Scripture: Psalm 121
Message: A Woman Called Moses
Reverend Mary Arnold, Guest Speaker

 “A Woman Called Moses” is the title of the message that Reverend Mary Arnold will bring this Sunday, November 9. Drawn from Psalm 121, the message will focus on the amazing faith and life of Harriet Tubman. Born a slave in 1822, Tubman attained freedom for herself, and then was responsible for the freedom of hundreds of other former slaves. Join us this week for a very uplifting message!

Scripture: John 14:1-3
Message: Where Are They Now?
Pastor Paul Arnold

 Most of us have a loved one who has passed on into God’s hands, someone we remember with love, and perhaps with great longing. Should we refer to these loved ones as “saints?” And what does a Christian mean by the term “saint?” We will consider these and other important questions on All Saints Sunday, November 2, in a message drawn from John 14:1-3. Please join us for an uplifting worship service this weekend.

Clothing for Danville Correctional Center’s Newly Released Offenders

Clothing for Danville Correctional Center’s Newly Released Offenders

During the month of November, we again have the opportunity to participate in a program of the Danville Correctional Center to provide good used men’s clothing for at least half of those 500 offenders who are released each year with few assets to their name (only prison clothing).  Offenders about to be released can select clothing which can give them a sense of self-worth as they step back out into the world.

A labeled box is provided in the Resource Room for donations of all sizes of men’s clothing.  Especially needed are men’s jeans, pants, shirts, shoes, and jackets.  Please do not include any belts, ties, suspenders, or hangers.  We ask that you make your donations between November 1-30, 2025.  The church office will be open from 10 am to 3:00 pm weekdays for you to drop off your items, or you can bring them on Sunday morning.

We will be joining other churches in our area in this program.   Please remember the deadline for this fall collection is November 30.  We would like to thank Bob Clark from Good Shepherd Lutheran Church for picking up and transporting our donated clothing to Danville.

Thank you for your help.
