Fairlawn West Partners in Ministry (aka "members
and friends"),
This Sunday in the 9:30 am worship service we
are sharing in celebration of the baptism of Max
Sitko and will be presenting children's story
Bibles to parents of younger children. The
theme is "The Story." There is also the Taize
meditation service at 11:00 am. That service is
starting to grow.
Thanks to the folks who helped out at the Miller
Ave UCC Lunch on Us last Saturday. There are a
host of opportunities for reaching out to others
through Fairlawn West. The annual Spaghetti
Supper fund raiser for the Williard Food Pantry
will be Friday, Nov 9th. This is the largest
fund raiser for the pantry. We can use your
help. And the Sew 'N Sell group is raffling off
their beautiful quilt with the money going into
a special mission project. Tickets are
available in the front lobby on Sundays.
The last "Caller" mailed newsletter took 10 days
to be delivered. We found out a week after we
mailed it that the postal service has slowed
down their delivery of bulk mail up to two
weeks. So, we will try to adjust.
See you at the picnic!
