Adults: A NEW ADULT CLASS IN RM 107 This Sunday, October 20, we continue a 10-week class using the History Channel mini-series "The Bible" at 9:15 a.m. We will watch one episode together and then at 10 a.m. we will have a guided discussion on the episode, what the Bible says, and what God might be saying to us today. This is a very approachable class and a great way to engage the Bible story anew or for the very first time. All are welcome.
This Sunday, October 20 at 9:45 a.m., the class in Room 201 will examine a few of the books left out of the Bible. Everyone is invited to the adult Sunday school class. Bring your questions, bring your thoughts, bring your brain, and bring your heart. All are welcome!"
Children: This Sunday, the three and four year-old children will read Plenty to Eat and discover how a famine reunites Joseph with his family. Elementary classes will meet Amos, God's messenger, who called people to live out God's justice - not just talk about it.

All Saints' Day is a day of observance in the liturgical calendar of the church in which we celebrate the lives of those whose race is run, who have kept the faith, and whose witness lives on among us in the communion of the saints. In our communion liturgy, those who passed from this life this year will be remembered with thanksgiving to God for their lives and witnesses. If there are friends or family who died in the last year whose names you would like remembered in this prayer on All Saints' Day, please contact the church office.
