Prayer Labyrinth
This is a path the doubles back on
itself and leads to a center in a
way that is not obvious. It is not a
maze; you cannot get lost in it;
there is only one way in and out
by retracing your steps. In preparation for the holidays, come
walk the path while praying on
Thursdays, November 13 & 20,
from 10:00am-noon in the Jones
Fellowship Hall. Additional dates
and times: Friday, Saturday, and
Sunday after Thanksgiving.
Pathways to Healing
A grief recovery workshop will be
held monthly with sessions from
3:00-4:30pm. The next meeting
will be on November 23 in the
Wesley Room.
Nursery Notes
Nurseries are available from
9:00am till the end of the 11:00am
service. Explosion worship and
Sunday School are also available for
older children during these hours.
Crying, fidgeting and excited
children are always welcome in our
worship services if you prefer to
have your child stay with you.

The budget that has been compiled by the Finance Committee reflects
decreases in requests from committees and staff for 2015, not by much,
just over $1,000 as a total, from $709,785 to $708,447. This budget
reflects growth in some areas and reductions in others.
The budget will go to Church Council on November 17, then to
Charge Conference on November 18 to be approved. If anyone would
like a copy of the budget to look at, please ask at the church office.
Please be in prayer for this process.
