Lunch with the Pastor
Thursday, Sept 5th Please join Pastor Mary in the Fireplace Room at 11:45am for Lunch with the Pastor. Bring a brown bag lunch and she will provide beverages and dessert. This is a nice way to share what’s going on in our lives. Bring a friend! All are welcome. Mission Sunday September 15th Banners: it’s another Mission Sunday so we will use part of our Sunday worship as a time to put together new banners for our sanctuary at Thanksgiving time. We will need people to cut shapes and letters from fabrics, place them on a background fabric, glue or sew them in place and do whatever else needs to be done to complete two banners. You will be able to feel that you have had a part in making our sanctuary a beautiful and meaningful place to worship. TRUNK OR TREAT No, it’s not October yet, but it’s never too early to start planning! We are getting ready to host our 7th annual Trunk or Treat Halloween event. It’s a fun Halloween party for us, a safe family environment for trick or treaters and a wonderful opportunity for community outreach and to greet our neighbors. We had so much fun at last year’s Trunk or Treat and we would love for more of you to participate this time. Trunk or Treat runs from 5–7 pm on October 31 so there is plenty of time for you to head out to your own Halloween festivities or trick or treating later in the evening. Let Marcia know if you will participate this year. We need at least a dozen cars to have a successful event. In the meantime, get those ideas and your creativity flowing! Just Google “Trunk or Treat” and you will find tons of websites with great ideas – as simple or as elaborate as you want. We support the Teal Pumpkin project that helps make sure all children will come home on Halloween night with something they can enjoy. Please contact Marcia Olson baglole.olson@verizon.net | 781-344-9547] or Sally Monahan [sal_kev@yahoo.com] for more information or sign up to help. Food Pantry Collection Each month on Communion Sunday we collect non-perishable food items to share with our neighbors who are facing challenging circumstances and food insecurity at the Ilse Marks Food Pantry. As we come to the Lord’s Table, let us share our blessings with others.
