Can you believe that the Chicken Pie Supper is upon us? Wow, where did September go? This will be a very busy week with all the cooking and cleaning going on here. But the office is open this week Monday, Wednesday, and Friday so that you can get your Chicken Pie tickets ahead of the rush. Remember, only 300 tickets will be sold!
We’d like to give those that have worked so hard to prepare for this event a big round of applause and remember, we need all the help we can get to make this a success! Please sign up to help on Saturday!

They are always in need of toiletry supplies; other core items needed are cereal, peanut butter, crackers, soup, pasta, canned fruit, jelly, oatmeal, rice, beans, sugar, and flour. Items may be donated here or directly to the pantry at United Methodist Church.  You do make a difference!

The Deacons are looking for donations of children’s birthday cards.  Birthday cards are sent to the Sunday School children as part of our faith family.

Due to the large number of children in grades 4-8, we are thinking about splitting them into 2 groups.  This will mean another Sunday School teacher will be needed.  If you are willing to teach our youth, please contact Sunday School Coordinator, Kris Alwin, at 604-3923.  Also, we will need more Kid’s Quest Bibles.  If you’d like to donate toward the purchase of children’s bibles, please contact the church office or mark your donation and place it in the offering plate.

Thank you.

A Horizons bible study, led by Rev. Diane Fite, will begin on October 27 at 10am in the church library.  All women are invited to attend.  The first meeting will set the time and day for future studies.

A grief support meeting will be held Wednesday, November 4 from 1:00pm-2:30pm at FPC.  Jenny Bakeman from Unity will be here as well as Pastor Craig.  If you have suffered the loss of a loved one, find support with others also going through loss.  All are welcome to attend.

The Deacons will also collect books for their book sale starting October 18.  The sale will start on October 25 so start collecting unwanted books in a box now!

World Communion Day, in which we celebrate the Lord’s Supper with Christians around the world, will be celebrated on October 4^th.  Anyone wishing to bake breads for this event is asked to call a Deacon.

It’s time, once again, for a new church directory!  A new directory will be started this fall, with dates for photography scheduled for Sunday, Oct.18, Wednesday, Oct. 21, Saturday Oct. 24, and Sunday, Oct. 25.  If you’d like a family portrait, this is the perfect time to do it!  Sign-up sheets will be out soon.  We will be updating our files as well, so please let us know if there is an address, phone number, or email change when filling out the photography forms.  You may also stop in at the church office or call us at 834-3922.

Chicken Pie tickets are here and only 300 will be sold so get them NOW!  Tickets will be sold in the church office during office hours and immediate payment is required.  Also, don’t forget to sign up to help, as there is much to do and the more hands we have, the lighter the load.  Youth are encouraged to sign up to help as well!
