At the October 13th Council meeting, several important topics were discussed that I’d like to highlight this month:

Prayer Shawl Ministry

This ministry is a beautiful way to serve others by knitting blankets, lap blankets, and shawls for those in need of comfort—especially during the Christmas season. The Prayer Shawl Ministry is currently in urgent need of support to continue its mission. If you’re able to help in any way, please reach out to Patti Cotley.

Kitchen Use Reminder

Our kitchen is used by many groups beyond our congregation. Per Health Department regulations, no open containers of food may be left in the refrigerator—except for opened half-and-half and milk. After coffee hour or any event, please remember to either take home or dispose of all food to ensure no open items remain.

Stewardship Campaign

Our annual Stewardship Campaign—the time when we invite pledges of support—will begin soon. We are looking for 2 to 3 volunteers to serve on the Stewardship Committee. If you’re interested in helping with this important effort, please contact me directly.

Welcoming Visitors

We’ve been blessed with many new visitors in recent weeks. I encourage everyone to continue offering a warm welcome during services and coffee hour. Did you know we have “I Wish” pamphlets available at the church’s front entrance? If you’re speaking with a visitor—or someone who’s attended a few times—consider inviting them to fill out a pamphlet and return it to Rev. Oxman or any Deacon. It’s a helpful way for us to learn more about our guests and how we can better serve them.
