Moderators October Message

Hello!

Welcome to fall! The mornings are cool and the leaves are falling!

The church council continues to work on several projects within our church; some are for the church building and some are for the community. I am happy to report that the door on the west side of the building is being replaced as I am writing this! I know it has taken some time but I think we will all be happy with the results. You have been hearing about the sidewalk replacement for months now, I know. Turns out we needed a sidewalk replacement permit prior to actually replacing our sidewalk. The good news is that the permit process has been completed and we are now ready for the contractor to get started.

You have been hearing a lot about Rachel’s Hope. This program continues to build momentum. Thank you to everyone who has donated hygiene products or has made financial donations. You are truly making a difference. Stay tuned for more updates and developments on how you can become a volunteer for Rachel’s hope.

We have two really amazing WinGs meetings this month. The WinGs group is such a special group with a strong focus on how we can go out, do things for our community and bring our community together. We are going to be serving the banquet at Grace Lutheran Church on Oct. 14 (please see sign up sheets in the narthex). There are several ways in which you can participate and be a part of this event. We will also be selling homemade crafts at the “Got it At Grace” Grace Lutheran Craft Fair on November 2. Be sure to check out this event and stop by our table. Just look for the table with the First Congregational UCC banner!

Last thing I want to mention is Universal Church Directories will be at our church to take photographs for our church directory on Nov 12 and 13. One thing to note; the photographs will be back to you the first week of December so just in time for Christmas cards. More information is coming soon!

Love to all, Susan
