Candy, Names, and a Survey….yep, it’s a random email this week
Your weekly update from Marceline UMC
Hello Church,
This email is coming out to you later than normal. Emily, Jack, and I had a great weekend with family celebrating my little brother getting married. Jack made a great ring bearer, and the parting shot at the end of this email is of him and how much fun he had at the wedding (yes I’m shamelessly showing of pictures of my kid).
There are a few things that I want you to pay attention to this week. One is that we’ve got a lot of candy for Halloween!! Thank you to everyone that has brought some. If you would still like to make a donation for Halloween on the boat, we’re looking for some lanterns we can hang up, bottles of water to hand out, and help both setting up on Saturday and giving out candy on Sunday. All are welcome to come and participate. Its really going to be a great night!
The second thing is that I’m still collecting names for All Saints Sunday. If you would like to honor someone who has passed away in the last year, please get their name to me so that we can lift them up on All Saints Sunday.
The last thing is that our Annual Conference has sent out a survey on Race and Culture that they would like us to complete. This is to help our conference to understand things better so that we can be a better church for all people. If you can, please click the link below to complete the survey.
Finally I want to say thank you to all the folks that helped make Sunday happen! Special thanks to Jamie Sibley and the folks at Children’s Division for sharing their message with us. Also, a big thank you to Shelly Huffman and Andrea Vandeloecht for running the service! I appreciate that I don’t have to worry how things go when I’m gone.
I’m looking forward to this coming Sunday and everything that comes with it. We’ll see you then!
Remember you can forward these emails on to folks that might be interested in them, and they can subscribe by clicking on the button below
Have a great week!
Peace,
Pastor John
