Tamworth 250th Anniversary Service at Ordination Rock
Friday, October 14 at 5:00 pm
The Tamworth 250th Celebration Committee invites all to attend our event to commemorate the granting of the charter to Tamworth on Friday October 14, 2016 at 5 pm at Ordination Rock.
The celebration will be conducted by town officials and representatives from local churches – including Caroline.
Immediately following there will be a birthday cake reception at the Tamworth Town House with music by Vincent Amara, and a special photo display by photographer Bruce Bedford.
Ordination Rock is located on Cleveland Hill Road just about a mile past the center of town. The Tamworth Town House is located opposite the Tamworth Congregational Church.

Yours faithfully, 
Caroline

This election season has been among the most contentious in recent memory. But whatever our politics, as Christians we always have something we can do. We can pray. For the 30 days leading up to the election, Forward Movement is calling Episcopalians and all others to join us in a time of prayer. (Read Scott Gunn’s full invitation to prayer here.)

STEWARDSHIP
“We are the sheep of his pasture.” By now you should have received your stewardship packet (if you haven’t, please contact the office). After prayerful consideration please return your pledge form and “sheep” either to the collection plate on Sunday or in the return envelope provided. Our ingathering and celebration will be on All Saints’ Sunday, November 6th. Thank you for being a part of this flock! -The Stewardship Committee



 FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Another favorite blessing:
Life is short,
and we do not have much time to gladden the hearts
of those who journey the way with us.
So be swift to love, and make haste to be kind.
And may the blessing of God Almighty, Creator,
Sustainer and Sanctifier,
be with us all evermore.
