1 TIME CHANGE SUNDAY Time change Sunday. Our response is usually a groan of some sort. Fall back, right? I turn my clock back one hour, right? This adjustment to our clocks means it will not be so dark when children are getting to school in the mornings but we will start wanting to go to bed at 7:00 as the sky tells us it is time to hunker down! Time change Sunday. It is All Saints Day at our church and we will read the names of church members who have died since November 1, For some who come this Sunday, time will seem meaningless. It doesn t seem like a year.. time stopped when she died. The days are so long.. how long will I feel this way? We are reminded that grief is never finished; it just changes over time. All Saints Day focuses on celebrating the great cloud of witnesses who have gone before us, but also those who sit around us on Sunday morning. It is a joyful and somber time, all at once. Time change Sunday. It is time to think about our understanding of stewardship. You will receive a pledge card soon in the mail; it helps us plan for ministry. We emphasize each year that we are not giving to a budget; we give out of thanksgiving for all God has given us. We believe in the tithe; that is, that ten per cent of my income is designated first as God s. Brad and I have exercised tithing all through our marriage. When income was small and when income fluctuated and when income was uncertain. Something about that ten per cent off the top was stabilizing and reassuring as we worked through our finances. We give to the church first as acknowledgement that God gave to us first! It changes how we think about the money we have and the time we have and the family we have and the love we have. Time change Sunday. We ve muttered it and shouted it and thought it.. Times have really changed! We say this with heartbreak as we read of more violence. Threats of physical violence to government leaders, two Kentuckians killed because they were Black, eleven Philadelphians killed because they were Jewish. Times have really changed. We say it with amazement at how we can connect with family members overseas and how easy it is to figure a tip on our phone. Times have really changed. We say it with uncertainty as the way it has always been is challenged and we re not sure how we will fit in. Time change Sunday. As I walked into the church early Sunday morning, I heard Frances Lovell playing through the hymns on the organ for the 10:30 service. A sense of peace and thanksgiving and certainty came over me. It is well with my soul, I thought. These are difficult times, troubling times, hopeful times, and joyous times. I am thankful for the gift of Sunday morning I am thankful for that time of worship a time that is set aside no matter what else is going on, good or bad. There will always be changes in our lives and in our world some welcome and some not. But the constant for me, the sure-footing that I always talk about, is being here on Sunday mornings. Each Sunday, I remember that God has given me this time and that God is in all time. See you Sunday, Catherine Please remember to turn your clocks back one hour at 2:00 am this Sunday, November 4th
2 Fall Festival at 1st After a cold and rainy start to the weekend, the sun came out and the temperatures climbed to around 70, making it a great day for a fall festival.

5 The Fall Festival at 1st had a huge turnout judging by the 700 hot dogs given away and people asking for more! At least three of the families present were former guests of Family Promise. One of those families frequently attends programs at 1st UMC and helps host current Family Promise guests as their way of giving back. Spooktacular Family Night on October 13 at the Parkview Drive-In was another well attended event, and it benefited Family Promise. What a blessing to have taken in more than $17,000.
