However, activities will be provided for all ages. Come eat and learn! 

 
The “Golden Girls of Faith” (Golden Men are welcome too!)  will be meeting once a month for lunch, fellowship and prayer at a local restaurant.  They will meet the first Wednesday of the month which will be November 1, 2023, this month. 
For more information or if you need a ride, please talk to Anna Friedrich.  All are welcome!

We currently receive donations of WAWA Food through the Food Donation Connection.  We may receive anything from sizzlies, to breakfast burritos, to lunch sandwiches, to muffins, to sweet treats, to hot dogs...anything they didn’t sell the day before and have now frozen. If you are in need of some supplemental food or know of someone who is, please let either Janet Hill in the church office or Dale Foster know and we will make sure you receive some Wawa food.

COME JOIN THE CHOIR !
 The choir practices in the choir room on Tuesday nights at 7pm.  We are always looking for fresh faces and happy voices to lift their praise to the Lord on Tuesday nights and Sunday mornings.  If you have any questions, please see Laura Cooper, Music Director

November 5th is All Saints’ Sunday, where we remember those who have passed away in the past year.  If you would like someone included in the prayers that day, please let Janet in the church office know.

“For I am certain that nothing can separate us from his love: neither death nor life, neither angels nor other heavenly rulers or powers, neither the present nor the future, neither the world above nor the world below--there is nothing in all creation that will ever be able to separate us from the love of God which is ours through Christ Jesus our Lord.”  Romans 8:38-39 (GNT)

Clothing Container Fundraising Program
Church Family, we now have a clothing donation box behind the church.  It is located near the driveway to the Pine Tree Ridge development.  The church will receive $50 per month for having the bin there.  So please clean out your closets and fill up the bin…and tell your friends and family about it too.  See below for more information and what is an acceptable donation and what is not.  Thank you!
    Help your community place their unwanted/gently used clothing, shoes, apparel & linens in our clothing collection containers. This saves our landfills and gives back to low income families in need! In return, this program raises funds for local non-profits and organizations in our communities. Currently, we help raise funds for the American Cancer Fund, Rotary International, Eden Autism, and many other local non-profits.
    They accept:  Adult & Children Clothing, Shoes, Handbags, Purses, Sandals, Sneakers, Boots, Jackets, Coats, Rain Gear, Leathers, Belts, Ties, Pants, Shirts, Sweaters, Vests, Blouses, Dresses, Skirts, Robes, Undergarments, Sheets, Pillowcases, Towels, Linens, Tablecloths, Hats, Scarfs, Gloves, Wallets, Jewelry, Watches, Uniforms, Jerseys, Backpacks, New Diapers, Household Items, Utensils, Hard & Soft Toys, Electronics, Bicycles & Small Bric-A-Brac Items.

Where the Word of Jesus is spoken, heard, and lived
 
 
 
Lord, when did we see you...? 
 
The purpose of the Social Ministry Team is to follow Jesus' commandment to love one another as he loved us.  To offer opportunities to our congregation to be good and faithful servants.  To share the love and truth of Jesus Christ and to offer hope to all God's children by giving of our time, our money and ourselves to our church, our community, and the world.
 
 
SOCIAL MINISTRY PROJECT FOR NOVEMBER – FISHER FOUNDATION – VETERAN’s
 A Bakeless Bake Sale to support the Fisher House Foundation
 
It’s time to find out what happened to all those dessert recipes that were collected during the month of October!!
Well, they will be available for a donation to the “cookie jar” on the table in the foyer!!  The proceeds from this project will be sent to support the Fisher House Foundation.  The Fisher House is a charity and foundation that builds comfort homes where military & veteran’s families can stay free of charge, while a loved one is in the hospital.   Fisher Houses are located at major military and VA medical centers nationwide, and, in Europe, close to the medical center or hospital it serves. Fisher House Foundation ensures that there is never a lodging fee.  Any questions, see Nancy Gansner.

Check out the can in the Fellowship Hall to recycle aluminum cans.  Not only does it help the environment, but it will generate some cash for the church.  Beth Schoening has volunteered to empty the can periodically and take the cans to the recycling center.  So, if you have any aluminum cans at home, please bring them in and it will help the earth and Faith Church!  Thank you!  (Make sure they are aluminum though…if a magnet does not attach to it, it’s aluminum.)  Thank you to everyone who is filling the can!

If you shop at Redner’s, please save your receipts.  Anna Friedrich turns them in and the church receives a monetary donation from Redner’s.  All you need to do is to put your receipts in the labeled basket outside of the sanctuary.  Thank you to those who bring in their receipts and to Anna who does the paperwork to receive this donation!  Please note that when bringing in your receipts we need the entire receipt.  Please do not tear off the bottom. Redner’s will not accept the receipt if the bottom is torn off.
