Join us this Sunday as we honor our ancestors and all those who have gone before us in this life. What do we owe them? And what do we owe those who will someday call us ancestor?
All are welcome!
No Classes this week as we are holding our Monthly Potluck! This month’s theme is Honoring Our Ancestors, so bring a dish to share, a family favorite or a recipe honoring your ancestors.

Halloween Hunger Hunt
It is estimated that 1 in 6 children in Wyoming are struggling with having insufficient food. We ask that you please help us to battle the Horcrux of Hunger by bringing in a canned good or nonperishable food item by Sunday, October 27th.
We ask that you take a moment after service and prior to the potluck to hide your donation somewhere in the sanctuary so that the children can battle the iniquity of hunger by finding your gifts. Your kind donations shall be given to Family Promise.

First Quarter Pledge statements are being mailed out this week. Please note that they will include only pledge payments recorded during the 1st quarter of our fiscal year (July– September).

It is also possible that payments made at the very end of September may not have been recorded until October.

Please join us for volleyball on Sundays from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. We are a fun group, and we are not competitive.
If you are new to the game we will help you learn or improve skills. We are currently in a rebuild mode as many of our players have moved out of town. We will keep volleyball going through November 10, 2019. After that, if we don’t have at least eight regular attendees we will cancel the program.
We try to make this a game for everyone, but if you are under 13 years of age your parent has to be in the room while you play. Non church members are also very welcome, so bring a friend.
No volleyball on October 20, 2019th since all of our leaders will be out of town.
If you have questions, please feel free to call Joe Corrigan at 630.6192.

Important! Please Read!
We have been experiencing a growing issue with peanut residue in the building, especially in the library. Please, do not bring peanut products into the building, and if your little ones enjoy their peanut butter snacks before coming, please be sure their hands are clean before they touch surfaces used by everyone. We are seeing almost daily allergic reactions, so we ask you to please be diligent. It may be an inconvenience to you, but it can be life-threatening to those who are allergic.
