ANNOUNCEMENTS

Food donations during October will go to the Keystone Place.

Annual reports for the 2021-22 church year are due.

The WMS project for October is twin flat sheets for MCC.  For the meeting this Thursday, Louellen Westover is in charge of the kitchen and Gerri Schwartz will have devotions.

At Kid's Club, we have the opportunity to create a fun place for kids to come together. If you haven't checked it out in the basement, you should! We were able to create a mountain climbing scene for kids with many materials and supplies we already had! If you like decorating and have any interest in helping out in this way, talk to either Rachel King or Abby Fellers.

October is Pastor Appreciation month.  We will be celebrating Matt & his family with a pot luck meal after the morning service on Oct. 30.  Please bring a dish or two to share.

Richard Hochstetler will be sharing his spiritual journey/life story on the evening of Nov. 20 at 6:00 PM.  Come hear his story and bring finger foods for a time of fellowship afterwards.

Offices Booklets for 2022-23 are on the console by the library.  Help yourself.
