Pastors, please forward these to your delegates.  Rev. Kelli Whitman, Clerk, will have a few hard copies at the meeting on October 25th, but it will be helpful if folks bring a copy or have access to them digitally.
And,you are encouraged to bring an item that represents part of the history of your church.   This could be a picture, a bulletin, a plaque, a communion set, etc.  We will be placing these in the window sills of the Sanctuary at High Street as we honor our past and look ahead at all the “new things” to come!

Like to sing?  A Volunteer Association Choir will be assembled — with rehearsal at 1 pm that day!  The anthem will be Come Build a Church, by Ken Medema.    If you’d like to sing, please contact John Terison ( jtkterison@gmail.com ) for a copy for practicing at home.  Here’s a video of another choir singing the anthem;  you can sing along!
