ANNOUNCEMENTS

Food donations during October will go to the Keystone Place.

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

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.

Daylight Savings time ends (fall back) on Sunday, Nov. 6.

The next Blood Drive is Monday, Nov. 7.  Volunteers are needed to help with registration, to drive donors to and from the blood drive, and to help tear down.  A sign-up sheet is in the fellowship hall.

People of all ages are invited to help at the MCC Great Lakes Goshen Comforter Bash on Nov. 11 (9 am-5 pm) & Nov. 12 (9 am-3 pm) at the Pleasant View Church in Goshen.  Talk to Martha Franz if you need more information.

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.
