The
Blessing of the Animals will be this Sunday, the 14th of October, the
Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost. Plan on bringing your pet(s) to church for either the 8 AM or
10 AM service. Please have dogs on a
leash and other creatures in a cage. We will reserve the transept as an “animal
free zone.” We hope you'll join us for worship and
fellowship. Join us for coffee hour following the service. (Dog snacks will be
provided, thanks to Val May.)
Readings for this
Sunday: Job 23:1-9, 16-17; Psalm 22:1-15;
Hebrews 4:12-16; Mark 10:17-31.

Plan ahead for Parish Fall Work Day! Next Sunday, October 21, will be our
Fall Work Day. There will be a task list posted. Strong, able-bodied workers:
Please bring your lawn rakes and work gloves. Among other chores, we need to
rake up our leaves.
A message from our Community Food Pantry: The need is up (and growing as the
temperature outside drops), but both cash and food donations are down. Let’s
reinstitute the practice bringing something for the Food Pantry Basket every
Sunday. If each of us did that every week, that would be about 50 items each
Sunday. It would make a HUGE difference to our neighbors who are in need.
Many thanks to the many hands who
helped in another successful year at Sandwich Fair.
Conversion is about our ongoing invitation from God to
change, to grow into maturity in this life, “to the measure of the full stature
of Christ,” who himself changed, his own heart of love broken wide for the
whole world.
See you in
church!
Blessings, Heidi+
