OCTOBER 2017
FROM THE PASTOR
The grace and peace of the living Christ is certainly with us.
Ahh, fall... except it's been 80-90 degrees! It was more like fall at the end of August! Anyway, fall is the beginning of our church program year and it's time to get cracking.
Water Ministries, and Shoes for Appalachia have already been successful! What a surprise it
was last week when a group of three teenage boys were biking by and they stopped for water
from our cooler in front of the church. Unfortunately, the water was gone! One young man
said, "Dang, I was counting on water being here like it has been this summer." I immediately
ran into the house and got him some water. Please sign up in Case Hall to put a case of water
in the cooler out front. Fall is a great time for biking, running, and walking in our area. And
yes, we are being counted on! Dot Villano has already sent two boxes of shoes to our family in
Inez, Kentucky. April Moore was so thankful to receive our shoes and to distribute them to her
neighbors! The collections continue in Case Hall.
The Shack is a book by Willie Young that was made into a movie earlier this year. I just got a
copy of a 5-week study on the book/movie. On Wednesday, October 11 at 7PM, I'll show the
movie and then we'll do the study for the next 5 Wednesdays (ending a week before
Thanksgiving). Have you read the book yet? As always, the book is better, but the movie is also
very good! I'm glad I read the book before the movie so I could see how someone else
interpreted the book. While not all the directors' choices were not mine, I was still thrilled to
see someone else's imagination on this. There is some really great theology in this amazing
work. You won't be disappointed. If you'd like to just come for the movie, please do!
I’ve made arrangements with Dana and Sandy at Petals & Paws to have a Blessing of the
Pets there on Saturday, October 21 from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm. Please bring your mostly-
controlled pets and tell your friends! Sandy has hinted that there will be free ice cream for
at least the dogs! There will definitely be pet treats and water. A pet blessing is a simple
service where each handler/pet comes forward to receive a prayer of thanksgiving and
wellness. I know this is the same day as our Holly Boutique luncheon, but there really was
no other weekend available this year. There is an adoption event the week before at Petal &
Paws, and adopters will be invited to return the next Saturday for a blessing. In any event,
this should be a blast, and please come if you're not working the Holly Boutique! Please
spread the word.
See you in church, in the community, and in the world,
Pastor Karen 203-213-0410 / [email protected]

SECRETARY’S CORNER
Here it is fall already! Where did the summer go!
That means things will start ramping up in the
church office so get those articles, dates, etc. to me
early so they will make it into the Messenger and
bulletin. Thank you.
FRIDAY NIGHT OUT DINNER
UPDATE
Dinner one hundred seventeen - one hundred twenty
three.
Here we go again! Another year of delicious
dinners. I would like to thank you for your loyal
support, and remind you to sign up on the sign up
sheets the two weeks before a dinner. You come
for many consecutive dinners and then just as I
want to do, you take a vacation and I don't know till
the last minute you will be away. Most dinners I
have only a skeleton crew signed up and then most
of you just show up (thank God)!!! There's no
committee, no meetings, but PLEASE SIGN UP.
Desserts are getting harder to get the twenty I need.
Many of our bakers are not able to bake anymore.
If you have never done it, it's easy. Betty or
Duncan are a good start. Things with chocolate and
whip cream are popular. Pie is a big hit, and Marie
Callendar makes a perfect crust. Cupcakes and
brownies don't hold a candle to cake and pie. If you
would like to try let me know.
I am getting the year of dinners lined up. We need
7. October will be a week late due to the Holly
Boutique. I am open to new chefs and new ideas
for meals. I hope you're all onboard for year 12.
Where did the time go?
Diane Yekel
FOOD BANK UPDATE
As of September 21, we have delivered 78 bags to
the Food Bank. The children are back in school and
some families are struggling to meet family
obligations. Keep up the good work by adding to
the Canton Food Bank. Thank you!

NEWS FROM THE MEMORIAL
GARDEN CHAIRMAN
I have resigned as chairman of the Memorial
Garden. It just got to be too much. I am pleased to
announce that Ron and Deb Parker will take over as
co-chairpersons. I will still work in the garden and
other flower beds around the church. A weed
anywhere is a weed that needs to be pulled.
I would like to thank the original Memorial
Committee and all those that joined along the way.
I would like to thank the Friends of the Memorial
Garden. They were never on the committee but
showed up and supported whatever work I wanted
to get done. I also want to thank the Angels for all
their efforts in our major projects.
