Sunday, November 1st Worship Schedule
ALL SAINTS DAY – a Service of Song, Word, Prayer and Remembrance at 9:00 am
All Saints Day is a beautiful day in the life of the church when we stop to name and remember and give thanks to those of that faith that have gone on before us – who have journeyed from this life to the next with Jesus and whose faith has sustained us in our lives.
As you prepare to worship – we invite you to have a picture of your saint(s) available and a candle as well. We will be naming and lighting a candle for those from Lord of Life and friends of the congregation who died this past year. Please join us in this time of remembrance.
Affirmation of Baptism Service at 10:30am
This service will also be live streamed on Sunday, November 1st. Join in celebrating with 20 young people the affirmation of their faith!
Fuel Up Forestview Update
First of all, THANK YOU to the LOL folks for the generous food donations. What a blessing! Bags were packed today in preparation to send them home with kids before they stay home for Distance Learning. The donations received from LOL helped make that happen. Forestview is making plans to continue to get bags of food to kids while they are at home. We don’t know what kind of time frame we are looking at, but we want kids to continue to have access to the pantry.
That being said, this big ‘packing of bags’ depleted the shelves and we would welcome continued donations for kids who will be home alone making their own lunches. Think kid-friendly, easy to prep meals & snacks. Right now, especially helpful items include:
* Chef Boyardee style pasta meals
* any kind of noodles & pasta sauce
* individual packets of oatmeal
* crackers
* canned soups
* pouches of tuna
* peanut butter
* rice krispie treats
* hot cocoa mix/drink mixes
* canned vegetables
* stuffing mix
With thanks, Helene and Etta Danielson
