Fall Stewardship Campaign: “One Heart and Soul” Dr. Russell Sullivan, Pastor

In the fourth chapter of the book of Acts we read that the early church was “of one heart and soul,” and this unity in mission was so overwhelming and life changing that they were led to share all that they had to care for one another. I am hoping and praying for that kind of unity as we begin to reflect on our individual financial giving for 2013. Your Session has dreamed big for 2013 and believes that God is leading us to accomplish great things for God’s mission and ministry at Pine Street. You will be hearing from me in midOctober in a letter with more details about the 2013 Budget and mission goals for our church next year. On Sunday, November 4, the Stewardship Committee will host a Campaign Breakfast in the Fellowship Hall at 9:40 a.m. A freewill offering will be received. At this continental breakfast these goals

will be presented to you. (Signups for the breakfast will begin on October 14 at the Welcome Center in the Gathering Place and on-line.) You will also be given a pledge packet with a copy of the 2013 narrative budget, a pledge card, and a return envelope. During that two week period, we are asking everyone to pray and to discern what you think God is leading you to commit financially to the ministry of Pine Street. We ask that you bring your completed pledge card to worship on Sunday, November 18, to be consecrated in the service. (The return envelope is given to you in case you will not be in worship that Sunday.) “One heart and soul” – Let’s strive for a unity that builds God’s kingdom at Pine Street for the sake of our community and all whom we serve.

Evensong for All Soul’s Day The Chamber Singers and Choir team up for a beautiful memorial service on All Soul’s Day, November 2, Friday evening at 7:30 p.m. The Chamber Singers begin the evening with a service of Choral Evensong. This beautiful service includes prayers and scriptures for the day as well as the traditional evening canticles: the Magnificat (Song of Mary) and the Nunc Dimittis (Song of Simeon) as set by English composer, Francis Jackson. The anthem for the evening is taken from “Dies Gratiae,” a set of meditations on grace by California composer, Craig Phillips, organist of All Saints’ See EVENSONG on page 3
