On All Saints Sunday we will remember the saints that
died this year as well as loved ones who have been
witnesses to us of God’s love and presence in our lives.
We celebrate the One who draws us all to him in life in
the communion of the saints. Come and join us as we
remember and give thanks!
Thanksgiving Dinner Nov 10th
Time and Talents
In addition to giving thanks for the saints
in our lives this month, we will also give thanks for the
many blessings we have received – all gifts from God!
We will have the opportunity to reflect on offering the
gifts of our time and talents for ministry in 2020.
We will gather after worship for the annual
Thanksgiving Dinner. CLCW will provide the meats and
drinks. Everyone else is asked to bring a side dish or
dessert to add to the feast.

GODSPEED AND FAREWELL
NOTE FROM PASTOR Dear friends,
November is a month of thanksgiving. We begin with giving thanks on All Saints Sunday for
the many saints in our lives that led us toward faith and loved us into the people we are today.
We will give thanks for the bounty of this good earth and the gift of friends and family at
Thanksgiving. We will also give thanks for our congregation and the ministries we share with
our partner congregations and organizations.
This month is a time of reflection and opportunity for expression of our gratitude through gifts
of time, talent, and treasure. There are many ways you can serve through Christ church
whether it’s singing in the choir, assisting with communion, reading lessons, or helping with
congregational dinner, being an advocate. There are many ways to serve here. You may just
want to continue to serve in the manner that you have been serving or try something new!
If you haven’t tithed or supported the mission of the church financially then I encourage you
to consider beginning a tithe as a spiritual discipline. If you give already, consider increasing
your giving to meet a tithe as you are able keeping in mind that we are giving to God’s
mission only a tiny fraction of what God has already given to us…
I invite you this month to prayerfully consider ways you would like to serve and give and join
us in this ministry we share in Christ’s name. We will consecrate these gifts of time, talent
and treasure on December 1st!
Your sister in Christ,
Pastor+
On Reformation Sunday we said Godspeed and Farewell to Wilma Prince who has moved to Florida. We
will miss her greatly! Wilma and Bob promised to come and visit from time to time and we are holding
them to it! God’s blessings, Wilma and Bob!
