Nov. 2 -
All Saints Sunday and Communion
Would love to
see you at church this Sunday! Last Sunday we had
110 present and that felt uplifting - you’re
presence makes a great deal of difference. Let's
try to increase our worship attendance. You can
help by being present. We had three guests who
found our congregation quite warm and two may attend
Journey of Faith tonight. They are younger adults
who live in the city and they’re looking for a
community of faith that is warm, lively and
growing. If we are genuinely curious
about new people, we will grow spiritually and
numerically. Let your curiosity show by way of your
words of welcome to newcomers and your questions
like “please tell me a little
more about you…”
WELCOME Bob
Fellows!
The Council accepted the
recommendation from the Search Committee to hire Bob

UNITED
THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY HOSTS PILGRIMAGE TO RUSSIA
“Seeking the Face of Christ in Russia: An Experiential Pilgrimage”
January 12-23, 2009
JANUARY TRIP TO
NEW YORK CITY
for Martin Luther King, Jr weekend,
Jan. 15-19. Consider this an opportunity to explore the
diversity of one of the greatest cities on earth,
with each other and other UCC members or
friends,
culminating in worship at
Riverside Church
(UCC and American Baptist), on MLK Sunday. The trip is
not inexpensive although it has
excellent value for all that is
included. If you have no interest in the trip
but want to donate toward scholarship for someone who does have interest but can’t
make the funds, please
contact Norma Rae this is a great gift.
