What’s
New as of November 17, 2008
- We want to
provide AUMS with 25-30 baskets of turkey and trimmings
for families in inner city Albany. Please be generous in assisting
these families. We'll be collecting donations from now until Nov.
23. We'll need 30 turkeys (we'll accept frozen turkeys or money/store
certificates); 30 large or 60 small packages of stuffing mix,
cans of sweet potatoes/yams, boxes of instant mashed potatoes,
packages of muffin mix; 30 boxes/packages of cake mix (and frosting),
brownie or cookie mix or packaged, prepared desserts; 30 cans
of cranberry sauce; 60 jars/cans of gravy or packages of gravy
mix ; and 60 cans of green beans or peas, corn, and fruit.
- Mission Ministry
Team has an urgent need for six cribs. Mission Movers also
need metal bed frames (queen, full/double, and single/twin), single/twin
sheets, and single/twin mattresses and box springs. If you wish
to donate, please contact Karen
Pass at 767-2809.
- Come to the
Harvest Dinner this Sunday, Nov. 23 in Fellowship Hall,
immediately following the 9:30 a.m. worship service. This annual
dinner is offered free of charge by a group of people from our
congregation as an expression of thanks for the bountiful gifts
bestowed on us as a church community. Please join us for a wonderful
meal - and an enjoyable time of sharing. Please bring a dessert
to share and a contribution for AUMS Thanksgiving baskets (please
see article above for further details). If you'd prefer not to
make a dessert, bring several items (or money) for AUMS baskets.
Either way, think AUMS! And please be generous!
- Also this
Sunday, Nov. 23 at 7 p.m. there will be an ecumenical Thanksgiving
service at St. Thomas the Apostle Church, with worship to be led
by area ministers. The service will feature voices of local church
choirs - including First United Methodist. A freewill offering
will be taken to help the needy in our community.
- “Making
— Wisdom’s Path,” Rev. Janice Palm's sermon on
Nov. 16, is available on-line here.
- Join Rev.
Janice Palm for a new program for both men and women interested
in exploring God. The program will run for eight weeks beginning
Nov. 10 (and 12), with a choice of two gatherings: one session
each week on Monday evenings, 7-8:30 p.m., and one session each
week on Wednesday mornings, 10-11:30 a.m. Join Pastor Palm in
