Announcements

At the last meeting of our Church Council, a discussion was held on whether to have some leaders from Duffy Health Center come to our congregation and share information with us about their REACH Mobile Unit.  REACH stands for “Respectful, Equitable, Access to Compassionate Health Care.”  The mobile unit consists of a beautiful van, and two professionals who provide person-centered supportive services to those in need, including access to showers, basic food items, and support  navigating resources on and off the Cape.  Duffy has asked our congregation if we would be willing to “host” the van on Mondays from 10:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. This would entail providing a parking space, as well as access to water and electricity.  Be sure to learn more about this possible partnership on Sunday, October 12^t after worship.  We’ll meet leaders from Duffy, learn about the work they are doing in our community, ask questions, and visit the van!  After this meeting, the Church Council will consider whether to go forward with this partnership.  All are encouraged to be present on the 12^th!

Save the date of Wednesday, October 15^th at 5 PM for a fun night out with some of our siblings in the faith from the Northside UMC.  We will be meeting at the Hearth and Kettle Restaurant in South Yarmouth.  Rev. Rodney Dobbs, pastor of the Northside UMC and Pastor John have been talking together about ways our congregations might support each other in ministry.  They thought a night out to enjoy a meal, and to get to know each other better would be a fun start.  So, plan to come enjoy a nice meal, have some good Christian fellowship, and see where the Spirit might be leading us.  An opportunity to sign up for this evening out will be posted in the Parish Hall.
