President's Message

October 2024
Greetings:
It seems like just yesterday I was putting together my notes for the September newsletter, and here we are in October! Having sat in Worship & Music and Church Council Meetings, I can happily say that there will be quite a few things happening through the end of the year.
In just a few days there will be the Church Bazaar with many great crafts being displayed. I know that many of you have worked long hours to put this together and create the many crafts that will be available. Thank you for your hard and – folks, don’t miss it!!!
A new member class is forming and we will be formally recognizing those members on Reformation Sunday which is on October 27th. Please plan to join us.
The Church Council has just reviewed and approved the Preliminary budget for 2025 and will have that available for review in the Narthex. As a congregation we will be meeting on November 17th, after the service, to provide you a “State of Our Church” and to vote on this budget. Please circle that date and make sure you are in attendance. Also in November will be holding a Thanksgiving Eve service with the hopes that many of the nearby church’s may join us.
We have also made plans for December but I will save those for next month’s newsletter.
Only one person made a guess on the “quiz” and got it right. I will leave it here to see if anyone else can guess (and to see if you are reading the news!!):
What happens once in a minute, twice in a moment, but not once in a thousand years?
God Bless,
Russ
