Thanks to everyone who contributed items for the School Kits! Staunton Mennonite sent 34 kits to Mennonite Central Committee, which will be shared with children who are in need of these educational items.

Church Council will meet this Wednesday at 7:00 pm (please note the time change).

The Fall Brunswick Stew Cook Out will be at the Huyards’ on Sunday, Oct. 21. We'll plan to eat at 5 p.m. but the stew will need to be started early in the afternoon. Folks may come early to help with this. If anyone has tomatoes, corn, potatoes, onions, or limas to contribute let Kathy or Marlene know. Please bring a salad or dessert to go with the stew. If anyone wants stew to take home they should bring a quart jar.

Jenifer Bradford would like to invite everyone to a carry-in meal to celebrate the 50th anniversary of her coming to the United States. The meal will be held immediately after church on October 28th in the church fellowship hall. Jenifer plans to share during the dessert time about her immigration experiences.
