ONGOING NOTICES
Fall Book Study: This fall the book study group will meet from 2:30 – 3:30 pm on Thursday November 11 and November 25 with Rev. Mike. A question at the forefront for many of us on our Christian journey is: Why does there seem to be so much suffering in the world? One of the great books written in response to this question is When Bad
Things Happen to Good People by Harold S Kushner. It is my hope that our study of this book and our discussions together will lead us, in some way, to a better understanding of this question. Those planning to attend who haven’t already signed up, please see Rev. Mike.
The two Bible Study Fellowship Groups – Monday evenings, 7 pm-8:30 pm (1st, 3rd & 5th), and Tuesday afternoons 2 pm-3:30 pm (1st, 3rd, & 5th) will be studying the Letter to the Hebrews. Hebrews will help us to see how the Old and New Testaments are linked, how they are two parts of the same astonishing story! Rev. Ron will be very pleased to see you! The Tuesday group will meet on November 2, 16 and 30; the Monday group on November 1, 15 and 29.
Diocesan History Book 1710-2010 by Dr. Brian Cuthbertson. This book is on sale for $35.00 per copy. As a parish, if we order 20 or more copies, we can obtain them for $30 each. If there is anyone who wishes to purchase a copy, please let me know. – Wendy (443-4630)

PWRDF; There are memorial cards for the Primates Fund on the table
