Fellowship Refreshments Needed

We need people to sign up to provide Fellowship Treats for the month of October. The dates are October 13th and 27th. There is a signup sheet on the Parish Hall bulletin board. There are funds available for purchase of treats. It doesn't have to be fancy, it is your choice. If you have any questions, see Pastor Jon or Darlene.

Church Cookbooks for Sale

Just a reminder that we still have Church Cookbooks for sale. They make a great gift for a birthday, wedding, shower, or thank-you gift. They are only $5 each. They are on the table in the Parish Hall.

Monthly Fellowship Meal October 9th!

Our next Fellowship Meal will be October 9th at the Village Inn in Farmersville at 6:30 P.M. A signup sheet is on the bulletin board in the Parish Hall. Plan on coming for a good time, good fellowship, and good food!

Christmas Cheer Baskets

It's not too early to start thinking of the many things we need to do to get ready for the Christmas season! One of the things that we do is put together Cheer Baskets for our shut-ins or seniors. The carolers will deliver them when they go caroling on December 1st. Last year we did 15 baskets and that will stay the same. If you would like to give something to put in them you can put it in the kitchen on the counter or give it to any Committee member; or, if you would like us to do your shopping for you, we can do that too!

Some of the items we like to include are snacks of all kinds, chapstick, puzzle books, pens, calendars, combs, socks, etc. If you have an idea of something you would like to see included, please let us know. The Cheer Committee consists of Diane Thompson, Connie Izor, Dorothy Adams, Christa Alspaugh, and Darlene Dale. Thank you for all your help. Our shut-ins enjoy the cheer that we bring to them!

Community Jericho Walk October 12th!

On Saturday, October 12th, we are invited to join in the annual Jericho Walk, with the Valley View community as we gather together as one community and one family of God to pray for our community, and in particular all those who work to bring an end to the opioid epidemic in our area. Join us as we gather at Valley View High School from 11:00 A.M. to 12:45 P.M. to join in worshipping and walking around the school grounds together.

New YouTube Channel

We have started a YouTube channel, on which we will be uploading videos of the weekly Sermon, as well as other videos from weekly worship. Also, we will be posting links to videos on this website. Click on the link below to subscribe to our new channel and receive updates!

All Saints Sunday November 3rd

All Saints Sunday is November 3rd. If your loved one was not included in the slide show last year and you would like them included this year, you can either give your picture to Pastor Jon or leave it in Darlene's office on her desk. Thank you.
