PET BLESSING – is scheduled for Oct 4 – bring your scaley, furry, fluffy, feathered friends to be blessed by Pastor Grant. We will paws before worship to bestow good tidings on our pets. We know it is last minute and we know you all have already done a lot of donating and supporting in the last couple of weeks, however, we would like to collect some pet supplies on Oct 4. Food, litter, treats – for cats and dogs. (Not intentionally leaving other beasts out – but cats and dogs are usually the ones at the shelter. We can free up funds for the non-cat and non-dog beasts.)

NOTES FROM ANN – the picture at the top of the page was submitted by Bev Epping – she captured a sunrise on Bass Lake. The bottom picture is from Patty Rasmussen. Wow!

Pastor Grant and I had a moment to discuss communion this past week. I said the part I like about communion the most is watching everyone go through the line. If there is a stranger, I notice and am happy they decided to stop in. If it is one of you all, I pause and reflect on each of you as you walk by. It brings a smile to my heart and recharges me to do better for the church in the upcoming week. Matthew 18:20 “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” Course – the reference means more than just that one sentence, but it brings home to me how much coming to church makes a difference.
