Keys for Gods Kingdom - Organ Fund Have you noticed the poster in the narthex with the picture of a new, beautiful organ? Wont it be great when that instrument graces our sanctuary? The sound will be amazing and will allow for a richer musical experience in our worship. We have surpassed half of our goal of $40,000!! Thanks to all who have contributed to this effort. You are part of a legacy as we expect our new organ to service us for the next half a century! Wow!

November 7 - All Saints Day We honor our loved ones who have passed on in many ways. In our church we honor those passed on All Saints Day, November 7. We will have tables set up that day for your remembrances (pictures or special items) that you might like to bring to help feel the presence of those who are no longer with us. Look for more information in the bulletin soon!
November 14 - Veterans Day Pastors are planning a special service for our veterans on November 14. We would like to set up a display in the narthex of pictures and memorabilia from our service men and women. Please give your items to one of the Pastors so that we can set up before the services. Watch the bulletin for reminders.
