FROM THE RECTOR
November is going to be a busy month, so be sure
to put these events on your calendar!
Saturday, November 2 is the day to
turn back our clocks.
Sunday, November 3 is both All Saints’
Sunday and our Stewardship Ingathering Day.
Please give Deb a list of the names of those who
have died that you would like to have read at the beginning of the service.
Forms will be available on Sunday, or see the info elsewhere in today’s Memo
and email your names to Deb by Monday, October 28.
Please return your pledge cards by November 3 if
you haven’t already, and don’t forget to include the leaf that came with your
packet. As of Tuesday we had received 21 pledges, and Barbara has placed the
leaves on our grave vine. It gets prettier every time she adds more leaves!
We will have one service at 9:00 followed by a
brunch. Our stewardship committee will provide main egg dishes (and Sammie’s
world famous cheese grits!).
Sunday, November 10 is our fall clean
up day. As always, there will be both inside and outside
tasks, and work to be done after both services. Please bring your rakes, tarps
and clippers for outside work, which will include raking leaves and putting our
gardens to bed for the winter.
Friday, November 22 is the Harvest
Dinner and Pie Auction! What will you bake this year?
Sunday, November 24 Bishop Rob
Hirschfeld will be with us for his annual visitation and
confirmation. We will have one service at 9:00 am and Chris Mills and Preston
Mills will be confirmed. After the service, when everyone has gotten
refreshments, Bishop Rob will meet with us to let us know what’s new in the
Diocese and answer questions.
I hope you will be able to join us for all of
this!

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Song for Autumn
In
the deep fall
don’t
you imagine the leaves dream now
how comfortable it will be to touch
how comfortable it will be to touch
the
earth instead of the
nothingness of the air and the endless
freshets of wind? And don’t you think
the trees, especially those with
mossy, warm hollows, are beginning to look for
nothingness of the air and the endless
freshets of wind? And don’t you think
the trees, especially those with
mossy, warm hollows, are beginning to look for
the
birds that will come—six, a dozen—to sleep
inside their bodies? And don’t you hear
the goldenrod whispering goodbye,
the everlasting being crowned with the first
tuffets of snow? The pond
vanishes and the white field over which
the fox runs so quickly brings out
its long blue shadows. The wind wags
its many tails. And in the evening especially,
the piled firewood shifts a little
longing to be on its way.
