STEWARDSHIP SECONDS
Twenty-third Sunday after Pentecost
“Good Stewardship is not conserving and holding, protecting and preserving. Good stewardship is growing, developing, advancing, and building the gifts with which God has blessed up.” (Kennon L. Callahan)
Remembering Book: There is a book, kept in Fellowship Hall, that
you can write a note in remembering someone from now or long ago. The donation
envelopes are in the pews in the sanctuary and the donation goes to the general fund. If you want to give it in at the office I will write in the book for you and get your donation processed.
Village Pump Café: Open Tuesday mornings from 09:00 to 10:30. Stop by for coffee, tea, sweets and of course conversation. The boutique is open and there are plenty of books to browse through.
Pop Cans: Received $36.40 from Joan Ferguson-Sones for the pop cans she turned in. Thanks to all who participate in this fund raiser.
Directory Photos: A final Photo shoot is planned for Sunday, November 8th following worship. This will be the last opportunity to have your picture included in this directory.
Coffee Time: A new schedule has been posted on the bulletin board. Please sign up for a Sunday to provide coffee, tea and snacks. You can grab a friend to help you!
Time For Prayer: Christ United Church Sanctuary will be open to all who wish to spend some time in prayer on Tuesday, November 24th at 11:00 – 12:30. Barb DeJeet will be in the Sanctuary.
