help:

Meal Ministry – Provide or deliver a home-cooked or store-bought meal to someone in need.

Transportation Help – Offer rides to church, appointments, or errands for those unable to drive.

Visitation Ministry – Visit homebound members or those in the hospital or care facilities to provide companionship and encouragement.

 
If you’re willing to be on our list of helpers in any of these areas, please send Kim Jackson an email  or add
your name/email to the sign-up sheet in Fellowship Hall.
 
You’ll be contacted as needs arise, with the opportunity to accept or decline depending on your schedule.
 
Let’s continue being the hands and feet of Jesus—loving one another well in both big and small ways.
 
In Christ’s love,
Your Congregational Care Team

TOWN HALL MEETING

Independent or Global?

Greetings Congregation,
 
Our church will be hosting a Town Hall Meeting on November 16th 4pm in the sanctuary. Unlike our previous meeting, this will be an open mike event giving a chance for both sides of the question to express their opinions. Mike Evans will be present representing Global. We hope this will also give members who missed the last meeting an opportunity to learn about both forms of organization. Please attend if you can.
 
Peace,
Jim Hicks
Council Chair
 

THANKSGIVING DINNER ANYONE?

 
Nancy Manfready and John Yerdon would like to know how many of you would be interested in gathering together for a complete Thanksgiving dinner here at the church.
 
There will be a signup sheet in the fellowship hall, to see if there is an interest, and of course, we’ll need to know very soon a count of how many to prepare for.
 
Let’s make this a joyous afternoon for those of us not planning to leave town and don’t have family close by.
 
We’ll eat at 1:00 and enjoy each other’s fellowship.
