November 1st
All Saints Sunday
Almighty God, you have knit together your elect
in one communion and fellowship in the mystical body of your Son Christ
our Lord: Give us grace so to follow your blessed saints in all
virtuous and godly living, that we may come to those ineffable joys
that you have prepared for those who truly love you; through Jesus
Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one
God, in glory everlasting. Amen.
Wisdom of Solomon 3:1-9
Psalm 24
Revelation 21:1-6a
John 11:32-44
8am: Holy Eucharist
Our early service is unaccompanied by music and usually lasts about 50 minutes. Coffee and fellowship are offered before the service begins in the parish hall, while the sanctuary is available for quiet prayer. Another coffee hour follows the service.
9am: Sunday School
In addition to Nursery care for children under three, there are two classrooms of Godly Play offered from pre-school through 2nd grade. 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders are invited to their own classroom where they'll study the Episcopal Prayerbook and Catechism in a pre-confirmation type class. One the first Sunday of most months, a special Children's Chapel event is offered for all kids. This year is brand new for us, so come early (or stay late of you're an eight O'clocker) and join us!
10am: Holy Eucharist
Our late morning service is accompanied by organ music, congregational singing, and the offerings of our adult mixed choir. On the first, and occasionally second, Sunday of each month, Soul Purpose, our contemporary music band, accompanies the liturgy. Nursery care is available for our youngest members and guests. A festive coffee hour for children and adults follows the Eucharist.

Santa's Seconds Sale: will be held on Saturday, December 5 from 10 AM to
3 PM. Setup will be on Friday, December 4, starting at 10 AM. We
need volunteers! A light lunch will be served on both days. For the past two years, profits from the sales have been higher
than ever before. This was due to the high quality of the donations and taking
the time to display them in an appealing manner. Things that always sell well
include jewelry, stationery, greeting cards, Xmas decorations, clothing with a
Christmas motif, linens, pictures, knick-knacks, candles, toys, games, and
current books. Items should be in good repair. Old pieces of luggage; single,
unmatched glasses and coffee mugs; and old computers and accessories do not
sell well. Please donate them to local thrift shops. Donations may be
left in the basement of the Cornerstone or on the back of the stage in the
Parish Hall during the week before the sale. If you have questions, please call
Stephanie Roberts at 253/840-4370 or email: whixers6@yahoo.com. Thank you!

Knitting
Ministry needs small (stuffed) animals. Last Sunday there were 43 prayer shawls, fleece, and knitted blankets
for foster care blessed. We need small stuffed animals, 5 ½-7" to attach to the
foster care blankets. Larger ones are difficult to attach. Please no Christmas
or Easter animals. We have ordered teddy bears that are $ 10.20 per dozen. If anyone is
interested in donating animals or money to buy more, this would be very much
appreciated.

coffee mugs with church logo are here! Some will
be in the church kitchen to use for coffee hours, and the rest are for sale to use
at home. If you would like to purchase one (or more) they are $ 6 apiece. There
will be an envelope for money collection in the box of mugs, on the stage, in
the Parish Hall. Please help yourself.
