Saturday, November 1 SET YOUR CLOCKS BACK ONE HOUR! You won’t want to miss observing All Saints’ Day in worship on Sunday, November 2nd. Everyone is invited to bring a picture of someone you wish to remember to place on the ofrenda (an altar) located in the sanctuary.
All Ding-a-ling Wannabes! Handbell Practice has begun! Rehearsals are held on Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m. All are welcome! For more information, please contact Becky Perreault.
Tuesday, November 4 Bunch for Lunch at Blue Bay Restaurant, Mukwonago
Gather at noon for fellowship and food. ALL are welcome!
Sunday, November 9: Due Date for Shared Ministry Collection for Rooted and Rising! With our ministry partners at Caldwell UMC, we are collecting 110 cake/brownie mixes for Thanksgiving for families at Rooted and Rising. Please have your donations brought to either Our Lord’s or Caldwell by Sunday, November 9th.
Also on Sunday, November 9, 11:30 a.m.: Story Path Winter Prep! Looking for folks willing to assist in bringing in the story backboards, acrylic sheets, and Free Libraries. We need folks to help wash and dry the acrylic sheets and help carry materials upstairs. Bring or wear your weather-appropriate work clothes to church and then gather for pizza afterward. For those who have adopted a planter, please have your flowers brought into the building on or before November 9 so we can have markers placed in the planters for snowplowing boundaries this winter. This is a great opportunity for a volunteer who loves to do repair work to re-nail planters that need attention.

Have you received your copy of Our Lord’s Breakthrough Prayer? Challenge yourself to pray this prayer daily as we continue to seek God’s direction during this stewardship season.
“Holy God, quiet our thoughts and open us to carefully listen, with hope. Create willingness toward action that rebuilds the church. Use our time, talent, and financial resources to draw in others. Inspire us, through worship and prayer, to love in ways that extend and expand the possibilities for ALL to do something, on the path before us. Let it be so.”
