Bible Study continues in October
Blu Glavin is leading a weekly Bible study on Thursdays through October 23rd. The group meets in the Pastor’s office from 3:15-4:30. The study is called The Bible’s Greatest Hits. Each week the group is looking at an important scripture that thematically shapes our faith and practice. The group will also look at the scripture for the upcoming Sunday.
It is not mandatory to attend every week so even if you have yet to attend, you may still join the study in October as you are available. Bring your own Bible and an open mind. If you don't have a Bible don’t worry, we have plenty available for your use. No particular biblical knowledge is expected or required! Blu is the contact, should you have questions. Her number is (207) 318-6976.

Community Garden News
The revitalization of the Community Garden continues. The next Volunteer Workday is Saturday October 11th starting at 8 AM and ending at 11 AM. With the Florida sun and heat, it is not expected that you work a full 3 hours. Please just come and work for as long as you are comfortable. If you have some garden tools and gloves, bring them along. If not, there will be some available at the garden. As before, some “healthy” snacks will be provided.
ALSO, be sure to take a look at the garden. There have been some big improvements over the last couple of weeks to get ready for the fall planting season. A big thank you to Joan and Jeff Bryden, Brian and Debbie Voye and Karen LaJoie (the Community Garden manager) for all their hard work and labor to get the garden in shape. Also, thank you to Dale and Barbara Harrell for donating a weed eater and a mower, and thank you to Larry Russell, a neighbor, for tuning up this equipment so it can be used.
If you would like to have a garden plot, there are some available. If you are interested, please call the church office at (941) 722-3513. The church office hours are Tuesday and Thursday from 11AM to 4 PM. If you get voice mail, please leave a message with your name, phone number and that you are calling about the garden and we will get back to you.
Peace and Global Witness Offering
This coming Sunday, October 5th, is World Communion Sunday and the final Sunday to give to the Peace and Global Witness special offering.
The Peace and Global Witness Offering draws us together by providing education and exposure to those who show us how to do peacemaking well. This offering enables the church to promote the peace of Christ by addressing systems of injustice in our own communities and across the world. 25% of the offering stays with our church to support those in our own community who are struggling with oppression and injustice. There will be a pamphlet available at the entrance to the sanctuary, along with a special offering envelope, that provides more information on this mission. Please prayerfully consider contributing to this special offering.
