On All Saints Day, United Methodists

publicly remember and honor those who have

passed away. Celebrated on the first Sunday

in November, many congregations light

candles, ring bells of remembrance, and

call the names of those lost in the previous

year as a way of honoring the impact their

lives have had on us.

Today we remember those who have given of themselves for our country, we reflect on

the blessings of liberty and the sacrifices that keep us free, we reflect on those special

people – our veterans – like you. Happy Veterans Day

On this Thanksgiving Day, let us take the opportunity to express our gratitude to the Lord

for all that he has given us. Have a wonderful and joyous Thanksgiving.

Obur Omod and his son, Ojulu Thatha, stand on the front porch of their Habitat for Humanity home that is in the process of being built right now.

The front door was donated by the Come Join Us Sunday School class. Their home should be finished in time for Christmas.

Christmas Food Assistance

Wesley Community Services would like to announce that they are now

taking applications for the Christmas Assistance Program. In an attempt

to help more families enjoy a nice holiday dinner, we are only providing

food for the families who apply for assistance. In addition, those families

who have received assistance in the past can apply for assistance again

this year. Applications can be found in the Narthex or by the Christmas

Assistance bulletin board by the water fountain. Applications need to be

completed by Friday, November 16th.

Many in the church have given generously in the past to help us make this program successful

and we still welcome that support. In the weeks to come we will share more about how you can

help with this program. Stay tuned!

Questions? Please see Vicki Jackson or Dee Ellen Davis.
