We will be collecting used coats on November 21st during church until 1:30 p.m. They may be left in the coat closet, off the narthex, until the 21st. Outreach volunteers will be in the parking lot, across from the front doors, until 1:30 on the 21st should you forget to bring your donation to Sunday services. All sizes of gently used coats and jackets are welcome. Thank you.
Bring your pledge cards and your appetites!
Directly after the 10:30 service where we will be pledging our gifts for next year, we will have a chili luncheon. On the menu – beef, chicken, and vegetarian chill.
If you would like to bring another chili, side dish, or dessert, please email Alison.
October will be dedicated to collecting children’s socks and underwear for FISH.
We will utilize the same rubber tub in the Narthex that was used for project Yellow Ribbon and the personal care products. Thank you for your generosity!
Saturday, October 16, 12-5 pm, Outdoors at St. Martin’s
This will be a day of fun for the whole community. There will be a magician, pumpkin decorating, crafters, music, food, children and adults (corn hole, bocce, can-jam, horseshoes) games, and face painting.
We are also looking for crafters and local bands who want to “show off their stuff.”
$10 per adult, kids under 16 are free! Tickets can be purchased at the door or in advance.
For questions contact Alison at randyali@aol.com.
