Update from your Finance Committee Let me thank you for your faithful and ongoing support of this church and its mission. Your support this year has been very generous and we have remained in good financial condition throughout the year. We have made great progress in building up the reserves as well as holding expenses in line. November and December give us an opportunity to complete this year with record breaking giving, establish solid reserves and put the church in a position to do amazing things next year for the Kingdom of God. Again, thank you. Peace and blessings, Gregg Hagelstein Finance Chair
What’s Ahead ALL SAINTS SUNDAY TODAY Sunday, November 6th, 8:40 a.m., 9 a.m., 11:10 a.m. This is a special time to remember and honor all the “saints” in our lives who have loved us and helped shape our hearts and lives in special ways. We will begin with a short worship service in the Memory Garden at 8:40 am. There we will lift up those who have been interred in our columbarium as well as those persons whose names have been placed “In Loving Memory” on the Memory Wall.

You can see those names listed in your Weekly Prayer insert in today’s bulletin.
