8:00am Pilates, 9:30am Explorers Bible Study, and Pumpkin Patch field trips in the morning.
Then, tonight:
5:00pm - Handbells
5:30pm - Wednesday Night Supper - Chicken or Red Beans and Rice
6:15pm - Children's Music - they will be playing on Sunday October 31st
6:25pm - Mid Month Solace Worship Service - a time of prayer, singing the old songs in a new way, Holy communion and short devotional thought. Come and feed your body at Supper and Feed Your Soul at Worship
PUMPKIN PATCH NEWS - if you have noticed our pumpkin supply is down to almost nothing. It's embarrassing to have so few pumpkins, but Praise God that means we have been blessed to sale many many pumpkins. The Great News is The Cavalry is on the way, or should I say the Pumpkin Trucks are on the way. Yes, we have the opportunity to download two truck loads this week. The first is scheduled for noon on Thursday and the second truck is scheduled for noon on Friday. Unheard of, but we can do it! Please, if at all possible, come out to cheer, to encourage, to lift, to help us unload on one or both days. I am sure there is a special blessing from heaven for Pumpkin Truck Unloaders.
And then, this Saturday and Sunday, the HUGE, Gigantic Pumpkin Patch Craft Show. We have 80 booths that have signed up. So come out to shop, come out to eat (The Daily Life Class will be working hard to cook enough food for the crowd), come out and greet folks and tell them what a great blessing it is to come to our church.
Last but certainly not least, because it is what we are all about. Sunday worship. Our 9:00am service will be held indoors and our focus will be on "Where do I go now, after the Purpose Driven Life".
Then our 11:00a, service will be unique. We are attempting to take our Faith Out of our Four Walls - an Outdoor service (weather permitting). I suspect this will be a short service (attention span problems) but my message is just about that: how we live our faith out, not just in the four walls of the church, but out in the hustle and bustle of Pumpkin patch, commerce, activity. Some of you 9:00am service people may want to come back. When is the last time you were in an outdoor service? Well brothers and sisters, that might be just too long.
Now this is just how mission minded we are here at Covenant. Saturday November 6th, when we should be putting our feet up and resting, we are hosting the St. Jude Bike and Walk a Thon. We hope to be bigger and better then ever. Go to our website: www.CovenantUM.org and see how you can help. We are hoping our Sunday school classes and small groups will enter into the competitive spirit to see which class can have the most participants and win a great trophy.
With all my love,
Rev. Chris Blanchard
