All Saints Sunday: Next Sunday, November 2nd, is All Saints Sunday, when we will be honoring those who have passed since the 2024 All Saints Sunday.  If there is someone you would like added to the list of names that will be read, please let the office know, along with the name of the person who will be lighting the candle for them (you or someone else).

Bake & Craft Sale: Thank you to the bakers, workers, and customers.

The Scandinavian Bake Sale and Craft Sale was another hit.  Those of us lucky enough to get baked goods know how delicious they all were. Our profits were: $116 for Community Table; For crafts $586; for WELCA from baked goods $1,343.25 and for Scandinavian souvenirs $140.75 was donated.

Altar Flowers:  Flowers gracing the altar today are in loving memory of Donna Stephan from her children.

Tom’s Community Table: Tuesday, November 11, at 5 PM at St. Matthias will be the traditional Thanksgiving Meal that we host and serve with Ascension.  The sign up for items to bring for that meal will be posted soon. You may also make donations toward the turkey and potatoes. Worker sign-up will also be posted. This is usually a well-attended meal and Paul’s chef skills are tasty, especially the wonderful stuffing. Hot apple cider will be a special treat.

Frederick’s Place Meal:  Items you may have signed up for should be brought in on Sunday, 10/26, for the meal on the 28th.

Garden News:  The garden season has come to a close.  Cranberry mulch has been delivered to help nourish the soil for the next season’s growth.  8976 pounds of produce were sent to the Pantry in 2025!
