The Light October 2024
As the leaves change and the air turns crisp, we are reminded of the beauty of this season. October brings not only a shift in nature but also exciting opportunities for our community to come together in faith and fellowship. In this month's newsletter, you'll find updates on upcoming events, inspiring stories, and ways to get involved.
Here are a few important highlights:
1. **Blessing of the Pets**: Join us with your furry friends this Sunday-October 6th at 12pm down at Orchard Beach for a special blessing and treat from Reverend Wendy Sue.
2. **IMPORTANT Housekeeping**: Please update your contact information by filling out THIS FORM. We ask that everyone in your household with an email complete the form. We would like to include everyone in the Newsletters as we develop events for all ages! If you know of someone that does not have access to complete the form online, we have copies in our office that can be filled out. However, our office staff (😉) has worked hard to clean up the future of the system, but we need your help by completing the forms to start!
3. **Volunteer Opportunities**: We are in need of candy to hand out to the children in the community on Halloween.
4. **Prayer Requests**: Please feel free to share any prayer requests with the congregation. We believe in the power of prayer and are here to support one another.
5. **Save the Date**: Our Fall Concert will be on November 3rd. 3-4:15pm with a reception to follow!
Let’s embrace this beautiful fall season together, growing in faith and community.
Thank you for being a vital part of our church family!
It looks like the calendar didn't stream in with the updates we had made to a few dates. I have included the updated version of The Light.

The Light September 2024
While you may be buckling up for your last road trip of this summer, sitting down to make a list of the final school supplies you need to purchase for your children (or yourself), or closing down your kitchen before you head to bed -- we wanted to offer you some LIGHT reading material with our September newsletter. You will be happy to hear from the members of the church, details related to Rally Sunday, the First Day of Sunday School, our "usual events", NEW community events we are hosting this Fall and MORE!
We are also in the process of updating our directory of members, friends, and business partners, so please look for another email late next week with details on what we need from you.
