1 Dear Friends in Christ, Leaves are mostly off the trees and the weather has turned cool. Fall is ending as we look ahead to winter. And so it is with the end of the church year. We draw the liturgical year to a close on November 26 with Christ the King Sunday as we look forward to beginning a new year with Advent s promises of a wonderful celebration around the birth of the Christ child. As we continue to think about next year and our giving, we welcome Pastor Larry Westfield from the ELCA foundation as he returns to Christ the Servant one last time to bring us the message on November 5 th, All Saints Sunday. At our coffee hour Pastor Larry will talk about planned and estate giving and how you can leave a legacy to the church. We will of course honor those who have gone home to be with the Lord in the last year by lighting a candle for them during worship. Thursday, November 9 th brings a special evening service at 6:30 pm as we gather to bless the hunt and the hunters. Terry Tarras and the men s group will be leading the service that will be followed by fellowship and some hunter s treats. The month and our liturgical year end as we celebrate Christ the King Sunday. We gather on this day as we do every Sunday to celebrate the reign of Christ and his victory over death. Christ s death and resurrection give us the promise of abundant life, forgiveness and salvation. As we wait the consummation of all things yet to come, our merciful ruler sends us forth so that His reign can be known through our loving words and deeds. I so hope that you will join us for worship this month. It has been an exciting year here at Christ the Servant. Come join us as we give thanks to God for all He has done for us and through us. In the Joy of Jesus, Pastor Gwen

Happy Thanksgiving to all and see you at the Holiday Market, Liz C.

7 Thanksgiving Trivia In 1953, Swanson overestimated the number frozen turkeys that it would sell on Thanksgiving by 26 tons. The company decided to slice up the extra meat and repackage it--creating the first ever TV dinner Pilgrims did not wear buckled hats or dress only in black and white. Buckles did not come into fashion until later in the 17th century, and the pilgrims usually saved their formal black and white colors for Sunday. The average American will consume about 4,500 calories on Thanksgiving Day, or about 3,000 for the meal and an additional 1,500 for snacking The Butterball Turkey hotline answers over 100,000 questions every November and early December. The average long-distance Thanksgiving trip is 214 miles, compared with 275 miles over the Christmas and New Year s holiday. The turkeys typically depicted in Thanksgiving pictures are not the same as the domestic turkeys most people eat at Thanksgiving. Domestic tur keys usually weigh twice as much and are too large to fly. Now a Thanksgiving dinner staple, cranberries were actually used by Native Americans to treat arrow wounds and to dye clothes. Established in 1924, the Macy s Thanksgiving Day Parade ties for second as the oldest Thanksgiving parade. The Snoopy balloon has appeared in the parade more often than any other character. More than 44 million people watch the parade on TV each year and 3 million attend in person.
