Hello friends,
A special Thank You to everyone who helped make our Trunk or Treat event so successful. Hundreds of children and families were blessed with fun candy, unique costumes and delicious hot dogs and snacks. Every single one felt welcomed, seen and appreciated. This is exactly what we are called to offer and you did it. Great job!!
All Saints Day is coming up the first Sunday in November where we will honor all of those in our Faith family who have transitioned in the last year. This will be a touching time of remembrance. Be sure to join us Sunday, November 2.
As you can readily see, the Holiday Season is in full swing. Christmas tree cakes and iced vanilla Oreos have replaced candy corn and candied apples on the shelves of grocery stores across our community. Wrapping paper and bows and Christmas items of all kinds may be found in stores and decorating our streets.
Christmas is just 8 weeks away and we have a number of very special, unique and meaningful services planned for the Advent and Christmas Season. Including a German language Christmas week service.
But first we have Veteran’s Day and Thanksgiving to experience. On Veteran’s Day Sunday, November 9, we will honor those who have served and those who continue to protect and defend our Nation here at home and around the world. On Thanksgiving Sunday, November 23, we will highlight Thankfulness.
I like this quote from Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, “The more you practice the art of thankfulness, the more you have to be thankful for.” That is so true, friends. As we are grateful, we activate within ourselves and around us the ability to both appreciate and attract appreciation in the situations and scenarios of life.
One last thing. The other day one of our Church members said to me, “You know recently Pastor Steve, each month when I read the Chimes, I feel like I have been in worship.” What a beautiful statement and deep compliment. I hope each of us feels the same.
Have a noteworthy November. I’ll look for you in Church and around the Community.
Pastor Steve
