FALL 2018 CONGREGATIONAL QUESTIONS
Over the last several months, the Church Planning council has been having conversations on topics like: Mission, Vision, Values and Branding. As part of these conversations, the CPC is interested in your input. Our plan is to gather the responses to two questions and hold some conversations about the information that was gathered during the Adult Sunday School time on October 28th.
All responses will need to be returned no later than this Sunday. Click here to provide feedback.
PLAN TO HELP AT OUR GATHERING
Consider doing one of the following for our October 31st Gathering: donate treats, decorate your trunk & pass out candy, and/or host a craft! If you're participating in the Trunk or Treat, let us know here.
BETHEL BOUTIQUE - SOCKTOBER! 
Donate new socks (any sizes and colors) to the Bethel Boutique. The children especially like multi color and black socks. We already have plenty of white socks in stock. Donation bin located near Connect Board.
JUST ONE THING
Buy “Just One Thing” for our food pantries here at church. Especially good items are proteins like tuna, canned chicken, and hearty soups. Drop off your food items in the bin in the entryway near Connect Wall. Note: peanut butter is no longer needed. Thank you!
