Sunday Worship Service October 30 @ 11 AM

Pray for One Another - Nathan Gladish This is a follow-on from last week's topic of honoring one another. Praying for others is something Jesus modeled and encouraged. What does Swedenborg teach about it? What is useful
to pray about, and what can we expect to happen as a result of our prayers? These are some basic questions to explore together.
I will invite you to use some helpful tools to make praying for others an intentional effort in the coming week.
PROGRESS!
I'm still basking in the glow of last weekend's events - the super deluxe Halloween Party and the completion of the carpet installation and hearing aid sound system. Thank you to
everyone for your support in these meaningful and significant activities!!
With love and respect,
Nathan

For a variety of reasons, the Fall Craft Sale and
Boutique is officially postponed. It was scheduled for November 4 & 5, but with only 7 crafters signed up and a small number of volunteer helpers, it seemed wise to re-think the event and try something else another time.
Interested in discussing
a future event? Contact Cheri or Christine.

Halloween Party - SUCCESS!!
|
A Boo-tiful Halloween Party!
Last Friday’s Halloween party under the lighted canopy in Sunrise
Chapel’s Celebration Garden was a super fun-filled event! It was enchanting to be surrounded by twinkling lights, enjoying the costumes, games, food, and decorations! Many thanks to the large and creative committee who did a fabulous job! Thank you for all the love and energy you shared to make it a truly fun and memorable event!

NEW LOOK—LIKE NEW!
Thanks to a generous grant from the Asplundh
Family Foundation, our beloved Chapel is looking Grand! With new carpet, fresh paint, upgraded baseboards and the removal of the old organ and speakers, the chapel has a new, clean look! The meeting room (Vestry) now has wall-to-wall carpet for the first time, and the bride’s room in Friendship Hall has also been re-carpeted. Take a look around! It all looks beautiful!
THANK YOU to the many people who helped with this phase of the project, including the Asplundh Grant team members, a few generous independent donors, and the many workers and volunteers who put in a lot of their time, ingenuity, and love to get this phase of the work finished. Well done, everyone!
NEW HEARING AID SYSTEM
Thank you to Cheri Reynolds, in honor of her husband George, for the generous gift of a new hearing aid sound system which was just installed under the new carpet in the chapel. Now anyone with hearing aids properly programmed can easily pick up anything that is
broadcast through the sound system. Amazing!
We also have four personal headsets for those without hearing aids. Take it for a test drive! The more people who appreciate its value, the better!
NEXT PHASE
The entry ways for the Chapel and Friendship Hall
will get new tile flooring! The ceilings and lighting in the Chapel foyer and vestry will be upgraded! The team hopes to have this work completed by the holidays.
