Dear Friends in Christ,
Today is International Food Day, a call to us to be responsive in prayer and
giving for people who are starving from lack of food, and people who are food insecure. We pray and we begin collecting items for the THANKSGIVING and
CHRISTMAS BASKETS.
With that, this Sunday's Gospel text from Matthew is another "discussion"
between Jesus and the Pharisees. This time, the Pharisee trickery is about a coin with images on both sides: how does one know what to pay Caesar and what we owe to God?
A NOTE ABOUT WORSHIP
SERVICES AFTER NOV 1
Last Sunday, we had our annual congregation meeting. The budget for 2021 was
approved and it was decided to make a change to our worship schedule.
Due to the time change on November 1, and the reality that we have open
spaces in the fellowship room on Sundays, it was decided that as of November 1, we will have worship on Sundays only.Wednesday night worship will cease for the time being. Our council will re-assess as we continue through
the pandemic.
