“CHANGE” THE BOILER FUNDRAISER: YES, (to answer those who have asked), it is fine to leave paper money or checks as well as loose change in the coin jar located near the front pew as you enter the sanctuary. We will continue to offer this opportunity to participate through November. Thank you for helping to cover the $28,000 cost of our new boiler.
SHOPPING LISTS AVAILABLE: Our annual Harvest Food Donation project will run through November 19. There are shopping lists available on the tables in the narthex and chapel. Any and all donations are appreciated, but there are certain items that are especially helpful, as indicated on the shopping list. Your gifts will support our partners, St. Vincent de Paul, as they prepare to serve our neighbors in need during the holidays. This year we will also accept donations of MACARONI & CHEESE, which will be delivered to Potter’s Field to assist them as they provide meals to the group of under-supervised and neglected children that they mentor.
THIS SATURDAY is TRUNK OR TREAT from 3 – 4:30. It’s not too late to sign up to participate. In case of rain, the event is moved inside. Please arrive early enough to be set up and ready to go by 3 PM. We hope to see everyone there for a fun community activity! Thank you to all who have donated snacks!
TURKEYS & HAMS: Again this year, we are accepting donations of turkeys and hams which can be stored in our downstairs freezer. We deliver these to various agencies, all located in Niagara Falls, that provide free holiday dinners for our neighbors in need. If you need help carrying your donation downstairs, please ask an usher.
CHOIR REMINDER: We will be practicing immediately after worship today IN THE BALCONY. We would like to sing soon, so your attendance will be greatly appreciated. All are welcome to join us.
JUST ONE WEEK remains to give to our Lutheran Schools, Holy Ghost and St. John. Please consider supporting these eternally important ministries through October with your envelopes designated for “Mission of the Month”.
