Greetings from Sunday School,
Sunday School has started again and I feel it is going to be another great year. Remember that all our welcome and encouraged to attend. I would like to encourage adults to attend Sunday School ( it is not just for kids). The adult class has just finished a study on Revelation and are now beginning a study of Daniel. We are looking for volunteers for the Christmas program and we can always use substitute teachers. Contact a member of the Sunday School board or Pastor Giese if you are interested.
God Bless, Drew M.

HARVEST HOME SUNDAY, Oct 7th
For several years we have not celebrated harvest in this manner. It is time to revive this tradition. The church sanctuary will be decorated on Saturday, October 6th with any bounty that is brought in. We need corn stalks, fruits, vegetables, and any other item that you can think of to decorate the altar.

FALL BAZAAR-Saturday, October 20th 10-1p.m.
There are various committees in need of workers. As always we need pies and workers for the kitchen. Mary Ann is going to be in charge of the noodle making again this year. She will post her dates and needs in the church bulletin. Help is also needed to set up the church Friday, October 19th. We are in need of craft items and baked goods. If you haven't volunteered before and feel the need to get involved , please contact one of the PW officers, or talk to any woman at the church. Your help is always welcomed.

PRAISE SUNDAY
The women of our church use one Sunday a year and conduct the entire service as our praise to the Lord. We haven't confirmed a group for the service yet, but we will. There are several areas that we would like you to help us with. We need ushers, readers, greeters, bakers, and the list goes on. Please watch the bulletins for additional ways to get involved with your PW.

The Food Pantry is located in Wilton near the Advocate News Office. Food donations can be brought to the church and we’ll see that they get there. Thank you for your help.
