PRAYER OF SERVANTHOOD
O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come. We give you thanks for your constant presence. Through seasons of stability and change, you are with us, calling us out of ourselves into the world to serve others. Grant that we may be united in love for each other and for those we haven’t yet met. Grant us wisdom, patience, and perseverance as we work through the details and challenges of the ministry you have placed before us. Continue, O Lord, to bless the work of our hands. Bless the work of our hands.
Amen.
Amen.
Just like I said on Sunday, it takes a village to raise a child. It takes a village to do a Book Sale. I am thankful for the community that provided the books for us to sell. The few people I do want to mention is John for getting all the tables set up, for doing whatever we ask and moving things around at the last minute. Bill is a godsend. He hangs all of the signs, sorts the books, spent lots of time down there and helped run the sale very smoothly while it was going on. Karen is another behind-the-scenes worker who does a lot. After her workday is done, you can sometimes find her downstairs sorting books for us. Thank you so much Karen. Thank you to all the volunteers that brought baked goods, were greeters and helped downstairs while the sale was going. Thank you to the Book Sale Committee: Rosemary Mooney, Pastor Beth, Shannon Johnson Ratelle, and Marilyn Dakins.
We raised a little over $3,100 and are very excited that we are able to provide scholarships to non-traditional students at Mid-State. All the leftover books this year will be going to four different places. Paperbacks will be given to the county jail and all children’s books will be going to the food pantry. Some of the religious books are going to St. John’s church for their book sale and all other books are going to a bookstore in Adams that is just starting out. I think we all did a great job.
Blessings,
Alice Lavin

I want to thank the Blessings Committee for all their help with hosting the Autumn Joy Ride. It took a lot of people to make this event happen. I think all that came and brought their memories had a very enjoyable afternoon.
I personally am very thankful to the Ott family. Without the help of Riley, Stephanie and family and along with my just dropping things off at their house, they picked up the pieces and put the power-point together with the last minute addition with Pastor Beth’s help.
And where would we be without the folks that went through their photos to bring back great memories. Thanks also for the cars you brought out to the parking lot.
It was good to see our church family share stories and we got to learn more of the things that bring joy to our lives.
God bless you all!
