Don’t miss the picture Gallery from All Saints’ Day at the end of the MEMO

Services for this coming Sunday, the Twenty-fourth Sunday after Pentecost, will be at 8 and 10 am. We hope you will join us for worship and fellowship.
The readings for this Sunday are Ruth 3:1-5, 4:13-17, Psalm 127, Hebrews 9:24-28, Mark 12:38-44.
“Sold… to the highest bidder!” Remember the fun? Our Harvest Supper and Pie Auction is just two weeks away –   on Friday, November 20th: 6 o’clock for the meal, 7 o’clock for the pie auction.  Tickets (adults $10, children $4) will be available at the door. We hope you will plan to come and invite your friends! We are hoping that many of you will provide your delicious baked pies (pies that can be frozen for Thanksgiving feasts are especially welcome) to be auctioned following the meal, beginning shortly after 7 o’clock.
We also need help delivering flyers. Please pick them up in the Parish Hall.
Note: Pies should be delivered on the day of the dinner/auction by 3 p.m.
Please contact Carol Tubman (651-8230) or Christine Mills (452-4049) with questions or offers of help.
Our summer deacon, Kevin Mort, is now settled back in his winter home in Saint Petersburg, Florida and sends his greetings to all of us. Should you want to be in contact with him directly his email is: redog8091@aol.com .
Good news as we close in on our Pledge Season goal!!! Our in-gathering and the offering of pledges was last Sunday, but it’s not too late. If you haven’t yet pledged, or if you’re feeling generous and would like to offer a bit more, do help us reach our goal of $140,000 to support our 2016 budget. As of today, we’re at $134,745.00 Abundant thanks to you who have pledged already!
Continued healing blessings to Peg Cade, Marilyn Cloran, and Elizabeth Wiesner! They are each recovering from surgery – Peg now at Mineral Springs, Marilyn at Golden View (in Meredith), and Elizabeth at home in South Tamworth. They greatly appreciate being visited.
Food for thought on gratitude…
The important thing is to let your heart be grateful. Respond to the invitation of the Eucharistic Great Thanksgiving: to let up your heart and let love and gratitude inform each moment of the day.        – Br. Eldridge Pendleton, SSJE (1940-2015)

See you in church!
