6 Along the Way What can I say? Following the Children s Message this past Sunday, I can truly say that I am blessed. The month of October is traditionally observed as Pastor Appreciation month. Many of you have stopped by the office or sent cookies, dropped off gift cards, and even a couple books all added to many words of thanks and appreciation. For two weeks, the children worked diligently on making cards of thanks for me and presented them to me on Sunday morning during the 11:00 worship service. I can honestly say that there have been many ways that I have been told Thank You and We appreciate all you do. Sunday was a little different as I sat among the kids and heard all their comments, not to mention the giggles and whispers that were shared with me as I sat on the step with them. WOW! Thank you to Ms. Vivian and all those who helped her. And THANK YOU to the children! You are the BEST!!!! On Sunday, November 22, we will decorate the sanctuary and campus for the coming Christmas Season! We need help moving furnishings around in the sanctuary and narthex, bringing decorations down from storage, helping assemble and decorate the Christmas Tree. Pastor David is arranging for a light lunch following the 11:00 Service that day for all who can come (or stay after). The more help, the easier the load.

9 A Day to Remember Many churches celebrate All Saints Day with services of remembrance of saints. It is seldom that Protestants are gathered on November 1, so many churches observe All Saints Sunday each year on the Sunday following November 1. It is a day to remember the saints, "saints" by the New Testament meaning of "all Christian people of every time and place." It is a day to celebrate the communion of saints as we remember those who have died, both in our local congregations and throughout the Church universal. On Sunday, November 1, we will observe All Saints Day as we pause for a moment in reflection for all those who have left our midst to join that cloud of witnesses in the heavens. If you find that you are unable to be with us on Sunday, please take a few minutes this week and remember the families of those who have lost loved ones this past year.
